AB - This paper is aimed at examining a phenomenon that the postpositional particle ege (에게) ― which is mainly combined with animate nouns ― is exceptionally combined with inanimate nouns and at figuring out the reasons why the postpositional particle ege can be combined with inanimate nouns. It was analyzed that the reason why the postpositional particle ege is combined with inanimate nouns is largely attributed to two mechanisms: ‘metonymy’ and ‘metaphor’. The case of analyzing ‘metonymy’ could be divided into two cases: One is the case of referring to an adjacent animate noun through an inanimate noun, and the other is the case in which human members belonging to the group noun, which are the inanimate noun, are recognized. Through this metonymic expression, it seems that inanimate nouns and the postpositional particle ege can be combined. On the other hand, the case analyzed as a ‘metaphor’ could be divided into two conditions. One is a case that an inanimate noun is personified and recognized as an animate noun, and the other case is that an animal noun in a relatively l ower hierarchy of a n imacy t han a h uman n oun is in terpreted as an agent in a sentence. It seems that the expression mechanism of this metaphor works, and the postpositional particle ege is combined with inanimate nouns or animal nouns.
