Abstract
The paper investigates the evocation of the figurative meanings of English phrasal verbs of the form: component verb come + component particle up when they are employed in resultative constructions. Four instances of come up are discussed. It is suggested that the figurative meanings of come up are rooted to conceptual metaphors.
Keywords
English phrasal verbs; figuration; construction grammar; cognitive grammar; resultatives; conceptual autonomy-dependence relation; conceptual metaphor
