Abstract
This study found a problem arising in the use and biased meanings that is not pragmatically smooth due to the multi-sense meaning of ''-at/eot umyeon joketta'', one of the Korean expressions of hope, and determined that one of its causes is the system of textbooks and grammar books and the contents of the description without set standards. Therefore, in this study, a corpus search was performed to collect the instances where ''-at/eot umyeon joketta'' is used. A total 150 sentences were extracted through the corpus search, and all 4 meanings of ''-at/eot umyeon joketta'' were found to be used, including hope for the impossible, hope for a possibility, hope in request for action and hope for the resolution of complaint. Examining each semantic component, the hope for the impossible, hope for a possibility, hope in request for action were observed to be in metaphorical expansion relationship with one another :the hope for complaint resolution was extended from the hope for action request. It is expanded from the adjacent meanings and it was confirmed that relationship was one of metonymous expansion. This result was confirmed that the left and right(road) extensions in the male form of ''-at/eot umyeon joketta''were metaphorical and upper and lower(length) extensions were metonymous. This can be applied to instruction on the use polysemous grammar forms.
