JezičNA/mentalna rekonstrukcija eu prostora: nove konceptualne metafore

2. 
   EU=OSOBA (OSOBA, TIJELO, DIJELOVI TIJELA)
   

Mnoge metafore koje se koriste u političkom govoru predstavljaju EU kao osobu koja ima tijelo, srce, lice, bolesti i sl. Naime, ljudsko tijelo se vrlo često koristi kao izvorna domena u imenovanju novih pojava u stvarnosti, a što potvrđuju i istraživanja kognitivnih lingvista poput M. Johnson (1987), G. Lakoffa (1989) i dr.

• 
  The finance minister, openly favours the notion of a multi-track Europe embraced by John Major and both proffer the image of five or six concentric circles based around a hard core of countries in an eventual monetary union and comprising new members like Austria as well as Germany, France and the Benelux.

Granice EU nisu fiksne i ostavljaju 'otvorena vrata' za sve one koji slijede određena pravila ponašanja.

Upravo stoga se predlaže koncept tzv. multi-speed integration ili differentiated integration.
