ABSTRACT

The semantic features are structuralized into the semantic structures, and such semantic structures are closely related to the syntactic structures. Through the diverse syntactic/semantic characteristics of the Korean sentences, it is possible to precisely approach and analyze semantic features. The purpose of this paper is to examine the syntactic/semantic characteristics of the possessive construction involving possession and to set the subject­conceptual structure of the possessive construction. The sentence meaning of the possessive construction can be defined as “the agent with a will dominantly owns the target”. To lexical­internally describe the characteristics of the possession, the conceptual semantics(Jackendoff) is used as a methodology. In addition, the possession is semantically closely related to the existential construction and ditransitive construction. The existential, possessive and ditransitive constructions are detected through the concept that they are based on a fixed semantic correlation.
