It is concluded that the author’s proposal is a combination of Deane’s 2005 multimodal spatial representations and 2017 Kövecses’s model, in which there is an emphasis that treating the spatial configurations of a spatial marker requires different frames and when the marker denotes a non-spatial sense, there exists an activation of a metaphor layered from its frame in certain context with a specific communicative purpose to the domain of which the frame is a part and finally the activation will reach the image schema that supports the frame.}, number={1}, journal={VNU Journal of Foreign Studies}, author={Long, Do Tuan and Huyen Trang, Vu Thi}, year={2020}, month={Mar.} }
