Abstract

The article, "A Dive into Metaphor and Meaning Extension through Frame Semantics" delves into the intricate relationship between language, metaphor, and meaning extension through the lens of frame semantics. The author begins by introducing the concept of frame semantics, emphasizing its role in shaping our understanding of words beyond literal definitions. The metaphor "TIME IS MONEY" serves as a central example, illustrating how abstract ideas, like time, are framed using more concrete concepts. Metaphors are highlighted as cognitive tools, acting as bridges between the abstract and the tangible. The article skillfully explores how metaphors, such as "TIME IS MONEY," facilitate the extension of meaning, enabling varied expressions and perspectives on the concept of time.
