The paper is devoted to the analysis of the world of feelings from the cognitive linguistics perspective. The authors have used more than 400 idioms from French, English and Polish to examine anger and its occurrence in language. Selected cognitive issues are sketched in the article and basic properties of idioms are defined and described. The authors compare syntactic schemes, study equivalence, metaphors, search for similarities and dissimilarities. As idioms are an integral part of each language, the analysis permits to discover linguistic representation of reality (LRR). Although anger is a common feeling, the studied material shows that the variety of idioms cause differences in the LRR.
