Relationships between metaphor and thought extends beyond a person’s mind into the cultural world the person lives within.
 

“The bodily experience that form the source domains for conceptual metaphors are themselves complex social and cultural constructions.”  (p. 155)
 

“Some of the debates over whether metaphor is constitutive of cultural models or whether metaphor only reflects non-metaphorical cultural models tend to disappear if we embrace the possibility that all cognition is embodied in cultural situations." 

“Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature.” (p. 3)
 

“Conceptual metaphor is one of our central intellectual tools.”
 

“The principle instrument of abstract reason”
 

“The means by which the inferential structures of concrete domains are employed in abstract domains”

“metonymy is a ‘stands-for’ relationship” (p. 97)
 

‘There are good reasons to think of metonymy as just as much of a cultural as a cognitive phenomenon.’ (p. 106)
 

“Many conceptual metaphors are motivated by bodily correlations in experience.” (p. 118)
 

“The assumption in recent neuroscientific studies is that when we understand abstract concepts metaphorically, two groups of neurons in the brain are activated at the same time” (p. 120)
 

“A conceptual metaphor is a set of correspondences between a source domain and a target domain, where metaphoric linguistic expressions commonly make the conceptual metaphor manifest.” (p. 123)
 

In doing so, some aspects of the source domain are ‘utilized’  in the metaphor’s mappings to ‘highlight’ corresponding aspects of the target domain. (p. 124)
 

Generic-level conceptual metaphors are instantiated in culture-specific ways (p. 168 – I think Chase means p. 168, but this must be a paraphrase.)
