은유의 의미기술에 관한 연구 = Formal Description of Metaphorical Meanings

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

According to Lakoff and Johnson(1980), metaphor was regarded as a poetic imaginary or rhetoric technique, and was not dealt with a general term but specific representation. This view causes people to think that metaphor is rather necessary to express a rhetoric effect in poem or literature than to use in their daily life. But it is fact that metaphor actually affects not only our daily lives but also cognitive power and concept system.
This paper deals with the meaning description of metaphor by the subatomic semantic model. Miller(1979) classified the type of metaphor as nominal metaphor, predicative metaphor, and sentential metaphor. However his description of metaphor could not satisfy the actual meaning. Especially his innovative device for metaphorical meaning description was a function SIM but the function could not apply to the predicative and sentential metaphorical meaning description.
According to Davidson's event structure semantics or subatomic semantics, it supports to explain adverb, which is regarded as an unnecessary element, grammatically all right with following compositionality as well as to describe meaningful relation like entailment and omission. In this context, the subatomic semantics could represent the metaphorical menaing more easily. For instance the usual predicative metaphor means the entailment or result, and those meanings can be represented without function like SIM. Therefore subatomic semantics is just strong enough to be as a method to describe the metaphoric meaning. So it is possible to describe the metaphoric meaning formally by adapting event structure semantics model.
