Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to see, through a corpus analysis of the Corpus of Contemporary American English, if embodied metaphors are present for the words head and heart. It can be argued that, considering that humans think of the heart as their emotional center and the head as the center for logic and thinking, some of the metaphorical expressions that contain those two words would be examples of embodiment in metaphor. Through the corpus analysis, a sample of 100 examples was chosen for each of the words. The examples were of both the literal meaning of the words and different metaphorical expressions. The final results of the analysis show examples of embodiment in multiple categories that were found.
