This study aims to analyze the process in which the tactile onomatopoeia with the meanings of 「hardness, moisture, viscosity, and pain」 is extended to those with the abstract meanings. It also compares and analyzes the co-occurrence of nouns and verbs with the onomatopoeia. As a result, it is verified through this study that when the meaning is extended from the concrete tactile sense of the human body to the abstract meaning of human psychology or of the external situation, the tactile onomatopoeia with the same meanings in both Korean and Japanese is extended to those with the similar abstract meanings. Meanwhile, in the case of co-occurrence of nouns and verbs, the onomatopoeia is most frequently used with the nouns representing body and food, but it does not show as many co-occurrence restrictions with specific verbs as with nouns.
