The purpose of this paper is to investigate the aspects of the markings of animacy in English in terms of prototypicality effects. It is argued that the animacy markings of nouns in –er agentive nouns, the so-called possessor noun in the two kinds of genitive constructions, and adjective+noun combinations involve the prototypicality effects in different ways. First, –er agentive nouns are argued to show the prototypicality effect in terms of the four levels of animacy gradience in animacy hierarchy. Second, the choice or alternation between ’s gentive and of genitive in English also shows the effect in terms of the gradience in the token frequency of animate nouns. Third, the prototypicality effect in adjective+noun combinations depends on which meaning of the adjectives has the more token frequency of combinations with animate nouns. Fourth, the adjective+preposition combinations matter to determine the effect in the animacy of their subjects or objects. Fifth, the complements of prepositions show the prototypicality effect in terms of the token frequency and syntactic superiority effect.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quantitative recognition of badness among the four subcategories of bad language words[BLWs] in English and Korean. The followings are discussed in this paper. First, the semantic features are proposed for each subcategory of BLWs in English and Korean. Second, the semantic differential techniques are employed to measure the relative strength of badness of the BLWs in English and Korean. The twelve semantic differential features are proposed to measure the relative strength of badness for each BLW in English and Korean. Korean speakers have more badness points on Korean BLWs than English speakers on English BLWs, which may be related to Korean high context culture. Korean speakers have the degree of strength under the hierarchy of swearwords〉vulgarity〉epithets〉slang, while English speakers have it under that of swearwords〉epithets〉slang〉vulgarity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between the linguistic typology of object-dominant vs. action-dominant languages and plural markers in English and Korean. This paper argues that the ‘deul’ marked elements induce the pluralities of eventuality in Korean and that the pluralities of eventuality have something to do with the verb-centered characteristic of action-dominant languages. The followings are discussed in this paper. First, the plural marker ‘deul’ for nouns produces the distributive readings, which activates the repetitive or plural eventualities. Second, the presences of ‘deul’ marker for adverbs and verbs in a sentence can be accounted for by the notion of plural eventuality, which supports the action-dominant function of a ‘deul’ marker. Third, the ‘deul’ marker applied to non-count nouns demonstrates that the main function of the marker is to mark the plural eventualities rather than the plural entities. Fourth, the plural or repetitive event readings for plural subjects in English are derived from the implicatures from the restricted verbal classes and aspects of the predicates and the distributive readings of the predicates.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between bare infinitive constructions in English and the image schemas of force dynamics. The semantic motivations for the selection of bare infinitive complements or -ing/to-infinitive complements in several English constructions have been discussed on the basis of the semantic properties of each specific construction. In this paper it is argued that the discussions of the motivations could be integrated under the cognitive image schemas of force dynamics, and that the use of the infinitive complements reflects the compulsion image schema, while that of the to-infinitive complements shows the barrier removal image schema. The following specific claims are made in this paper. First, the alternations between bare infinitive complements and -ing complements in some perception verb constructions have been described under temporal subsumption, pure vs. cognitive perception, etc. The different views on the alternations are argued to be explained under the image schema of force dynamics. Second, the specific complement types(bare infinitive or to-infinitive) selected by the different causative verbs reflect the image schema of force dynamics. Third, The image schematic explanations for the complement alternations in some English constructions are argued to be extended to the complement alternations in other languages such as Korean. In this paper, it is claimed that the alternation between -key and -tolok complements in Korean causative constructions could be explained in the similar way as in English counterparts.

한국어 진행형표지 `-고 있다`와 어휘상과의 상호작용 연구

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between the progressive marker ‘-ko iss’ in Korean and the lexical aspect. This investigation stimulates a further discussion about the marker and other spectual markers’ meanings/functions. On the basis of an in-depth literature review in this field, this study made some claims about the topic as follows. First, it is probable that the Korean verbs such as ‘alta(know)’ and ‘saranghata(love)’ should be regarded as states, while they should be reclassified into achievements by the process of aspectual coercion proposed by De Swart(1998) when they combine with the progressive markers such as ‘-ko iss’. Second, the present progressive meanings in Korean are expressed by three different markers: simple tense marker, ‘-ko iss’ marker, and ‘-nun cwung’ marker. It is argued that the three different forms for the progressive meaning express the different scopes of focussing. The simple present tense marker represents the wide scope of focussing, while the ‘-ko iss’ marker the narrower scope of focussing. The ‘-nun cwung’ marker is argued to represent the narrowest scope of focussing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate Korean case alternation constructions in terms of differential case markings. The differential case markings as an alternative to default cases depend on the notions such as definiteness and animacy, which are argued to account for the case alternation constructions in Korean. The constructions discussed in this paper include the alternations from genitive, or dative marked NPs to accusative, or nominative marked NPs. The first finding is that the accusative marked NPs as differential object case(DOC) tend to have the differential case property of definiteness and animacy and show the object property in terms of semantic affectedness. The second claim is that the nominative marked NPs as differential subject case(DSC) tend to have the differential case property of definiteness and animacy and show the subject property in terms of the agreement with honorific marker ‘-si’ within the sentential verb. The nominative marked NPs in place of genitive or dative marked ones are also motivated by the thematization or focus function for the NPs in the sentences.

