ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to reveal semantic characteristics of ‘anger’ in the Korean culture perspective of cognitive linguistics and contrastive view. The results are as follows: First, there are a lot of commonalities in physiological metonymy among seven cultures, due to bodily experience, while there are also some peculiarities, due to socio-cultural contexts. Korean has the greatest number of body parts related to the responses to ‘anger’, and the most precise physiological responses. Second, there exist both commonalities and peculiarities in the source domains of conceptual metaphors of ‘anger’ in 9 cultures. This is due to the difference of classification standards and the perspectives of researchers as well as a variety of manners of conceptualization. Korean has the greatest variety of source domains. Third, the cognitive models of the scenario of prototypical ‘anger’ in 7 cultures are composed of 5 levels, and their commonness is wide, with cultural peculiarities appearing in the fifth level. Korean culture shows a typical cognitive model of this scenario.
