초록

This research attempts to characterize two opposite adjectives kapyepta 'light' vs. mwukepta 'heavy' through an examination of a Korean written corpus. This study first examines the frequency of these two adjectives in the database, showing that kapyepta is more frequently used than mwukepta in the database. Second, it examines the frequency of grammatical functions of kapyepta vs. mwukepta, showing that about half of the kapyepta tokens take the adverbial form, although they are used both attributively and predicatively. Third, this study explores co-occurrence relations and collocation patterns of the two adjectives, showing that most of the kapyepta tokens are used to modify or predicate nouns which denote abstract notions, actions/activities, and attitudes, while mwukepta co-occurs mostly with nouns of concrete objects, actions/activities, and abstract entities. Fourth, this work explores semantic properties of kapyepta vs. mwukepta based on the examination of semantic categories of co-occurring nouns. This study also shows that idiomatic expressions can be explained in terms of conceptual metaphor theory. Finally, this research suggests that a corpus-based analysis is a useful tool in characterizing uses and meanings of many closely related words in Korean.
