  • Both source and target are primary experiences. And these experiences are correlated early on.
  • MORE IS UP, STATES ARE LOCATIONS
• Composed/complex:
  • LIFE IS A JOURNEY
• Entailed
  • ENTERING A STATE IS ARRIVING AT A DESTINATION (by STATES ARE LOCATIONS)

A primary metaphor is one that emerges directly from correlations in experience, as in MORE IS UP, PURPOSES ARE DESTINATIONS , (abstract) ORGANIZATION IS PHYSICAL STRUCTURE , PERSISTENCE IS BEING ERECT , and so on Several primary metaphors can be joined together to form complex metaphors, such as THEORIES ARE BUILDINGS , which is constituted by the last two primary metaphors.
