Abstract

Jong Sup Jun. 2004. Enriched composition in conceptual semantics and the generative lexicon theory. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 29-3, 437-460. Compositionality, often called the Fregean principle of meaning, is an important assumption in many contemporary semantic theories. The traditional view of compositionality is to consider the minimal (morpho-)syntactic units as also the minimal units of semantic composition. This explains why an interpretive component goes hand in hand with PS-rules in traditional model-theoretic semantics. On the other hand, Jackendoff (1997, 2002) proposes an alternative view of semantic composition, namely enriched composition. In this view, semantics is an autonomous level of grammar like syntax; semantic decomposition provides a conceptual structure that is invisible from syntax; and meaning composition looks into the internal semantics of a word as well as the word-level composition that is transparent to syntax. In this paper, I present a number of Korean data that support the view of enriched composition. Data from Pustejovsky's (1995) generative lexicon (=GL) theory, the substantival nouns-hata construction, reference transfer, verbal aspectual coercion, binding, control, etc. all prove problematic without assuming enriched composition. To formalize enriched composition in the conceptual semantic framework (Jackendoff 1983, 1990), I adopt lambda extraction from Jackendoff (2002), which allows us to extract an argument, a variable, or property out of word-internal event descriptions like the qualia structure (Seoul National University).
