ABSTRACT

Shin Sun-kyung. 2006. Metaphor: A way of persuasion. Korean Semantics 20. The purpose of this paper is to examine how Metaphors are produced, accepted and reproduced in the situations of persuasion. In most cases, previous researches concentrated on the relation between objects and expression or original concepts and related concepts in metaphor. However, metaphor is not limited to literary expression but extended to communication and thinking in everyday life. This paper concerns the pragmatic aspects of metaphors and stipulates the function of metaphors in everyday communications. This paper consists of three parts. At frist, we represent the various cases of metaphors using as a mean of persuasion. Second, we analyse the process of producing metaphor not only in the veiw point of the participants of communication but also in the common field of experience and topos shared by communication participants. third, we examine the process of accepting, denying and, reproducing metaphors.
