공간감각 형용사의 원형 인식과 언어 표현

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This statment is aimed at looking into the spatial cognition of the Korean speakers through the prototype theory based upon cognitive psychology and looking at the relations in between Korean speakers` prototype cognition of the spatial sense and language expression. The achievements of this work can be summarized as follows; 1) The actual physical size and people`s prototype cognition to the space aren`t accord with each other. 2) The prototype cognition to the space doesn`t well match with relations of antonym. 3) The prototype cognition to the space is to be learned rather than to be genetic. 4) The prototype cognition to the space and language expressions are not closely related.
