This paper deals with the question of whether the conceptual structures: ‘image schema’, ‘domain’, ‘frame’ and ‘mental space’ constitute a taxonomy with ‘image schema’ at the top (as the highly schematic item) and ‘mental space’ at the bottom (as the highly specific one) or if they rather defy such classification creating an intertwining network of constructs. It is shown here that depending on contents: (i) ‘domain’, ‘frame’ and ‘mental space’ may fulfil the restrictions of such taxonomy, (ii) only ‘two of them may meet the restrictions, (iii) ‘domain’, ‘frame’ and ‘mental space’ may present the same level of schematicity/specificity, (iv) only two of them may present such equal level. It is argued for a dual nature of the ‘image schema’ which as autonomous and separate structures at the same time, are capable of being incorporated in every domain, frame and mental space as their background, rather than a construct containing them. This theoretical issue is discussed in relation to the concept SUCCESS and processes of mental integration involving image schemas like OBJECT, CONTAINER, PATH, LINK, PART-WHOLE.
