Even in the absence of verbal language, meaning and nonverbal communication still remain. For abstract domains such as music, poetry and visual arts, perceivers often have a strong intuition about the particular message of individual pieces. One theory for this is the embodied nature of semantics as well as repeated exposure to cultural conventions. It is suggested that embodiment takes the form of mental patterns called image schemas. They are spatiotemporal relationships between objects and their environment. Intrinsically meaningful, they often feature as a structural skeleton for conceptual metaphors, where information from one domain is transferred onto another. These information skeletons are never directly exposed, and instead hidden in between the lines. With the purpose of exposing their presence, we present a series of examples of conventional metaphors and popular cultural references where the image-schematic skeleton is violated. Our brief analysis demonstrates that by manipulating this embodied skeleton, previously non-expressed meaning is revealed.
