hi everybody.i am eriting an exam tomorrow morning..i just can't understand what image schematic metaphors are.i don't need any internet pages i know what there stand.have some examples so if anyone ca nhelp me
1.Do you see my point?
2.Budget your time carefully
3.I.ve just turned thirty.
Task says:identify the conceptual metaphors nad indicate whether their sorce domain is image schematic
Think of how these words are used in your examples: see, budget, turned.
This site may help you.

well i understanr that.seeing is understanding and time is money but i really don't understand how i can recognize ifsource domain is image schematic
What does "domain is image schematic" mean?
Sure, I can help you understand image schematic metaphors and provide examples. Image schematic metaphors are a type of metaphor that draw on basic cognitive structures, known as image schemas, to convey abstract or complex ideas by mapping them onto more concrete and familiar concepts. These image schemas are patterns of sensory-motor experiences that help us make sense of the world.
Now, let's look at the examples you provided and identify the conceptual metaphors:
1. "Do you see my point?" - This is an example of a conceptual metaphor that uses the image schema of vision. In this metaphor, the abstract concept of understanding or agreeing with someone's argument or perspective is mapped onto the concrete experience of seeing something.
2. "Budget your time carefully" - This example utilizes the image schema of financial budgeting to convey the abstract idea of managing time efficiently. The act of planning and allocating resources in a budget is metaphorically linked to the act of planning and allocating time.
3. "I've just turned thirty" - This statement doesn't explicitly contain a conceptual metaphor. Instead, it provides an example of an age-related expression. However, if we were to use a conceptual metaphor here, it would likely involve the image schema of movement along a timeline. The abstract idea of progressing in age is metaphorically linked to physically moving along a path or timeline.
To determine the source domain of these conceptual metaphors, you need to identify the underlying image schema being used. In the first example, the source domain is vision, as it relies on the image schema of seeing. In the second example, the source domain is finance, as it draws on the image schema of financial budgeting. Lastly, if we consider a conceptual metaphor for the age-related expression in the third example, the source domain would be spatial or temporal movement.
Remember to thoroughly analyze the language and look for any metaphorical mappings to identify these image schematic metaphors in your exam. Good luck with your exam!
