초록
The purpose of this study is to compare the linguistic construals of relative spatial locations between objects between Chinese and Korean native speakers to find out whether those construals are language-universal, language-specific, or individual differences. In order to achieve these goals, an empirical study has been conducted with picture-based instruments, using the participants of Chinese and Korean native speakers. The findings are as follows: First, when the Ground does not bear its inherent orientation, the perspective is mostly located on the speaker in both groups, whereas when the Ground bears its inherent orientation, the perspective is mostly located on the Ground in both groups. Second, whether the perspective is located on the speaker or on the Ground, a higher percentage of the Korean speakers neutralized the distinction between left and right than did the Chinese group. Finally, when the Ground has its inherent orientation, an alternative construal is available, based on either a speaker-based or Ground-based perspective.
