Approccio contrastivo JF - Neophilologica JA - NEO VL - 33 IS - 0 SE - Articles DO - 10.31261/NEO.2021.33.04 UR - https://www.journals.us.edu.pl/index.php/NEO/article/view/12705 AB - The article provides a cognitive analysis of phraseological units with the heart component in comparative terms. The purpose of the analysis is to show the similarities and differences in expressing emotions (positive, neutral and negative) between two languages originating from different linguistic groups: the Croatian language (South Slavic group) and the Italian language (from the group of the Romance languages). Phraseological units are analysed on the basis of three criteria: identical in both languages; partially adequate in both languages; idiomatic for one language. The research presents the motivation of phraseologisms and aims to prove that the heart is related to human emotional life and is a container for feelings.
