• This paper focuses on the classic problem of how to deal with the translation of Phraseological Units (PU) linked to emotion, and contemplates a threefold path: their omission –when the translator/interpreter does not feel capable of rendering them into another language–; the relentless search for a functional equivalence that perfectly fulfills the role of PUs in the target language (TL); and, finally, the semantic-pragmatic neutralization of phraseologism as a less compromising and more practical option. For this purpose, we will first devote a few lines to reviewing some references that could be considered classical and current works in the area of a transversal nature and specifically focused on emotional concepts such as fear. Later, we will analyze metaphorization and metonymy from the point of view of Cognitive Grammar and the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), as a strategy for the translation of emotions in PU, as well as the false universality of phraseological representations related to emotions. This will provide us with the theoretical support to conduct a case study, which will be presented in Sect. 5. Finally, we will draw some conclusions from the findings of our research.
