The paper tried to confirm the validity of the view that cognitive linguists and cognitive psychologists should think about metaphors and their relations to thought as cognitive webs that extend beyond individual minds and are spread out into the cultural world, and of the view of Kövecses(2000) similar to that of Gibbs(1997) by examining the conceptual love metaphors in cultural contexts. Korean popular songs as well as English popular songs conceptualize ‘love’ as ‘nutrient’, ‘physical closeness’, ‘the fluid in a container’, ‘fire’, ‘the object in nature’, ‘magic’, ‘rapture’ etc. in the same manner, but in broader cultural contexts, the differences between the two languages can be seen in the range and emphasis of love metaphors. English popular songs have ‘light', ‘rapture', ‘beautiful experience', ‘game', ‘possession’, while Korean ones ‘creature’, ‘thing’, ‘season' as source domains of love concept respectively. English popular songs have the strong tendencies highlighting the positive aspects of love, while Korean ones highlighting the negative ones. The paper gave specific reasons for this in the perspective of cultural contexts. Love metaphors based on everyday cultural life show us how emotions like love reflect the history of a certain culture. The argument of the paper focusing on the love metaphors in the perspective of cultural contexts can naturally be linked with the study of the relation between language and thought. As a consequence, the paper can be the part of the academic efforts revealing the correlations between ‘language, thought, and culture'.
Abstract
The paper tried to confirm the validity of the view that cognitive linguists and cognitive psychologists should think about metaphors and their relations to thought as cognitive webs that extend beyond individual minds and are spread out into the cultural world, and of the view of Kövecses(2000) similar to that of Gibbs(1997) by examining the conceptual love metaphors in cultural contexts. Korean popular songs as well as English popular songs conceptualize ‘love’ as ‘nutrient’, ‘physical closeness’, ‘the fluid in a container’, ‘fire’, ‘the object in nature’, ‘magic’, ‘rapture’ etc. in the same manner, but in broader cultural contexts, the differences between the two languages can be seen in the range and emphasis of love metaphors. English popular songs have ‘light', ‘rapture', ‘beautiful experience', ‘game', ‘possession’, while Korean ones ‘creature’, ‘thing’, ‘season' as source domains of love concept respectively. English popular songs have the strong tendencies highlighting the positive aspects of love, while Korean ones highlighting the negative ones. The paper gave specific reasons for this in the perspective of cultural contexts. Love metaphors based on everyday cultural life show us how emotions like love reflect the history of a certain culture. The argument of the paper focusing on the love metaphors in the perspective of cultural contexts can naturally be linked with the study of the relation between language and thought. As a consequence, the paper can be the part of the academic efforts revealing the correlations between ‘language, thought, and culture'.
