The previous researched papers of so-called the semantic feature analysis on the predicate are improper for Korean predicates.
This paper discusses the basis of establishing the predicate semantic features in accordance with Korean question classified types by the cognition.
The Korean question types by the Cognition are as follows ;
(1) The questions to the entity : oˇttoˇn-Q.
oˇni-Q .
musuˇn-Q.
nugu-Q.(who)
muoˇs-Q.(what)
(2) the questions to the situation : oˇnje-Q.(when)
oˇdi-Q.(where)
(wae-Q)(why)
(3) the questions to number or quantity : myoˇch-Q.
oˇlma- Q.
(4) the questions to the existent phenomena:
㉠ event : oˇjjiha-Q.
muosha-Q.
㉡ property or figure : oˇttoˇha-Q.
㉢ where or not existence : iss-Q. (yes-no Q.)
㉣ appointment· of eristence : i-Q. (yes-no Q.)
㉤ change: toe- Q. (yes-no Q).
This study is limited on the question of the existent phenomena for establishing the predicate semantic features. Because the predicates are usually used to the expression of the existent phenomena in Korean.
According to the answers to these questions, we can establish the major class features of predicates and decide on the term of semantic features with superordinates and generic terms in the predicate structure.
The verification of these features is in accordance with the co-occurrence restriction with aspectual features.
The major class features of predicates are as follows :
(1) |i| : appointment of existence [-Aspect]
(2) |iss| : whether or not existence [+Aspect]
(3) |oˇttoˇha| : property or figure of phenomenon [+Aspect]
(4) |oˇjjiha| : event or affair [+Aspect]
(5) | toe | : change [+Aspect]
The semantic structures are based ort these features, thus the semantic structures are as follows ;
(1) |i| (X=Y)
(2) |iss| (X)
(3) |oˇttoˇha| (X)
(4) |oˇjjiha| (X, Y)
(5) |toe | ((X→)Y)
