한국어 복수 의미 연구 = A Study on Korean Plural Senses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, I argue that unmarked and marked plural NPs create distinct plural senses with differing conceptual bases. Depending on whether real-world multiple entities are conceptualized as a single unit (i.e., collective plural) or as individuated singles (i.e., distributive plural), NPs are coded unmarked or marked with a -tul morpheme. Through an analysis of some phenomena incorporated into the semantic effect of the marked plural form, this paper supports this viewpoint. I will show that animacy hierarchy is an important indicator for predicting the form and meaning of plurality. Further, I will examine the plural morpheme found with non-nominal elements. Finally, I will discuss nominal stem reduplication as still another source for the plural sense in Korean. Unlike the other two forms, reduplicated forms represent the entities in sequentially accumulated configuration (i.e., cumulative plural).
