They are preverbal and while language and reasoning build from them, they are not in themselves learned from language. While there are discussions on which concepts should be included in the term image schema, a common restriction is to describe them as the generic spatiotemporal relationships 4 learned from the repeated in- teraction and perception with and of the environment and the objects therein.

The first pertinent distinction is that image schemas can be schemas or which notions are image-schematic to begin with, some common examples are Containment, Support and Link (see Figure 2.1). Despite working on the topic of introducing novel image- schematic concepts and how to structure them, no concrete stand on which image schemas that should be counted into a canon of image schemas is made. Instead, conventions from the literature are used where already introduced image schemas and their primitives are written with small caps, spatial and conceptual primitives that are still up for general agreement are written in simple lower case. The only exception where novel image schemas are written with small caps are those that can be provided with empirical support. both static and dynamic While there is currently no consensus on the number of image
