This study considers verbal idioms that include a noun referring to a body part (Npc), for instance avoir du nez. In the first part, we present a corpus of 466 French verbal idioms including 19 Npc, and we describe in detail their syntactic structures and frequency. In the second part, we describe different types of syntactic-semantic relations between French idioms and their equivalents in Italian. In the third part, finally, we present the results of the French-Italian comparative analysis: half of the French idioms that include a Npc were transparent to Italian speakers, 30% were characterised by variable difficulty in comprehension and 20% by total opacity.

Abstract
This study considers verbal idioms that include a noun referring to a body part (Npc), for instance avoir du nez. In the first part, we present a corpus of 466 French verbal idioms including 19 Npc, and we describe in detail their syntactic structures and frequency. In the second part, we describe different types of syntactic-semantic relations between French idioms and their equivalents in Italian. In the third part, finally, we present the results of the French-Italian comparative analysis: half of the French idioms that include a Npc were transparent to Italian speakers, 30% were characterised by variable difficulty in comprehension and 20% by total opacity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
