Abstract
In order to examine the actual usage of spatial adjectives 'Kulkda' and 'Cu' and the cognitive mechanism of their extended meanings, this study analyzed the actual combination pattern of spatial meaning and the frequency of the appearance of the extended meaning through 3000 cases in each spoken language corpus. As a result of the analysis, the spatial meaning of “Kulkda” appears with a frequency of 84%, and the extended meaning is 16%, which is mainly closely combined with the 'food' category. The spatial meaning of “Cu” has a frequency of 78%, with extended meaning that is 22%, which combines mostly with the 'human body' category. “Kulkda” has four positive meanings, one negative meaning, while “Cu” has one positive meaning, and five negative meanings. It is expected that the results of this study will contribute to related research and actual Korean language classes.
