Metaphor and metonymy are two mecanisms of basic conceptualization that justify the notional uses the verb motion go out as semantically derived from its corresponding prototypical uses. In this paper we will demonstrate that the abstract structures involving this verb can be explained by the projection of three basic image schemas: the path schema, the container schema and the whole-part schema (with its two metonymical directions: whole by part and part by whole). However, we will study others subsidiary image schemas of container and path metaphors: the force image schema, the process image schema, the fullempty image schema and the excess image schema. The examples were drawn from two oral corpora-Corpus oral de la variedad juvenil universitaria del español hablado en Alicante (COVJA) y Alicante, Corpus del español (ALCORE)-, where I have noticed a frequent use of these structures; and from one corpus written-CREA-, to which I have resorted in order to get a broaden database.

In this paper, we will try to offer an analysis of multimodal representations in a sample of Riojan wine labels. Basic formal operation such as cueing has allowed us to present metonymic and metaphoric relations existing between brand names, their origins, Riojan culture as well as viticultural aspects. We present four models of pictorial metaphors and a model of blended space. The role of these conceptual mappings in meaning derivation is relevant in multimodal genre as well as in the communicative functions of wine labels. In this study we have considered ontological metonymies (Kövecses & Radden, 1998), formal and content cognitive operations (Ruiz de Mendoza, 2001, 2011) as well as multimodal representations (Forceville, 2005, 2009).
