ABSTRACT

The Specificity of the Conceptual Metaphors – Focusing on the Analysis of Korean ‘Sa-Lang(LOVE)’ in late 19th and early 20th centuries corpus. Korean Semantics, 57. In this study, we analyzed the conceptual metaphor of 'LOVE' in the corpus of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and confirmed the specificity of the conceptual metaphor. In this period, 'LOVE' shows much lower use of metaphors than non-metaphors. In addition, the frequency and type of metaphor used vary from genre to genre. In particular, there are the difference of conceptual metaphor between the Christian literature and Old novel. The metaphorical types which are seen as the same in all respects are also different in detail, and through these examples, we can confirm that the conceptual metaphor is made through cultural specificity.
