초록
The purpose of the paper is to explain the complex phenomena of Korean light verb constructions with the perspective of the cognitive semantics, in which two types of verbal nouns in Korean, case-marked and unmarked, can possibly be treated as having the same semantic content but different conceptual images depending on which part of the image is profiled. In the paper, it is assumed that a case-marked verbal noun (kongpwu-lul in kongpwu-lul hata) is nominal and an unmarked one (kongpwu in kongpwuhata) is verbal. Nominal verbal nouns (VNs) are profiled in their abstract regions and verbal ones are profiled in the relations. The difference in their profiled areas explains the syntactic and semantic differences of case-marked and unmarked VNs in Korean light verb constructions. The results support the assumption of the distributed morphology that words are combined either in the lexicon or in syntax. If the two types of VNs have to be distinguished in explaining the various phenomena of Korean light verb constructions, it naturally follows that the unmarked VNs are formed in the lexicon but the case marked VNs are formed in syntax.
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to explain the complex phenomena of Korean light verb constructions with the perspective of the cognitive semantics, in which two types of verbal nouns in Korean, case-marked and unmarked, can possibly be treated as having the same semantic content but different conceptual images depending on which part of the image is profiled. In the paper, it is assumed that a case-marked verbal noun (kongpwu-lul in kongpwu-lul hata) is nominal and an unmarked one (kongpwu in kongpwuhata) is verbal. Nominal verbal nouns (VNs) are profiled in their abstract regions and verbal ones are profiled in the relations. The difference in their profiled areas explains the syntactic and semantic differences of case-marked and unmarked VNs in Korean light verb constructions. The results support the assumption of the distributed morphology that words are combined either in the lexicon or in syntax. If the two types of VNs have to be distinguished in explaining the various phenomena of Korean light verb constructions, it naturally follows that the unmarked VNs are formed in the lexicon but the case marked VNs are formed in syntax.
