초록
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between thinking about motion through space and thinking about time and to find psychological ramifications in English and Korean. Linguists have argued that two different movement perspectives are implicit in English and Korean temporal expressions: the ego-moving and time- moving metaphors. The results of the experiment indicate that Koreans use primed motional information to think about time. They provide evidence that Korean’s thinking about time is closely linked to their thinking about motion through space. It shows the effect of thinking about motion on the understanding of time in Korean other than English. The results of the experiment also indicate that Koreans might generally prefer time-moving consistent interpretations of ambiguous temporal sentences in Korean. This study suggests that the preference is attributable to the higher familiarity in everyday language because Koreans preferred time-moving consistent interpretations in Korean but not in English and according to McGlone & Harding (1998) and Boroditsky & Ramscar (2002), Americans also preferred time-moving consistent interpretations of ambiguous temporal sentences in English. Taken together, this paper supports the claim that abstract conceptual domains of time are understood through metaphorical connections from more experience-based, concrete conceptual domains of motion through space.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between thinking about motion through space and thinking about time and to find psychological ramifications in English and Korean. Linguists have argued that two different movement perspectives are implicit in English and Korean temporal expressions: the ego-moving and time- moving metaphors. The results of the experiment indicate that Koreans use primed motional information to think about time. They provide evidence that Korean’s thinking about time is closely linked to their thinking about motion through space. It shows the effect of thinking about motion on the understanding of time in Korean other than English. The results of the experiment also indicate that Koreans might generally prefer time-moving consistent interpretations of ambiguous temporal sentences in Korean. This study suggests that the preference is attributable to the higher familiarity in everyday language because Koreans preferred time-moving consistent interpretations in Korean but not in English and according to McGlone & Harding (1998) and Boroditsky & Ramscar (2002), Americans also preferred time-moving consistent interpretations of ambiguous temporal sentences in English. Taken together, this paper supports the claim that abstract conceptual domains of time are understood through metaphorical connections from more experience-based, concrete conceptual domains of motion through space.
