Suggestions for article "Conceptual metaphor"
[edit]Hello, Alimontavon!
I found a misspelled word in the artice Conceptual metaphor, and nearby it a statement that I think is not worded correctly. Here is the quoted section, with the portion I'm focusing on in italics:
A mapping is the way in which a source domain tracks onto and describes aspects of the target domain. Mappings describe the mental organization of information in domains, the underlying phenomenon that drives metaphorical usage in language. This conceptualization relates closely to Image schemas, mental representations used in reasoning, through the extension spacial and physical laws to more complex situations.
Does the following reflect what you meant to say?
... relates closely to image schemas, mental representations used in reasoning and, by extension, spatial and physical laws, to more complex situations.
or maybe even: "... to apply to more complex situations" ?? - Jkgree (talk) 20:30, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
