It draws on work in metaphor, especially as developed in Lakoff and Johnson's Metaphors We Live By and Lakoff's Women, Fire and Dangerous Things... It is very helpful in explaining both prototypical and other meanings, including how particles/prepositions contribute to the meanings of phrasal/prepositional verbs.
