Abstract

Due to the categorical nature of the Chinese language, the meaning-boundary of a predicate verb in a Chinese text often transcends that of the immediate sentence, dominating several sentences, paragraphs and sometimes even the entire text. Therefore, in order to understand and analyze the structure and information in a Chinese text, it is crucial to accurately determine the meaning-boundary of each predicate verb. The second chapter of this paper classifies predicate verbs that transcend the boundaries of immediate sentences according to meaning, and examines the domination aspect of each predicate verb through examples. The third chapter studies the semantic and formal methods that can be applied to the determination of predicate-verb boundaries, and classifies these into internal-continuation determination methods and external-termination determination methods, then discusses the positional relationship between the two methods and verifies it through the application to actual texts. However, there are numerous instances in which it is difficult to determine the boundary of a predicate verb due to various circumstances, including when the text producer did not use markers that clearly indicate the boundary, when the language is ambiguous, and when the text can have various interpretations. The fourth chapter discusses the issues in determining boundaries and the ambiguity or diversity of boundaries, and examines how the interpretations of an entire text structure differ according to the determined boundary. The chapter also confirms that the boundary determination methods presented in the third chapter can be utilized as a way to eliminate the possibilities of misreading, which go beyond the limitations of permissible interpretation diversity. Understanding predicate-verb boundaries can help Korean learners gain a more accurate understanding of Chinese texts by alleviating related difficulties, improve their reading comprehension, and especially, be of great use in undergraduate and graduate courses on Chinese interpretation and translation.
