The Corpus Based Study of Meaning Changes - The Case of Korean Verb ‘not(놓)-’

Lee MinWoo

This study examines and compares the frequency of using the meaning of a verb ‘not(놓)-‘ through the corpus data of modern Korean during the 19th and 20th century in order to figure out the meaning of the vocabulary shown in context and describe the aspects of the meaning changes using the statistic analysis of corpus. Vocabulary acquires its concrete meaning with the relationship of integrative combination according to the features of the vocabulary itself, and various meanings get to be born through this process. Thus, it is possible to understand the meaning of vocabulary quantitatively not simply with the independent use frequency of the proper vocabulary but with the relative categorization through the aspects of combination in the actual use of the vocabulary. This study examines the changing aspects of the meaning use quantitatively with that method, and it is significant in that it compares the areas of the actual meaning use by periods with corpus data. According to the result of this research, there was great difference in the range of individual meaning use regarding the meaning used in the two periods. The fact that the changes in the range of meaning use in the two periods are similar to the process of general meaning transition that meaning changes from concrete to abstract meaning can be also found. This research has proved the possibility of describing the aspects and changes of large-scale meaning use based on the aspects of relative combination, and follow-up research on the aspects of general meaning changes is expected.
