초록

The purpose of this paper is to particularly examine the meaning of noun-to-verb conversion pairs by an intercategorical polysemic approach to denominal verbs. A noun-to-verb conversion in general occurs in English without any morphological change for linguistic economy. This conversion produces a denominal verb with its high productivity, in which its parent noun denoting an instrument is the most common, such as a noun to a verb conversion of ‘hammer’. However, all denominal verbs do not necessarily entail the meaning of parent nouns in the process of interpretation. That is, the semantic inclusion of a parent noun does not come into play to judge the semantic relatedness of a conversion pair, at which the meaning of hammerN is not explicitly indicated in hammerV. This semantic incompatibility between a parent noun and its derived verb is discussed in three respects: (1) the reason for diverse meanings, (2) the influential factors that determine the choice of meaning between them, and (3) the ways of understanding semantically unrelated pairs of conversion.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to particularly examine the meaning of noun-to-verb conversion pairs by an intercategorical polysemic approach to denominal verbs. A noun-to-verb conversion in general occurs in English without any morphological change for linguistic economy. This conversion produces a denominal verb with its high productivity, in which its parent noun denoting an instrument is the most common, such as a noun to a verb conversion of ‘hammer’. However, all denominal verbs do not necessarily entail the meaning of parent nouns in the process of interpretation. That is, the semantic inclusion of a parent noun does not come into play to judge the semantic relatedness of a conversion pair, at which the meaning of hammerN is not explicitly indicated in hammerV. This semantic incompatibility between a parent noun and its derived verb is discussed in three respects: (1) the reason for diverse meanings, (2) the influential factors that determine the choice of meaning between them, and (3) the ways of understanding semantically unrelated pairs of conversion.
