Research on image schemas in language and cognition (containment, path, blockage, etc.) is largely based on de-contextualized linguistic expressions. This results in a view of image schemas as somehow detached from experience, constituting source domains for fixed conceptual projections from the concrete to the abstract. By showcasing creative examples of the poetics of containment throughout the long diachrony of Greek poetry, this article proposes that image schemas reflect the early attentional preferences of the human mind. These central features of image schemas are further selected for their suitability to create ad-hoc, non-perceptual meanings. Templates for conceptual integration involving image schemas also offer coherent patterns of variation, which opportunistically exploit arising connections with culture, context, and goals. Understanding the role of image schemas in meaning construction and verbal art requires the study of both the entrenched patterns and the know-how associated to their usage.

重新思考图像模式：希腊诗歌中的包容与情感

对语言和认知中的图像模式（包含，路径，障碍等）的研究主要基于去上下文化的语言表达。这导致图像方案从经验中脱离出来，构成了从具体到抽象的固定概念投影的源域。通过在整个希腊诗歌的历时历程中展示出遏制诗学的创造性实例，本文提出图像图式反映了人类思想的早期注意偏好。进一步选择了图像模式的这些主要特征，以适合于创建即席的，非感知的含义。用于涉及图像模式的概念整合的模板还提供了连贯的变化模式，这些变化模式是机会性地利用了与文化，上下文和目标的联系。
