The purpose of this study is to examine motivation aspects between meaning and form of the Korean Sign Language. This study is aimed at KSL as one of the languages, and motivation pattern shown in Korean Sign Language examine through the concept of iconicity and Conceptual Metaphors. The form and meaning of the language is neither arbitrary nor predictable but rather motivated. Iconicity is not an objective relationship between our mental models of image and referent. for example, KSL so(‘bull’) whose form resembles the shape of a prototypical elephant, is purely iconic. Its form directly resembles its meaning. This process involves a substantial amount of conceptual work, including image selection, conceptual mapping, and schematization of items to fit the sign. The iconicity sign language is composed of form-based iconicity KSL and motion-based icionicity KSL. There is more than just iconicity, however, in signs such as taehwa(‘conversation’), whose form resembles those sending and receiving the ball. This use of a concrete image to describe an abstract concept is an instance of metaphor, and taehwa is thus metaphorical as well as iconic. The metaphorical sign language has three types; structural metaphor-based KSL, ontological metaphor based KSL, orientational metaphor based KSL. Sing Language are partially motivated by our embodied experiences common to all human being and partially by our experiences in particular cultures and societies.
