LING 1065 - METAPHOR IN KOREAN LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Metaphor in Korean language and thought is an introduction course to the study of meaning, which focuses on the basic findings in the field of conceptual metaphor research. Metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in LG but also in thought and culture. Metaphors also play a role in ethnic and cultural identity. In this course, we will examine how metaphor differences across cultures affect how people in different cultures think and consequently use LG differently. Korean will be the main lgto be studied throughout the course but other LGs such as English, Japanese and Chinese will also be discussed in order to maintain cross-linguistic and cross-cultural comparisons.
