Summary

In this chapter, I attempt to identify the main ingredients of the extended view of CMT, characterize the most important distinctions it involves, outline the broad shape of the new view, and draw out its implications for a general understanding of metaphor. In the new view, we can distinguish three types of conceptual pathways: schematicity hierarchy pathways, ad hoc pathways, and shared image schema pathways. The application of these different pathways results in different kinds of conceptual metaphors: systematic metaphors (based on image schema pathways), non-systematic (isolated) metaphors (based on ad hoc pathways), and systematic resemblance (analogy) metaphors (based on shared image schema pathways).
