8 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have shown that the isomorphism of image schemata bears implications with respect to lexicography and translation. By virtue of their cultural independence image schemata may be evaluated multilingually. By accounting for translational equivalents, this contrastive perspective may enable the verification of universal categories of human experience. We may empirically represent the lexical domain by proceeding from the theoretical hypothesis that the image-schematic core meanings involved in the speakers' grammatical meta-knowledge structure the whole lexicon. This may be further evaluated from a typological perspective. Polysemous predications, such as while which may express both the lexically autonomous concept and the grammatically dependent relational concept, are a case in point.</Paragraph>
