S. Ullmann had presented five factors of occurrence for polysemy which is the one of fundamental features in human language. That is the transfer of application, speculation of social circumstances, metaphoric language, reinterpretation for synonymy, effects of foreign language. I tried to discuss in this paper, mainly, about the polysemy occurring by metonomy. When the words get the polysemy, we have not so many troubles for understanding as far as possible its motivation have maintained. But if its motivation is not maintained, we have to endure many of difficulties in pursuit of similarity or relation between meanings. We can assume that the common features of meaning may be the boundary of differentiation of meaning by chasing the process of differentiation. So, I think that we may have expectation on the positive effect for Korean vocabulary education if we are awakening to this boundary of meaning differentiation, diversely and systematically. In this study, I tried to examine the relation between the verbs which is the kind of playing musical instrument and the aspect of categorial formation of those words by semantic consideration for the process of getting meaning. For the purpose, I examined the process of extending by comparing basic meaning with extended meaning and I checked about semantic relation of those kind of verbs. I examined the verbs which is related on playing musical instrument in the view of semantic relation and cognitive theory. I classified performing verbs into the percussive verb /tada/, the verb rubing with bow /kjǝda/, the verb with stick /chida/, the verb blowing with mouth /bulda/. In Korean verb, the basic meaning of /tada/ is [彈] in Chinese letter. /kjǝda/ is same with /tada/ in Chinese, /chida/ means [打],/bulda/ means [吹]. Those performing verb is selected by activating zone of instrument, in exemple, finger with string, hand or stick with surface of drum, lips with hole of the flute or bamboo oboe. Other foreign languages like English, Japanese, French, German show similar aspects. And the basic meaning extend to the abstrct meaning when those verbs get the meaning [奏] in Chinese as performance.
