The significance of this article is supported by the fact that the activities of the European Society of Phraseology (EUROPHRAS) and the European Association of Lexicography (EUROLEX), with their regular conventions and publications, attest to the widespread European interest in cross-linguistic and cross-cultural phraseology research. Names of body parts are considered one of the most frequently used words in the formation of phraseological units.The current paper aims to conduct a comparative study of the somatic phraseological units of the English and Russian languages, indicating the degree of interlingual phraseological equivalence and identifying the factors that influence it.
