We can identify a range of verbs (which constitute a part of idiomatic expressions) that indicate different alterations of the body’s integrity. As for their figurative use, they serve to describe a mental state. The parts of the body linked to the sensory, motor and intellectual spheres tend to be accompanied by adjectives that are part of the terminology of the psychiatric past. We come to the conclusion that some medical terms (in this case the parts of the body) have entered into everyday speech and have assumed symbolic meanings. From the interlingual point of view, it is whereas possible to see considerable differences between Italian and Polish. It follows that the linguistic picture of the world helps to understand the generally accepted statements in a certain community.}, type={Article}, title={The parts of the body in phraseological expressions and their link with medical terminology: a comparison between Italian and Polish}, title={Le parti del corpo nelle espressioni fraseologiche e il loro legame con la terminologia medica: l’italiano e il polacco a confronto}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/112952/PDF/Ling.Sil.%2040-2019%2016-L.Marcol-Cacon.pdf}, doi={10.24425/linsi.2019.129413}, keywords={parts of body, phraseological expressions, medical terminology, translation}, }
