영문 초록

In this paper, I argue that the surface constructions for change of state of abstract concepts such as price, mental state, state of life, and possession, passage of time, exchange of idea, etc. are patterned like a motion by means of spatial metaphor; and that English is a co-event language type, so the spatial metaphor is often realized by particles such as up and down expressing Path in a motion event and by contrast, Korean is a Path language type, so the spatial metaphor is exclusively expressed by means of motion verbs. I also argue that fictive motion such as mental or visual motion results from the metaphorical, subjective conceptualization of the coextensive phenomena such as scenery, roads, etc.
