ABSTRACT

Yoshimoto Hajime. 2006. A Cognitive Analysis of Metaphors for Eyesight in Korean. Korean Semantics, 20. This thesis analyzes metaphors on eyesight in Korean. As a result, the followings are revealed: Firstly, an eyesight is a line that connects a viewpoint with an object viewed. Secondly, an eyesight is thought of as having the properties of power, temperature, solidity, sharpness, and so on. These properties reflect either the feeling of an agent who gives out an eyesight or the cognition of an agent who receives and observes an eyesight. Thirdly, an eyesight is an object that moves from a viewpoint to an object viewed. In this case, an eyesight is regarded as a motion of other parts than eyes, a object that is attracted by a certain existence, a object that is taken away or thrown away, a sharp object which we stab or stick to, and a object such as liquid, vapor or light. Fourthly, an eyesight is an object that moves from an object to another object. Interesting is the case in which an eyesight is thought of as a motion of other body-parts than eyes including tongue motion, hand motion, and leg motion. Fifthly, various actions of plural eyesights are observed. Included are the case in which two eyesights are faced, the case in which two eyesights miss each other or an eyesight avoids another eyesight, the case in which a person accepts one’s eyesight, the case in which a person pushes out or bounds another eyesight, or the case in which a person looks at the same place as another person’s eyesight.
