Abstract

This chapter is a cross-linguistic synthesis of patterns found in non-corporeal uses of âeyeâ. Using data from previous studies representing a wide range of languages and families, the analysis here starts with common claims about the body within the embodiment framework and then examines semantic extensions from the physical properties of the âeyeâ as triggers for metonymic and metaphorical chains. These triggers include synecdoche, spatial relations, shape and size, verbal action, and emotion. The analysis also compares semantic expressions of the âeyeâ with other body parts, such as the internal organs. In addition to identifying common pathways of extension, the chapter claims âeyeâ extensions are rooted in physical characteristics shaped by culture.
