Summary/Abstract: This article illustrates how important role metaphor plays in understanding a phenomenon as complex as the nature of emotion and how the human body influences the conceptualization of emotion.

The purpose of this article is to make a comparison of the metaphorical models applied on idioms denotiong fear in Macedonin and Russian language following the similar studies made for other Slavic languages.
