This study aims to explore the intricate relationship between language and culture by examining somatic phraseologisms found in proverbs, revealing how bodily references reflect cultural values and social norms across different societies.Through a comparative analysis of various proverbs from diverse linguistic backgrounds, the research seeks to identify common themes and variations in the use of somatic expressions, highlighting their significance in conveying cultural identity and collective wisdom.By delving into specific examples, the study will illustrate how these somatic phraseologisms not only enrich language but also serve as a lens through which we can understand the underlying beliefs and practices of different cultures.While the study of somatic phraseologisms in proverbs offers a fascinating glimpse into the relationship between language and culture, it is essential to recognize the limitations of such analyses. This perspective argues that focusing on bodily references may oversimplify the complexities of cultural values and social norms, as proverbs can be interpreted in myriad ways that extend beyond their somatic elements.
