Summary/Abstract: Basing our study on Lakoff’s (1987) and Kövecses’s (2003) classification of LUST metaphors in English, in this paper we provide a contrastive analysis of English and Serbian metaphors for LUST (the latter being compiled from the Serbian online edition of Cosmopolitan) to show the similarities in the conceptualisation of this emotion in the two languages and in particular point out its gendered nature.
