This study aims to demonstrate that you can use body-part terms in the corpus-linguistic methodology to study lexis in cognitive linguistics. It particularly explores body-part terms such as “mouth,” “hands,” and “feet” and by means of their frequencies, examines their figurative meaning by the usage patterns. Among the body-part terms with high frequency use, this study examined the figurative meaning of the target words such as mouth, hands, and feet. The target words were extracted from the Sejong corpus to ensure the qualitative validity of the quantitative expansion. This study analyzed body-part terms only, the combination control of the use of these expressions in a pattern when used in a figurative sense. It is concerned with word meaning from the perspective of cognitive linguistics on one hand and corpus linguistics on the other hand.
