How could we conceptualize and express the abstract feelings of 'love' in our daily lives? The cognitive semantics claim that it can be shaped by the metaphorical conceptualization of abstract emotional states. According to Kὅvecses(2005), physiological metonymy provides cognitive motivation to metaphorical conceptualization, and metaphorical conceptualization is generally considered to be natural because it is founded on physiological metonymy. This paper looks at the process how the emotion of love could be conceptualized in order to understand the fact that metonymic experience becomes the foundation of metaphorical conceptualization. It especially focus on the cognitive correlation of metonymy and metaphors through Shin Seung Hun‘s songs. This study also tries to extend to community perspective so that it could look further into the Korean public’s cultural characteristics towards love by means of metonymic experience on which to base the metaphor conceptualization.
