ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to explore the aspects of the meaning extension of the Taste-terms. The basic meaning of Taste-terms are extended by subjectivity and impressive judgement of the subject when feeling a taste. First, Taste-terms '달다(sweet)' and '쓰다(bitter)' are extended to whole taste of the food with meaning of the delicious or tasteless. Secondly, the taste-terms make and communicate the new meaning pleasant or unpleasant by transmitted to other sense. Finally, the taste-terms communicate the emotion that the subject feels mentally in situation surrounded the subject by transmitted to an act or a situation. This paper is divided up into four chapters. In chapter 1, I present accounts of the aim and the scope of this paper. In chapter 2, I explore the aspects of the meaning extension of the Taste-terms. In chapter 3, I analyze and describe the meaning of these expressions by metaphor and metonymy on the basis of experientialism of cognitive linguistics. In chapter 4, I summarize the discussion and presented the aspects of meaning extension of the Taste-terms with the diagram.
