Chung, Sang-Hun. 1998. An Image-Schematic Analysis of Values in Linguistic Expressions. Studies in Modern Grammatical Theories 12, 225-240. The purpose of this study is to analyze some aspects of value systems reflected in linguistic expressions by means of the image-schematic approach that Mark Johnson has presented, and axiological semantics which studies values with reference to the meaning of various linguistic expressions, and whose task is to describe those values and ways in which they determine both the structure and the functioning of human language as manifested in human communication. The concepts `good` and `bad`, and Tischner`s hierarchy of values have been used. The results of the study are as follows; First, image-schemata are primarily based on human bodily experiences. Second, image-schemata which are based on different clusters of experiences are bi-polar. They have a `good` pole and a `bad` pole. Third, center, link, whole, up, front, right are regarded as `good`, while periphery, no link, part, down, back, left as `bad`. Fourth, `bad` can be defined relative to `good`. but not the reverse. Things canbe `bad` only to the extent to which they are `not good`, for the experience of `bad` comes from the experience of `lack`. Fifth, positively charged concepts are more likely to be unmarked forms, while negatively charged concepts are more likely to be marked forms.

Kim Jong-do. 1998. The Study on the Image-Schema Transformations. Studies in Modern Grammatical Theories 12, 141-168. This paper is designed to show an appropriate way to analyse polysemie phenomena by taking a process morpheme. -er as an example. And it emphnsises that their appropriate analysis could be achieved when it is based on the schemathic network categorization model. The model is thought to be able to avoid the problems posed by the traditional categorization and the prototype model. -er is thought to have there contextual meanings: agent, instrument and setting. These meanings can be connected through image-schema transformations. Three schemas which represent their respective meanings can be united through the superschema. On the other hand, the present tense is thought to be polysemous. But its polysemy is caused by transformations applied on another grammatical category aspect. In this point the present tense is not polysemous. This paper also shows that image-schma transformations work on all the grammatical levels, for they are not the superficial grammatical gimmics, but mental activities. Thus all the grammatical phenomena should be analysed ultimately on the base of cognitive activities.
