Article about metaphor and the embodied experience!!!

I read an article that said about the role have in the people’s embodied experiences people had in their use and understanding of metaphor. Contrary to the traditional belief that metaphor transcends human experience and best reflects metaphysical truths, there is substantial evidence from cognitive science that demonstrates how a metaphor is fundamentally grounded in embodiment. We review this empirical evidence and discuss the methodological strategies employed by linguists and psychologists seeking connections between embodiment and metaphor. This article said that the people think and speak of a desire in terms of hunger, which specifically shows how systematic patterns of bodily experience serve as the source domains for many cross-linguistic metaphorical mappings. These data provide strong evidence in favor of the idea that metaphorical thought and language arises arise from, and is grounded in, embodiment.
The work described in this article suggests the prominence of correlated embodied experience in how we ordinarily think and talk in metaphor. Our advocacy of embodied metaphor may appear to embrace a rather reductionist view of metaphor (a complaint that is commonly made against the work of Lakoff and Johnson, among others). Although we clearly aim as part of our adherence to the cognitive commitment to explore links between language, mind, and body, the claim that metaphor is grounded in the embodied experience actually enables us to see what is the most powerful aspect about metaphor when used to express highly poetic meanings. Rather than just reducing metaphor to the body, this work shows how the body gives rise to metaphor that both appears to "revitalize language", as Shelley would put it, and express relations that seem "forgotten", as suggested by Barfield.
