ABSTRACT

This study is to analyze the English verb ‘draw’ and the Korean Verb ‘ggulda’ based on the Lexical Typology (François 2008) and shows its semantic maps of the two verbs. This paper presents the idea of colexification which was suggested by François (2008). For the research, this study analyzed and compared the objective noun collocations in English and Korean corpus respectively. The results from the comparison study are as follows; first, DRAW has five senses, {attract}, {pull}, {extract}, {depict} and {drag} and each sense can be divided into smaller semantic areas. For example, {attract} has two areas; <attention> and <reaction>, {pull} has two; <on-ground>, <off-ground>, {depict} has two; <line>, <picture>. Secondly, English colexifies all the senses except for the sense, {drag}. Although Korean colexifies three senses, {attract}, {pull} and {drag}, there are some senses which don’t colexify {extract} and {depict}. Lastly, this study also shows the semantic maps of the two verbs based on the results.
