Cognitive linguistics sets a stress on the importance of considering the phenomenon of “embodiment” through the prism of studying the core role of the human body, the corresponding cognitive and linguistic anthropomorphic structures, and their influence on man’s sensemaking of the world. Within the framework of the article, it has been demonstrated using the material of the lexical structure of the polysemantic word arm that the structure and functioning of the human body predetermines the vital aspects of our thinking, verbalization and existence in general. Lexical invariant of this polysemantic word is defined as a cluster of dominant features that underlies the figurative metaphorical meanings of this word which can be considered as a part of our educational system. The description of functioning of the human body is projected onto abstract and concrete objects and environmental phenomena around us.
