Summary

Chapter 9 focuses on cross-linguistic and cross-cultural variation in embodied metaphor. It looks at how embodied metaphors are experienced differently by people who speak different languages. It also discusses whether, and if so how, speaking a second language affects the way in which one experiences embodied metaphor in that language. It explores the issue of whether the strength to which a metaphorical relationship is embodied predicts the likelihood that it will be universal.
