Entry Image Schema
Other Aliases Image Schematic Domain
Description Image schemas are prelinguistic representations of highly schematic patterns arising from imagistic domains of sensory-motor experience that recur in a variety of embodied domains (e.g. Container, Forces, Scale, Locomotion). Image schemas, as embodied structures, have a psychological reality, are internally structured, and have inferential structures that motivate conceptual metaphor mappings.

In MetaNet, image schemas are represented as frames.
