Keywords: conceptual metaphor; ontological metaphor; image metaphor
Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at outlining the importance of linguistic metaphor in everyday language, combining corpus analysis with the principles of cognitive semantics. To this purpose, 200 contexts of use of the Spanish verb fluir are analysed, extracted from the CORPES corpus. Three quarters of the analysed contexts include conceptual metaphors (especially ontological metaphors and image metaphors) whose source domain is represented by liquids.
