This paper deals with the polysemy of the motion verbs go and come from the cognitive perspective. They are basically deictic and show directionality in their nature. First of all, we discuss the basic sense of go and come. We further investigate the metaphorical meaning extension of the motion verbs from the domain of spatial motion to the domain of time, perspective, and change of state. We argue that extensions are basically from the spatial domain to the non-spatial domains and from more concrete domains to more abstract domains by showing that the meanings of the motion verbs are extended to metaphorical extensions such as time, perspective and change of state. Finally we propose the semantic network of the polysemous motion verbs. The argument is that the various meanings associated with polysemous words are coherently related to each other in networks of meaning, each with a central prototype and peripheral senses linked to the prototype.
