Bowls, Jars, and other Containers






 

I am in the mood of making Jars,
Jar = Container




What is a container?







A containment metaphor is an ontological metaphor in which some concept is represented as:
          having an inside and outside, 
 and
capable of holding something else.



cONTAINER IS AN ONTOLOGICAL METAPHOR
"Ontological Metaphors are metaphors that give shape to abstract concepts and even contribute to the structure of Primary Metaphors.  CONTAINER is one of those metaphors."
