'dead' serves as a prompt or point of access to meaning construction
'dead' = 'tired' in this context
context would help to reforce this process
"He partied so hard yesterday. He came late to the meeting because he was dead."

The idea behind metaphorical projection is that meaningful structure from bodily experience gives rise to concrete concepts like the CONTAINER image schema, which in turn serves to structure more abstract conceptual domains like STATES. ]]> 2023-03-07 09:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/yselin1609/j9swol44267nzkcq/wish/2506621334 "4) Meaning construction is conceptualization" https://padlet.com/yselin1609/j9swol44267nzkcq/wish/2506631028 The concept of "Hitting the jackpot" and other phrases of gambling apply to discourse of relationships ("You're such a lucky man / woman (to be with her/him)").
Since the most direct meaning, related to gambling, does not apply, and the rest of the sentence creates a context of relationships, the conceptual meaning of "Hitting the jackpot" or "being lucky" is applied.
