PURPOSEFUL ACTION IS SELF-PROPELLED MOTION TO A DESTINATION (PITF,191)

PURPOSEFUL ACTION IS GOAL-DIRECTED MOTION

Description
Metaphor Level General
Metaphor Type Primary, Entailed
Experiential Basis
Source Frame Self propelled motion to a destination
Roles:self-mover, self-motion_x-schema, source, path, goal
Target Frame Purposeful action
Roles:actor, action_x-schema, objective, action_type, effector, effort


Mappings:

objective <= goal
I.e. PURPSOSES ARE DESIRED LOCATIONS: goal has binding to objective in Source domain frame, and objective is bound to Desire.desired_situation
actor <= self-mover
self-mover has binding to actor in Source domain frame
action_x-schema <= self-motion_x-schema
action_x-schema_kind <= path
a.k.a., MEANS ARE PATHS