The purposes of this paper are twofold. The first purpose of this paper is to investigate the theoretical factors which contribute to the procedural meanings of English that. The second purpose is to provide the procedural meanings of its corresponding expressions in Korean, which include ‘ku’, ‘kuket’, and ‘kesiki’, and additionally the meaning differences among the expressions. The notions of joint attention, the accessibility of referents, the focus schema, etc. are argued to contribute to the procedural meanings for English that and its Korean equivalents. The difference between ‘ku’ and ‘kuket’ is compared with the notions of focus schema and the hierarchy of cognitive status. On the other hand, the differences between ‘kuket’ and ‘kesiki’ are discussed with the notion of ‘focus schema’ based on ‘definiteness’ and ‘reference’. It is argued that ‘kuket’ represents the low focus, while ‘kesiki’ the high focus. (Pusan National University)

영어 AND 접속구문과 한국어 “-고/-와” 접속구문에 대한 비교연구

박기성 ( Kiseong Park ) 대한언어학회 2016 언어학 Vol.24 No.2

The purpose of this paper is to compare English AND conjunction constructions and their corresponding ‘-ko’ and ‘-wa’ constructions in Korean in terms of NP-level and clausal level conjunctions. The followings are discussed in this paper. First, it is argued that the juncture-nexus theory and Interclausal Relations Hierarchy in RRG are needed to explain the syntax-semantics interfaces in both English AND constructions and Korean ‘-wa’ and ‘-ko’ constructions. Second, it is claimed that English NP-level AND constructions have the features of AND-languages, while Korean ‘-wa’ constructions have the mixtures of AND-languages and WITH-languages. It is also claimed that both coordination and cosubordination junctures are realized in NP level English AND constructions and Korean ‘-wa’ constructions. The differences in juncture types are argued to be related to the semantic effects such as joint vs. split readings and collective vs. distributive readings. Third, it is claimed that English AND constructions in clausal level typically involve coordination junctures, while Korean ‘-ko’ constructions involve both coordination and cosubordination junctures under the conditions of sharing the same subjects and the same tenses. The cosubordination junctures in Korean typically involve the semantic effects such as cause-effect relations and temporal sequences.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the aspects of grammatical manifestations for subjective perspective in Korean grammatical constructions. Even though subjective perspective has not been a central issue in the accounts of grammatical constructions, I would like to emphasize its importance in explaining the subtle meanings and motivations for Korean grammatical constructions. The followings are discussed in this paper. First, the subjective perspective is divided into speaker’s and main clause subject’s perspective. Discussions for speaker’s perspective are made in terms of the focus on quantification and a negative or positive view on an event, while those for main clause subject’s perspective are made in terms of the subjective judgment for raised object and the co-reference of main clause subject with logophoric reflexives. Second, it is argued that the speaker’s subjective perspective is manipulated by the additional use of the noun particles for quantifier raising constructions and the applicative use of auxiliary verbs, while the main clause subject’s perspective by that of the alternative accusative markings for raised objects and the logophoric ‘caki’ reflexive markings in embedded clauses. Third, it is argued that speaker’s or subject’s subjective perspective gives us the new insights on the use of noun particles, auxiliary verbs, ‘caki’ reflexives in Korean grammatical constructions.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the aspects of basic word orders and their variations in English and Korean, and the interactions with the iconicity of distance principle for the basic word orders and their variations. The basic word orders are discussed in terms of word orders within the major constituents such as verb-object constructions and multiple adverbial constructions. The followings are argued in this paper. The first claim is that there are basic word orders in Korean as well as in English and the canonical symmetric arrangement between the (basic) word orders in English and Korean. The second claim is that basic word orders and their variations can be equally accounted for in terms of distance principle of iconicity, even though the principle applies more strongly for English.
