This paper undertakes a study of animal metaphors in English and Korean with a view to investigating the nature of animal metaphors and finding out their connotations in each language by a cross-cultual comparison of those metaphors. The animal metaphors show different connotations for men and women in English: for women, in general, a negative connotation but for men both positive and negative connotations. In contrast, the great majority of animal metaphors in Korean express negative connotations. It was also found that there are sexual differences and different connotations for the same animal between English and Korean
