명사-명사 개념결합의 처리과정 = Processing of Noun-noun Conceptual Combinations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Combined concepts are fundamentally ambiguous in meaning, and various factors affect their comprehension and interpretation. Even though previous studies have investigated the factors and the interpretation types(thematic relation, property mapping, and hybrid), few of on-line processes have been known in either constructing or selecting the meanings of combined concepts. In this study, we critically reviewed six representative approaches or models, and proposed a model on on-line processes and ran an experiment to test its possibility, even though it is rather rough yet. We manipulated whether modifier concepts have any salient properties and whether head concepts have any relevant slots(dimensions) to accept the salient properties, and measured interpretation time of the combined concepts. The result showed that interpretation time is fastest when the modifier has any salient property and the head concept has relevant slots. On the other hand, interpretation time is slowest when the modifier has a salient property but the head has no relevant slot. This result stands in sharp contrast with the implicit assumption of primacy of thematic relation interpretation. The result was discussed with relation to the current models of concept combination and the conceptual․methodological issues.

개념결합은 기본적으로 다의적이기 때문에 그 이해와 해석은 많은 요인들의 영향을 받는다. 선행연구와 모형들이 개념결합의 이해의 유형(주제적 관계해석, 속성해석, 그리고 혼성물 해석)에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 밝혀왔지만, 결합개념의 의미를 구성하거나 선택하는 온라인 과정에 대해서는 알려져 있는 것이 거의 없다. 이 연구에서는 지금까지 제안된 여섯 가지 대표적인 접근과 모형들을 비판적으로 간략히 개관하고, 선행연구들에 근거하여 다소 거칠기는 하더라도 결합개념의 온라인 처리과정에 대한 한 가지 모형을 제안하고 그 모형의 타당성을 검증하는 실험연구를 수행하였다. 개념결합에서 수식개념이 현저한 속성을 가지고 있는지의 여부 그리고 주개념이 적절한 슬롯(차원)을 가지고 있는지의 여부에 따라 결합개념의 해석반응시간을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 수식개념이 현저한 속성을 가지고 있으며 주개념이 그 속성을 받아들일 적절한 슬롯을 가지고 있는 경우에 반응시간이 가장 빨랐으며, 주개념에 적절한 슬롯이 없어 관계해석을 시도할 때 가장 느렸다. 이 결과는 많은 연구들이 암묵적으로 가정해온 주제적 관계해석 우선성에 위배되는 것이다. 연구의 결과를 기존에 제안된 모형들 그리고 개념적․방법론적 문제점들과 연계하여 논의하였다.
