This study aims at the study of metonymy phenomenon in English and Korean. Following Cruse (2004), we compare and examine six types of frequently used metonymy data in two languages. First, in the type of ‘container for contained’, ‘car’ and ‘room’ are frequently used in both languages. Inherent properties like name and age are usually omitted, but the extrinsic referents such as briefcase are not. And there exists a hierarchy of individual < team < nation, in which a nation stands for either an individual or a team, and a team for a person. Humans can be used for any actions of certain body parts. It has also been noticed that upper body parts such as ‘face’ or ‘mouth’ are commonly used for people. In addition, whereas Korean allows most examples to be used in the type of ‘people for institution’, English only allows some of the types. Finally, in relation with sensory verbs, ‘hear’ or ‘smell’ are freely used without nouns like ‘sound’ or ‘scent’ in English, whereas verb ‘taste’ is used without noun ‘taste’ in Korean. In most types of metonymy, both languages show similar patterns which should be regarded as ‘language universal’ and there exist subtle differences as ‘language specific’.
Abstract
This study aims at the study of metonymy phenomenon in English and Korean. Following Cruse (2004), we compare and examine six types of frequently used metonymy data in two languages. First, in the type of ‘container for contained’, ‘car’ and ‘room’ are frequently used in both languages. Inherent properties like name and age are usually omitted, but the extrinsic referents such as briefcase are not. And there exists a hierarchy of individual < team < nation, in which a nation stands for either an individual or a team, and a team for a person. Humans can be used for any actions of certain body parts. It has also been noticed that upper body parts such as ‘face’ or ‘mouth’ are commonly used for people. In addition, whereas Korean allows most examples to be used in the type of ‘people for institution’, English only allows some of the types. Finally, in relation with sensory verbs, ‘hear’ or ‘smell’ are freely used without nouns like ‘sound’ or ‘scent’ in English, whereas verb ‘taste’ is used without noun ‘taste’ in Korean. In most types of metonymy, both languages show similar patterns which should be regarded as ‘language universal’ and there exist subtle differences as ‘language specific’.
