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.
