Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper explores the significant role of somatisms in lexicography, emphasizing their impact on language and meaning. Somatisms, or expressions that derive from bodily experiences, play a crucial role in shaping vocabulary and idiomatic expressions across languages. By examining various lexicons, we illustrate how somatic expressions reflect cultural perceptions of the body and influence linguistic structures. The study highlights the importance of incorporating somatisms into lexicographical resources, as they provide deeper insights into the relationship between language, culture, and human experience. Ultimately, this research advocates for a more nuanced approach to lexicography that acknowledges the vital role of somatic expressions in enriching the understanding of language and its evolution
