ABSTRACT

We have tried to build a text-mining system to extract cultural elements by using SEJONG Corpus and BCCWJ. In this paper, we examine cultural elements of Japanese and Korean 'sleep' frame verb and try to find out the differences of each language based on the analysis of the result of co-occurrence rates(t-scores). Both belonging to the same 'sleep' frame('The sleeper stays in an altered state of consciousness with greatly reduced external awareness.', the definition of the frame-https://framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu-), each language shows several differences. The very noteworthy finding is that Japanese 'neru' shows the very unique core lexical element of 'sleeper', ‘old man’ and from the usages of 'neru', it means 'posture change' rather than 'state change', which both English and Korean mainly mean.
