ABSTRACT

Jeong Byong-chol. 2007. A Study on the Experiential Correlation Based Meaning Extension of Verbs: Cognitive Approach to Interaction between Verb and Construction. Korean Semantics, 22. The meaning of verb already had been studied by many researchers of transformational grammar's background as an important subject for its significant relationship with syntax. Within cognitive linguistics framework also, the meaning of verb is assumed to play central role in determining overall structure of arguments. Goldberg (1995, 2006) suggests that construction itself has the role of head, which is determinant of argument structure, and it is readily accepted that there occur interactions between verb and construction. In this study, we have examined metonymic meaning extension of verbs based on experiential correlation as formulation factor of syntactic frame, because metonymic meaning extension mechanism is different with metaphorical one in that it adds co-related meaning to prototype, not just extending application of schematic meaning to different domains. With this experience-based approach, it is possible to provide more cognitively motivated theory of construction and its interaction with meaning of verb.
