AB - The main purpose of this research is to explore the conceptualization process of Korean “boundary” expressions using a cognitive semantics approach.
In Chapter 2, I examine the locations and markers of “boundary.” The extracted linguistic examples from the KAIST Corpus and the Sejong Corpus are divided into the two different types: “the boundary of A” and “the boundary between A and B.” It is shown that boundary markers could be tangible objects such as “fence” or “tree” and abstract concepts like “time” or “event” as well.
In Chapter 3, I explicate the existing patterns of “boundary” by searching such expressions as “X-verb the boundary” or “The boundary is X-verb.” The results were classified into the 4 different types: a boundary to be set, a boundary that exists, a boundary that changes, and a boundary to be rejected. Specific examples are given and discussed for each type.
In the final chapter, metaphorical expressions are investigated in regard to the concept of “boundary” itself. Conceptual metaphors of a “boundary” in the Korean language seem to appear in different patterns, as follows: [a boundary is a concrete object], which can be built, broken, established, shaken, and smashed; [a boundary is a line], which can be pictured and erased; [a boundary is a place], which can be traversed and invaded; [a boundary is a subject of experience], which can be felt and experienced.
This paper is one of cognitive semantics studies based on the everyday Korean language. Its significance lies in the fact that the conceptualization process of the “boundary” expressions were examined using the corpus data. I hope this research will contribute to the contemporary humanistic approaches that deal with the boundary phenomenon.
