==Lakoff: Image schemas in Brugman's ''The story of Over''==
In case study two of his book ''Women, Fire and Dangerous Things'', Lakoff re-presented the analysis of the English word ''over'' done by [[Claudia Brugman]] in her (1981) master's thesis. Similar to the analysis of ''out'' given by Johnson, Lakoff argued that there were six basic spatial schemas for the English word ''over''. Moreover, Lakoff gave a detailed accounting of how these schemas were interrelated in terms of what he called a ''radial category structure''. For example, these six schemas could be both further specified by other spatial schemas such as whether the [[trajector]] was in contact with the [[landmark]] or not (as in ''the plane flew over the mountain'' vs. ''he climbed over the mountain''). Furthermore, Lakoff identified a group of "transformational" image schemata such as rotational schemas and path to object mass, as in ''Spider-Man climbed all over the wall''. This analysis raised profound questions about how image schemas could be grouped, transformed, and how sequences of image schemas could be chained together in language, mind, and brain.
