À vue de nez and czuæ pismo nosem. The nose: a polyvalent organ in French and Polish dictionaries
This paper proposes to review the funcionning of the words nez / nos respectively in French and in Polish. It envisages the presentation of the semantic and diastratic aspects of these words which are characterized by a large number of uses and abundant phraseology in both languages. The general and specialized dictionaries (phraseology, slang) of French and Polish are a source of comments.
From the meanings in the standard vocabulary to the slang uses, this paper highlights their peculiarities: parallels and divergences in the functioning in the figurative sense and within idiomatic expressions. The creativity of French and Polish speakers concerning colloquial and slang formations around this common and concrete name belonging to the elementary vocabulary is demonstrated.
