“…Croft (1993) defines metonymy as a process of domain highlighting in which the meaning of an expression can often only be determined against the background of a set of overlapping domains that jointly serve as a base against which the meaning is profiled. In the same viewpoint, various scholars have claimed that metonymy is as pervasive a phenomenon in language and thought as metaphor (Babina & Proskurnich, 2019;Hung, Truong, et al, 2018;Vu, 2016a). It has been argued that the conceptual and linguistic significance of metonymy is comparable to that of metaphor.…”

Research on idioms from the point of view of cognitive linguistics, in particular through conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy in cognitive semantics, has been steadily growing. While there have been quite a few investigations into the role of conceptual metaphors in meaning formation, conceptual metonymies are still left underexplored. This article examines the role of metonymic conceptualization of personality in English and Vietnamese idioms containing "head", "face" and “eyes” from the conceptual metonymy theory of cognitive linguistics. With analyzed examples from 713 English languages and 947 Vietnamese idioms of body parts collected, the article shows that metonymic conceptualization plays an essential part in the formation of meaning. There are many similarities in the way "head", "face" and “eyes” are conceptualized for personality in both English and Vietnamese cultures. However, why Vietnamese body part idioms use a lot of symbolic pairs, English idioms do not. The study suggests more attention to conceptual metonymy in teaching idioms in order to help students infer idiomatic meanings. Rather than asking students to learn by heart the composite meaning of idioms, teachers should encourage them to guess the idiomatic meaning. Besides, conceptual metonymy should be explained to students since it helps language learners infer idiomatic meaning and retain it longer.

“…Taking into account the ordinary knowledge of the face movement, we define it as the movement of the organs constituting the face, that is, the movement of the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks and cheekbones, lips, chin. On the basis of the written above, we can say that the concept of FACIAL EXPRESSION is integrative and can be represented as a set of concepts that have been designated as UPPER AREA EXPRESSION (FOREHEAD, EYEBROWS), MIDDLE AREA EXPRESSION (EYES, NOSE), LOWER AREA EXPRESSION (MOUTH, CHIN) (Babina & Proskurnich, 2019).…”

Problems of studying kinesics as a branch of linguistics, as well as classifications of kinem based on their functions are discussed in the article. The study examines the features of the use of non-verbal means of communication, the use of gestures, facial expressions and oculesy within the Ukrainian and English languages in particular. The methods of verbalization of kinesics and the difficulties of their translation in fiction are also analyzed in the text. The review of theoretical studies has shown that kinesics is an integral part of the daily interaction of people, since it helps to express emotions through symptomatic body movements, contributes to the assessment of reality, and also performs the function of regulating communication: identifies the status of an individual, encourages action, shows readiness for contact, and on the contrary, the desire to interrupt it, and also helps to comply with the norms of etiquette accepted in society. During the analysis, the authors came to the conclusion that the translation of the kinesic components of a literary text presents certain difficulties, since the kinemes have not only a figurative and cognitive, but also an ideological and aesthetic function. Despite the fact that the physiology of people is similar and the kinemes in many languages are the same, certain difficulties can appear when translating kinems, which can cause errors if the playback method is chosen incorrectly. Therefore, the translator should remember about the double nature of kinem, since this is not just an action, it can carry a hidden content and influence the recipient of the text, as it helps to better understand the character of the character. As a result, the authors found that the features of literary translation generate the need to use all kinds of translation transformations (lexical, lexical-grammatical, grammatical transformations).
