초록

Coercion is defined as a resolution of semantic incompatibility between a construction and a lexical item that occurs in it. By employing Conceptual Blending (Fauconnier and Turner 2002), this study attempts to describe the gradient nature of coercion, which is reflected in different degrees of acceptability judgments and processing efforts. It also illustrates the complex interaction of lexical meaning, constructional meaning, context, and the consequential emergent meaning. Through coercion observed in English ditransitive construction and Korean light verb construction ([NP-ul ha-da] ‘NP-ACC do-DEC, do the action of NP’), the study shows that the proposed blending process of coercion is applicable to different types of coercion in different languages.

Abstract

Coercion is defined as a resolution of semantic incompatibility between a construction and a lexical item that occurs in it. By employing Conceptual Blending (Fauconnier and Turner 2002), this study attempts to describe the gradient nature of coercion, which is reflected in different degrees of acceptability judgments and processing efforts. It also illustrates the complex interaction of lexical meaning, constructional meaning, context, and the consequential emergent meaning. Through coercion observed in English ditransitive construction and Korean light verb construction ([NP-ul ha-da] ‘NP-ACC do-DEC, do the action of NP’), the study shows that the proposed blending process of coercion is applicable to different types of coercion in different languages.
