Simple item page
dc.abstract.enThe paper explores the polysemy of the terms denoting ‘leg/foot’ from a cross-linguistic perspective with the aim of identifying lexical and semantic correspondences in metonymic and metaphorical expressions across multiple languages, in search for universal or common conceptualizations tied to shared bodily experiences. The analysis focuses on expressions related to ‘leg/foot’ with varying degrees of figurativeness from European and non-European languages and is structured to examine basic semantic extensions, the metonymies and metaphors of ‘leg/foot’, and the cultural connotations and idiomatic usages of these terms.
