Abstract
This article examines the semantic features of somatic phraseological units in the English language. Somatic idioms containing body-part names reflect human emotions, behavior, and cultural perception. The study analyzes their figurative meanings, emotional expressiveness, and metaphorical character using semantic and descriptive methods. The results demonstrate that somatic phraseological units play an important role in enriching English phraseology and intercultural communication.
