초록
Little attention has been paid to metonymy in cultural studies of emotion because it is generally conceived of as showing only limited aspects of emotion conceptualization and is not thought to show substantial cultural differences. The purpose of this research is to show metonymy can be a resource for studying universality and variation of emotion conceptualization, specifically by analyzing metonymy of heartache in English and Korean. By examining linguistic expressions of heartache and its conceptual extensions, it is revealed that the frame of HEARTACHE has several components. This frame reflects universal conceptualization of sadness in that the components of the frame correspond to the stages of the universal cognitive model of sadness. By analyzing the use of the metonymy of heartache based on corpora, it is found that Korean and English highlight the components of the frame to different degrees: Korean highlights the feeling component and the (inward) response component more than English does; English highlights the causing component and the (outward) response component more than Korean does; English shows a more balanced distribution of attention to the components. By exploiting the difference in cognitive style and emotion expression between East and West, an explanation to these differences was attempted.
Abstract
Little attention has been paid to metonymy in cultural studies of emotion because it is generally conceived of as showing only limited aspects of emotion conceptualization and is not thought to show substantial cultural differences. The purpose of this research is to show metonymy can be a resource for studying universality and variation of emotion conceptualization, specifically by analyzing metonymy of heartache in English and Korean. By examining linguistic expressions of heartache and its conceptual extensions, it is revealed that the frame of HEARTACHE has several components. This frame reflects universal conceptualization of sadness in that the components of the frame correspond to the stages of the universal cognitive model of sadness. By analyzing the use of the metonymy of heartache based on corpora, it is found that Korean and English highlight the components of the frame to different degrees: Korean highlights the feeling component and the (inward) response component more than English does; English highlights the causing component and the (outward) response component more than Korean does; English shows a more balanced distribution of attention to the components. By exploiting the difference in cognitive style and emotion expression between East and West, an explanation to these differences was attempted.
