Summary

In this final chapter, I return to the five major issues that were discussed in the book. (1) The abstract understood figuratively, the concrete understood literally, but the concrete understood figuratively? (2) Direct or indirect emergence? (3) Domains, schemas, frames or spaces? (4) Conceptual or contextual? (5) Offline or online? These are deliberately provocative titles that express extreme and simplifying alternative views as regards CMT. It will become clear, and I hope the relevant chapters make this evident, that I do not subscribe to any such alternative views by themselves. Finally, I provide a brief comparison of the emerging extended CMT with kindred approaches, especially the dynamic systems view of metaphor.
