If these metaphors are shaped by our sensorimotor systems, shouldn't we expect them to be similar across all cultures (and languages) ? Are they, in fact, similar across all cultures ? I am not a linguist or an anthropologist, so I can't really answer that question. I can identify a few metaphors that are different in Russian, but maybe those are outliers.
Good question. See here.
