Sažetak
This paper attempts to determine and classify figurative meanings of the lexeme face in the English and Croatian corpora. The aim was to explore cultural variation between English and Croatian in realizations of figurative meanings of face. The total of examples provides a basis for some generalizations to be made regarding similarities and differences between the realizations of abstract concepts in English and Croatian. We found the same conceptual metaphors and metonymies with equivalent linguistic expressions in both languages, but also the same conceptual metaphors and metonymies with different linguistic expressions in Croatian and English what reveals the similarities, but also subtle cultural differences between the speakers of the two languages.
