Summary/Abstract: When referring to studying phrasemes from a cognitive linguistic aspect, the primary goal is to answer the question why a certain phraseme has the meaning it has and why it is used in a certain contextual situation. When speaking of somatic phrasemes, cognitive linguistic aspect is used to try to resolve a dilemma why a certain lexeme denoting a part of the human body is a somatic component of a certain phraseme. The objective of this paper is to analyze the motivation behind the meaning of Turkish somatic phraseme with the lexeme dil (tongue) as a component. Besides, Turkish phrasemes in this paper where the lexeme dil (tongue) functions as a somatic component are compared to similar phrasemes in Bosnian language. This analysis should be able to answer the question whether there are similarities in the conceptualization of certain activities and experiences using the domain of body parts with two speakers of genetically and typologically different languages.
