Abstract:
Metaphor is regarded as a three-part phenomenon which includes image schemas, conceptual metaphors and language metaphors. The image schemas – the structured bodily experience – determine the trajectory of conceptual metaphors which in their turn are realized in the form of various language metaphors.
Keywords: image schema, metaphor, conceptual metaphor, experience basis, anthropomorphic / zoomorphic models
