Rezumat: This paper deals with a concept of great significance in cognitive linguistics – embodiment. It is based on the notion that the mind is not abstract and independent from the body, but that it has a physical nature. It grows out of biological predispositions, as well as out of the physical and social experience of a person, this experience is reflected in his/her language. Specific examples of embodiment in commonly used word expressions follow the theoretical part of the work. The emphasis is put on its application in the field of special vocabulary, with a focus on the names of plants. The impact of embodiment is documented in selected German names of plants, pictures are included for reference.
