Figurative language is the outcome of our figurative thought, which derives from the ever-present interconnection between our physical experience and the relation we set up with the cultural context in which we live.

Abstract

Figurative language is the outcome of our figurative thought, which derives from the ever-present interconnection between our physical experience and the relation we set up with the cultural context in which we live. Not only are the mind and the body inseparable, but they cannot be reduced to mechanical brain activity or abstract mental representations separated from the whole personhood.
