‘맞은편’은 어디인가? 공간언어의 모호성과 의사소통 문제 = Which Direction Is the Opposite Side? The Ambiguity of Spatial Language and Communication Problems

국문 초록 (Abstract)

공간정보를 전달하고 이해하는 과정에서 여러 가지 원인으로 의사소통의 불일치가 발생한다. 이 연구의 목적은‘맞은편’이라는 공간언어를 통해 공간언어가 갖고 있는 의미의 모호성이 사람들 간 의사소통 문제를 일으키는 하나의 원인이 된다는 점을 실험을 통해서 증명하는 것이다. 단순화된‘사거리’를 활용하는 평가도구를 통해 실험 참가자들이 생각하는‘맞은편’은 어디이며, 그 방향이 맞은편을 얼마나 정확하게 의미하는지를 조사하였다. 본 실험은 대부분의 실험 참가자들이 한 방향 이상을‘맞은편’으로 적절하다고 판단하고 있음을 밝혔다. 이러한 결과는‘맞은편’이라는 용어가 갖고 있는 의미의 모호성을 증명하는 것이다. 대부분의 실험 참가자들은 준거로 주어진 정사각형 건물의 수직과 수평 방향을 고르게‘맞은편’으로 고려하는 경향을 보였다. 준거가 되는 건물의 형태 변화, 준거가 되는 건물에 내재적 방향성 부여 등도‘맞은편’의 방향을 결정하는데 의미 있는 영향을 주는 것으로 드러났다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The ambiguity of spatial language can be a source of communication problems. For instance, the ‘the opposite side’ in a sentence such as ‘where is the opposite side of building X’ can mean more than one direction. Research interests are focused on the directions of a spatial language ‘the opposite side’. This study also explored the effect of geometric properties such as reference object’s shape and distance from the reference object and spatial reference frame in the comprehension of ‘the opposite side’. The assessment tasks used consisted of rating how appropriate the sentence ‘where is the opposite side of building X’ was to describe a series of pictures. The results of experiment suggest that ‘the opposite side’ means in most cases more than one direction simultaneously. Changing spatial reference frame has significant effects on individuals’ rating of the tasks. However, while reference object’s shape (prolonged building) has a consistent effect of the ratings given, the distance from the reference object (shortened road width) has limited influence in comprehending the tasks.
