    Annotation This article presents a cross-cultural investigation into somatic paroemias (proverbs and idioms structured by bodily imagery) positioning them as fundamental linguistic expressions that encapsulate a culture's embodied memory and actively shape conceptions of national identity. By integrating an analytical methodology that couples corpus linguistics with conceptual metaphor theory, the study delineates the implicit, body-based cognitive schemas structuring proverbial language across Russian, English, and Japanese.
