ABSTRACT

A door is a large physical tool that is extremely common in daily life and is closely related to human life experience. In the process of perceiving the door, people have also created a series of metaphors related to the door. For example, a door is the entrance to a house, which can indicate the beginning of everything; a door is a household, and a household is a family, and a door can be a symbol of home. This paper selects the Korean-Chinese lexical system of "门" and "문" as the object of study, and adopts the conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy theory of cognitive linguistics, and adopts a combination of corpus induction, description and interpretation, quantitative and qualitative methods, and comparative analysis. The study is conducted to compare the commonalities and differences in the semantic expansion process of the words "门" and "문". It is hoped that this study will provide a superficial example to support cognitive comparative linguistics and provide some insights for language teaching in Korea and China.
