ABSTRACT

Cognitive linguistic research shows that polysemy is the process of extending from the central meaning of a word to other meanings through human cognitive means, and is the result of human cognitive categories and conceptualization. Polysemy is the intersection between multiple categories. The exploration of polysemy is to explain the projective relationship between different categories represented by the same word. The original meaning of wall refers to the peripheral part of a building made of bricks, stones, concrete and other materials. It is used to separate spaces, protect from wind and rain, and maintain heat and insulation. In addition to its original meaning, wall has derived a series of extended meanings. It can represent the parts of some objects that act like walls, such as well walls, boiler walls, and cell walls. It can also be used to refer to obstacles or barriers at an abstract level. In addition, wall can refer to upright rocks like walls, such as cliffs. This study uses the categorization, image schema, metaphor and metonymy theories in the field of cognitive linguistics as the theoretical basis to conduct a comparative analysis of the metaphor and metonymy phenomena of "墻/壁" and "담/벽" in the process of word meaning expansion.  in order to provide simple example support for cognitive contrastive linguistics and Korean-Chinese language teaching research.
