초록
Time is definitely one of the most abstract concepts. For this reason, time is usually expressed metaphorically. However, there exists inconsistency in the conceptualization of time in English and Korean. The aim of this paper is to explicate how English speakers and Korean speakers conceptualize the passage of time as a motion event in two different ways: MOVING TIME and MOVING EGO. The findings are as follows: English allows the reversal of MOVING TIME and MOVING EGO in many situations. MOVING EGO is mostly found in the scheduled situations, pleasant-time situations, and the situations expected with enthusiasm. In contrast, the MOVING EGO is not possible in an unexpected or unrecognizable time, a dreadful time, and an uncontrollable time. In Korean, MOVING TIME is dominant, whereas MOVING EGO is rarely found with much restriction. MOVING EGO is possible in the cases of describing delightful, enthusiastically expected future events.
