배수표현 한국어 ‘배’와 중국어 ‘倍(bèi)’의 대조 연구

Abstract

In this study, the preceding and following elements of ‘bae’ in Korean and ‘bèi’ in Chinese were extracted and statistically analyzed using corpus, and the semantic functions of ‘bae’ and ‘bèi’ were contrasted based on this. ‘bae’ and ‘bèi’ have in common that most of the preceding elements are constant expressions, and in the case of indefinite expressions, the frequency of use is relatively low. However, even if it is an constant expression, the numeral expression meaning ‘1’ is rarely used before ‘bae’, but is used most frequently before ‘bèi’. For the following elements of ‘bae’ and ‘bèi’, according to statistics, the multiple expressions indicating ‘more’ or ‘increasing’ and the multiple expressions that specify a relative size are used a lot, and the multiple expressions indicating ‘small’ or ‘decreasing’ are rarely used. This is the same for both Korean ‘bae’ and Chinese ‘bèi’. Both ‘bae’ and ‘bèi’ can be used to mean ‘100%’(unit function) and ‘200%’ (vocabulary function). However, in modern Korean, ‘bae’ is commonly used as a function of the lexical meaning of ‘200%’, whereas in modern Chinese, ‘bèi’ has a very limited usage. Also, there is a difference in syntactic meaning in Korean and Chinese multiple expressions related to the grammatical function postposition in Korean and complement in Chinese.
