Preface
The Image Schema Day Workshop Series
For decades, the theory of image schemas has connected researchers from many scientific
disciplines under one central idea: the notion that the body’s sensorimotor experiences are
captured into abstract, mental patterns used for understanding and reasoning. Often referred to
as spatiotemporal relationships, image schemas construct the conceptual spaces for concepts
related to notions like Containment, Source_Path_Goal and Blockage.
These kinds of patterns are studied for many purposes. Psychologists look at how such
patterns are used in our thinking and behaviour. Linguists study how these patterns manifest in
our language and other expressions. Designers and artists look at how such patterns influence
design choices and our interpretations of particular constellations. Formal image schema
research, for instance in AI and robotics, looks instead at how such patterns can be used to
solve symbol grounding problems between formal representations and real-world objects.
It is both a strength and a weakness that image schemas are studied from so many different
directions. On the one hand, it showcases and underlines the relevance and importance of this
theoretical framework and provides a substantial research foundation as these patterns are
investigated with varying methodologies. On the other hand, it has led to a terminological
abundance and various differences in viewpoints, which can make it harder to reach mutual
goals and engage in collaborative efforts. To rectify this situation, The Image Schema Day (ISD)
workshop series was introduced to provide a cross-disciplinary platform for researchers with
different areas of expertise to facilitate communication, mutual respect and understanding for
different viewpoints, and to encourage joint research endeavours.
Due to its repeated success, the workshops in this series have been held already five times
prior to Jönköping. Each time hosted by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, either as
an event by invitation, or as a scientific workshop with paper submissions and anonymous
peer review. The past two editions of ISD were held as part of the joint workshop conference
TriCoLore: Creativity, Cognition and Computation (see https://tricolore.inf.unibz.it).
The Sixth Image Schema Day (ISD6)
After having been a yearly workshop series, the Sixth Image Schema Day was forced to be
postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between 24–25th of March 2022 it was once again
possible to physically gather and The Sixth Image Schema Day was held in the beautiful 1850’s
Villa Mariedal, Jönköping University’s conference venue.
The workshop got 17 submissions, of which three abstracts were accepted for presentation
at the conference and nine submissions were accepted for publication in the proceedings,
summarised and listed below.
For the abstract presentations, Wylecioł presented a comparative analysis on the [GO TO +
preposition] construal from a multi-lingual perspective. Baur presented work on how a research
through design approach can be guided by use of physical artefacts based on image schemas.
Stufano Melone presented an analysis on how architectural choices often are driven by image
schema-based spatial reasoning.
The papers in this volume, span the full range of image schema investigations with re-
search ranging from the interpretation of visuo-linguistic manifestations to research on formal
representation and applications. Within this range, Huber presented work on how air traffic
controllers’ language and visualisations are heavily based on image-schematic metaphors. Thier-
ing presented joint work with Mittleberg on a study looking at how the impossible situations
found in the computer game ‘Antichamber’ are directly connected to image-schematic notions.
Hurtienne’s paper, presented by Baur, introduced the audience to the ISCAT database, an open
source dictionary for image-schematic notions used in inferface design.
Bourou presented formal work on how Hasse diagrams can be analysed using image-schematic
reasoning for sense-making. Hedblom presented a first view of the Diagrammatic Image Schema
Language DISL as a more structured method to be used to visualise image-schematic mani-
festations in either language or conceptualisations. Pomarlan and Righetti presented formal
robotics research of how object properties should be functional descriptions based on what their
involved image schemas allow for. Tsiogkas presented research on how an integration of image
schemas could help guide robotic actions in an industrial setting. Finally, Dhanabalachandran’s
research, presented by Hedblom, contains preliminary work on how it is possible to use image
schemas in robotic action descriptions for the case of stacking objects.
