Examples in which choice of language influences thought:
- whether or not you are in a container is discrete. "Take the example of being “in love” with someone. This metaphor uses container logic. I always get a kick out of literally imagining a metaphor. When I visualize the “in love” metaphor, I imagine that falling “in love” is like someone stepping into a box that is labeled love. When you are in love, you are in the box; when you are not in love anymore, you are no longer in the box. It’s a simple metaphor, but very powerful, since it compels you to think of love as an on-off switch" -- http://philosophyandpsychology.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/examples-of-the-pervasive-container-metaphor/
