Summary/Abstract: This paper examines phraseologisms with the lexeme tongue (jezik) and the target domain of linguistic action in the Serbian and English language. The method used was conceptual analysis, and phraseologisms are classified according to the concepts that form their meanings. Comparing the expressions we can conclude that there is a high degree of compatibility between the two languages, probably due to the universality of certain phenomena related to the basis of human functioning, as well as the human cognitive structure.
