Supplementary #IRLScholarGeorgeLakoff "Consider Brexit, which used the metaphor of 'entering' and 'leaving' the EU. There is a universal metaphor that states are locations in space: you can enter a state, be deep in some state, and come out that state. If you enter a café and then leave the café , you will be in the same location as before you entered. But that need not be true of states of being. But that was the metaphor used with Brexit; Britons believed that after leaving the EU, things would be as before when the entered the EU. They were wrong. Things changed radically while they were in the EU." https://george-lakoff.com/2016/07/23/understanding-trump-2/ #TheoryLinguisticsConceptualMetaphorCMT
