ABSTRACT

Oh, Kyoungsook. 2004. On the Difference between ‘mankeum’ Comparatives and ‘cheorum’ Comparatives. Korean Semantics, 14. The purpose of the thesis is to make the difference between ‘mankeum’ comparatives and ‘cheorum’ comparatives clear. In lots of studies on the matter, the meaning of ‘mankeum’ comparatives is explain as ‘comparison between two degrees’ but the meaning of ‘cheoreom’ comparatives’ is explain differently one another. We tried to explain that the meaning of ‘mankeum’ comparatives is related to ‘gradability’ but that of ‘cheoreom’ comparatives is not. In doing so, we organized the three properties of ‘degree comparison’ and checked various kinds of ‘cheoreom’ comparatives. And we argued that the meaning of ‘mankeum’ comparatives is to express the comparison of the ‘degrees’ but the meaning of ‘cheoreom’ comparatives is to express the comparison of the ‘events·states’.
