Book synopsis

This book is a further step towards a §crosslinguistic generalization concerning the §metaphor cluster called the Event Structure Metaphor §(ESM). ESM may be a candidate for a metaphorical §universal because of its universal experiential §motivation. §In ESM, various abstract concepts of events are §systematically conceptualized in terms of the §concrete concepts of §space, motion, and force. Just like in English and §other languages, ESM is found to be generally and §similarly manifested in Arabic, which is a language §from a different linguistic family. This book, §therefore, strengthens earlier claims about the §potential universality of ESM which is a consequence §of the shared sensorimotor, image-schematic §experience that is common to all human-beings, and §which is bound to surface linguistically in the same §way at the higher, generic levels.
