‘N₁+N₂’ 형 합성명사 기술의 몇 문제 = Remarks on the Formation of Noun₁+Noun₂ Compounds in Korean

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to explain a principle of the formation of "Noun₁+Noun₂" compounds in Korean. Studies on the formation of such compounds can be divided into two groups; one group of linguists have thought that some nominal phrases like "NP#NP" get reconstructed as syntactic atoms by frequent uses, and the other group of linguists have argued that in the lexicon are they formed by a compounding rule. In the latter case, their suggestion is based on the fact that there are some semantic relations observed on the "Noun₁+Noun₂" compounds only. This is, it is said that in case a noun denote an attribute of the following noun such as a configuration, an ingredient, a mean, and the like, that chain of nouns can be regarded as a compound, not s syntactic phrase.
However, such semantic structures on a chain of nouns cannot be a criteria to distinguish "Noun₁+Noun₂" compounds from nominal phrases because there are a lot of exceptions. In this paper, it is argued that such chains of nouns can be described as a type of nominal phrases, and some "Noun₁+Noun₂" compounds can be currently formed by syntactic principles without frequent uses.
