Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide a contrastive analysis of somatic phraseologisms in Korean and Polish, with particular emphasis on idioms containing the constituent components eye, hand, and head. The analysis is grounded in the assumptions of cognitive linguistics, including the theories of embodiment and conceptual metonymy. It highlights both the universal patterns of conceptualization based on the linguistic representation of human body parts as cognitive instruments, as well as certain differences in the linguistic worldviews that stem from distinct cultural backgrounds. The study confirms the high productivity of somatic metaphors in Korean and Polish phraseology and their crucial role in reflecting social norms, modes of thinking, and cultural values.
