초록
This study compares English and Korean’s exploitations of the heart in association with emotion and thought. While the heart as a container of emotion has generally been acknowledged across languages, the conceptualization of the heart associated with thought is regarded as language-specific and not holding in English. Examining the corpus data of English and Korean constructions, this research finds that this is an overly simplified conclusion and that each language uses the heart in describing both emotion and thought, to a greater degree in the former and to a lesser degree in the latter. The two languages differ in preferred conceptualizations of the heart associated with thought: Korean conceptualizes the heart as a container of thought and English conceives of the heart as a thinking site. The two languages are common in that they utilize the heart in describing intuitive thoughts and secrets, though in different patterns and to different degrees:Among thoughts contained in Korean speakers’ hearts, hidden thoughts were the most prominent and intuitive ideas were found the most among thoughts in English speakers’ hearts. The Confucian culture of valuing smooth human relationships by means of not revealing oneself and the Western culture of stressing rational reasoning and empirical evidence in knowledge seem to be reflected in Korean hidden thought constructions and English intuitive thought constructions, respectively.
Abstract
This study compares English and Korean’s exploitations of the heart in association with emotion and thought. While the heart as a container of emotion has generally been acknowledged across languages, the conceptualization of the heart associated with thought is regarded as language-specific and not holding in English. Examining the corpus data of English and Korean constructions, this research finds that this is an overly simplified conclusion and that each language uses the heart in describing both emotion and thought, to a greater degree in the former and to a lesser degree in the latter. The two languages differ in preferred conceptualizations of the heart associated with thought: Korean conceptualizes the heart as a container of thought and English conceives of the heart as a thinking site. The two languages are common in that they utilize the heart in describing intuitive thoughts and secrets, though in different patterns and to different degrees:Among thoughts contained in Korean speakers’ hearts, hidden thoughts were the most prominent and intuitive ideas were found the most among thoughts in English speakers’ hearts. The Confucian culture of valuing smooth human relationships by means of not revealing oneself and the Western culture of stressing rational reasoning and empirical evidence in knowledge seem to be reflected in Korean hidden thought constructions and English intuitive thought constructions, respectively.
