Abstract
This paper discusses conceptual metaphorical extensions with 'eat' and 'drink' in two typologically different languages, English and Korean. We first investigate their uses in attested data and explore their grammatical properties as well as metaphorical uses. The two languages display quite similar behavior in terms of the metaphorical extensions of the two verbs, but at the same time show differences in several respects. The paper suggests that the similarities may have to do with the fact that such ingestive events/acts involve several facets in common while the differences are caused by linguistic as well as cultural differences.
