한국어와 중국어의 미용 관련 개념적 은유 대조 연구

초록

This study aims to catalogue the similarities and differences found in the conceptual metaphors in the Korean and Chinese languages in the sphere of beauty care. The source domains for the analysis categorized in terms of war, food, plants, architecture, movement, organic beings, traffic signs, clothing and business are found in common in both languages, as are specific linguistic expressions and target domains. Reasons for these commonalities can be found in cultural universality as well as intercultural similarities. However, there are differences in specific usage and sub-conceptualization especially in the metaphorical categories of war, food, architecture and clothing, which can be accounted for by socio-cultural differences between Korea and China. More specifically, the war metaphor shows different perceptions of war between the two language-users, and the differences in the metaphors of plants, architecture and clothing reflect the cultural differences in colors applied in makeup as target domain.
