【 摘 要 】

The paper deals with some of the image metaphors which are encoded in lexemes themselves, i.e. Serbian and English (standard) names for different kinds of fruit and vegetables; moreover, these are repeated metaphors since the perceived similarities between two different entities 'belong' either to the whole language community or some of its groups. The study includes both dead and living metaphors, as well as old and newly-created ones, mostly in slang. The domain of human body, subdivided into parts of the body, body fluids, and changes on/in the body, is the only target domain observed.
