COGNITIVE PECULIARITIES OF SOMATIC UNITS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Abstract
This article examines the cognitive peculiarities of somatic units in the English language and their role in linguistic representation and conceptualization. Somatic units, which are lexical and phraseological expressions related to parts of the human body, occupy an important place in cognitive linguistics because they reflect human perception, emotions, cultural values, and conceptual thinking.
