%X Based on cognitive linguistics, the authors decided to investigate a particular sort of literature, two Balkan collections of laws: the Albanian Kanuni i Sk£¿nderbeut and the Serbian Zakonik Cara Stefana Du£¿ana. In these texts metaphors and metonymies are reflected in some expressions containing the body-part terms for ¡®face¡¯, ¡®hand¡¯, and ¡®blood¡¯, Alb. faqe, Se.lice, Alb. dor£¿, Se. ruka, and Alb. gjak, Se. krv. Comparison of the Serb and Albanian texts and the occurrences of the cognates gjak and krv (¡®blood¡¯), faqe and lice (¡®face¡¯) and dor£¿ and ruka (¡®hand¡¯) shows that, although differences occur, there are similarities
