For the speech act verbs “fureru” in Japanese and “ti2” in Chinese, the function of speaking is derived from the meaning of hand act under the action of metaphor. However, this semantic development is based on different image schemas. “Fureru” is based on “far to near” schema, while “ti2” is based on “low to high” schema, container schema, and focus schema. There also exist similar semantic development paths in English. This study is designed to provide an example for the research of semantic development based on the same cognitive mechanism and different image schemas, thus deepening the understanding of semantic development rules about the verbs of hand act.
