Metaphorical concept
Orientational metaphors
They have basis in our physical and cultural experience
They give to a concept a spatial orientation
Ex. Good is up; bad is down Rational is up; Emotional is down
Works because of how our bodies are made
How we walk to the front, we stand erect when we are awake and lay down when we sleep
They are ruled by the Experimental Basis they are composed
The Experimental Basis is the verb or intervention by which we place the metaphor
They are prioritized by the cultural coherence
To define more elaborate metaphors we have to take on account of
Cultural values system
Mainstream cultures matters
Ontological metaphors
This ones are like the orientational ones
But they are not limited to concepts linked to our personal and cultural experiences
Because they are mainly formed by containers of another concepts
They work by defining concepts as
Entities
Events and actions

Activities
Containers of actions
Container object metaphors
States
The visual field we can observe
Structural metaphors

Conduit metaphors
Ideas

*This ones hide meanings of the objects (by themselves) that are incongruent or meaningless with the sense of the metaphors are trying to offer on their totality.
Required context's metaphors
*Ideas we use of a concept to establish a new concept (ex. Argument is a war)
