ABSTRACT

Revolving around the “목” and “颈、项、脖” which had been frequently used to describe "neck" in Korean and Chinese linguistics, this study aimed at analyzing he semantic image reflected by their single-morpheme words and compound words. Furthermore, based on the theories of contrastive and cognitive linguistics, this study analyzed the meaning of “목” and “颈、项、脖” in the dictionary from the perspective of structural form and functional form respectively. Among which, structural form is the synthesis of shape, structure and position of face in human body; functional form includes the use function, semantic function and grammaticalization. Through this comparative research, this study discussed the origin, process and future direction of body words referring to "neck" in Korean and Chinese linguistics, and compared their similarities and differences in hopes of providing insight into the field of Korean-Chinese language education, Korean-Chinese body word teaching, and Korean-Chinese translation.
