| description | This article focuses on the human body as the source domain in the
conceptualization of different activities in various target domains. The
paper examines the role of body part terms jezik, uho/uvo, mozak and obraz in
the development of phraseological meaning. The corpus for the research
includes 211 idioms collected from the phraseological and other dictionaries
(for example, držati jezik za zubima, nemati dlake na jeziku, puniti kome
uši, govoriti gluvim ušima, imati mozga u glavi, puniti kome mozak, imati
obraz kao đon, čovek crna obraza, etc.). The analysis shows that the
phraseological potential of body part terms depends on their conceptual,
semantic and derivational potential, i.e. body part terms which have a rich
derivational and semantic network also have numerous idioms. The
phraseological meaning is often motivated by the functional seme in the
sememe of the body part term, so the metonymy BODY PART FOR ITS FUNCTION is
the most common pattern of semantic change. The idioms with lexemes jezik,
uho/uvo, mozak and obraz mainly denote actions that are peculiar to these
parts of the body. These meanings are based on metaphorical mental images in
which the body parts have some qualities, or operate as the subject, object
or instrument of a physical action. The existence of the same semantic
patterns in other languages confirms the universality of bodily experience in
the conceptualization of emotions, knowledge and reasoning, speaking,
hearing, etc. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and
