Comparison of English and Italian PUs containing designations of parts of the body

The main topic of this thesis is the comparison of English and Italian in terms of phraseological units that each language uses regularly. The idioms that appear in the analysis belong to a specific group of PUs: those which contain designations of parts of the body. The first part of the paper is divided into a few sections and it provides an insight into some of the theoretical concepts related to phraseology as a field of study. The next part deals with the contrastive analysis of PUs in both languages whilst providing information about the level of equivalency as well as the origins and the usage of the PUs. Finally, throughout this paper it is possible to learn which idioms are the most frequent in each language and which body part, in particular, is most recurring.
