From Etymology to Conceptual Metaphor Theory: Ancient Greek θνῄσκω ‘to die’ and the metaphor DEATH IS DEPARTURE in Indo-European

Risultato della ricerca: Contributo in libroChapter

Abstract

The paper proposes the integration of historical linguistics and cognitive semantics for the reconstruction of the semantic development of Ancient Greek θνῄσκω ‘to die’ and other Indo-European verbs, illustrating the complex interaction of several cognitive processes, such as metonymy, image schemas and metaphor – specifically, DEATH IS DEPARTURE – in shaping the meaning of these figurative items over time.
