About this document
Metaphors in Image-Schemas Analysis by Sandra Peña is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses conceptual metaphors based on image schemas like containers and paths. It argues that the meaning of these metaphors is derived from partially exploring the structure and logic of the involved image schema, through conceptual projection and combination principles. Specifically, it analyzes the metaphor "I am bursting with happiness" to show how the container schema provides a generic space that licenses the mapping between domains via conceptual blending.
