영어 수동구문의 형식의미론적 분석 = The Analysis of English Passive Construction in Formal Semantics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, an attempt was made to provide a uniform treatment of passive constructions in English. In order to solve this problem, I provide three approaches. These are sentential, phrasal and lexical approaches.
In chapter Ⅱ, some problems are suggested when sentential and phrasal approaches are adopted. When sentential approach is adopted, verbs and the past participle form of the verbs should be explained separately. In the case of adopting phrasal approach, two rules are needed to explain passive constructions in English. But considering the aims of linguistic research, - that is to seek universality and simplicity in grammar, there are many strong points in adopting lexical approach.
By applying this method, auxiliary 'be', past participle and by phrase can be explained uniformly. so I adopted Freidin's syntactic arguments of passives and accommodate them with the semantic translations within the framework of Montague Grammar. Also by this method not only the sentences with univeral and exsistential quantifiers but also the sentences with verb phrases can be explained without ambiguity. The details of the process are shown in chapter Ⅲ.
But more studies are needed to show whether this process can be applied in progressive form and more studies on 'be' verb are needed to show that passive constructions are the same as the SVC form in school grammar. If these problems are solved, we can take a uniform treatment of the 'be' verb.
