Investigating the role of embodiment in space metaphors, and the restrictions it has on innovation
The aim of this project is to identify to what extent space metaphors must be grounded in embodiment. A basic frame exists for the space metaphors under investigation, however; the particular variant adopted may differ.
An inter-disciplinary investigation into particular space metaphors will be taken, thus semantic, pragmatic, and etymological considerations will be taken into account. Phonological restrictions on space metaphors will be investigated as an alternative to the embodiment approach.
