AB - This paper investigates the metaphorical usage of expressions related to driving in Korean and English, aiming to explore the universality and relativity of these metaphors. Common metaphors, such as [PROGRESS IS FORWARD MOTION], [STATES ARE LOCATIONS], and [CHANGES ARE MOVEMENTS], are identified in both languages, reflecting shared human experiences as drivers. However, unique metaphorical expressions emerge in each language.
In Korean driving-related expressions, metaphors are formed by combining Chinese characters, such as '급(sudden)', with other characters to create derived words like '급가속(sudden acceleration)' and '급정거(sudden stop)'. Furthermore, expressions related to '깜빡이(turn signal)' and '속도위반(speeding violations)' are found exclusively in Korean, likely influenced by social and cultural factors.
Conversely, English features the metaphorical usage of 'rearview mirror,' possibly due to the frequent use of mirror-related metaphors in the English language. Moreover, expressions related to 'seats,' 'wheels,' and 'steering wheels' are employed more metaphorically in English compared to Korean. This distinction could be attributed to Korean focusing on the 'act' of entering and exiting a vehicle, while English emphasizes the driver as the primary agent of movement.
By shedding light on these language-specific metaphors, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how cultural and linguistic factors influence metaphorical expressions in the context of driving.
