George Lakoff on how he started his work on conceptual metaphor

[symbolt]

I know "Metaphors We Live By" very well, including the discussion of "Love is a Journey", and I was glad to learn where the idea came from (how about a name credit?). But what I was thinking about here was... how can you hit a dead-end street? :D I guess if it's a flying car, you can ;)

Smart stuff even all these years later.
