ABSTRACT

This paper is to explain the relationship between the construction and meaning of the locomotion verb, 'kada'. The researchers have focused on alternative construction of 'kada' verb which is typically categorized as one of intransitive verbs. Actually the verb 'kada' is realized with '-e/rɨl(을/를)' NP. '-e/rɨl(을/를)' is a particle for a direct object. The approach to explain the distinctive phenomena needs the knowledge about verb's meaning crust. Syntactic approach didn't use frame semantic elements which is consisted of pragmatic meaning and encyclopedic knowledge adding to the skeletal meaning, argument structure. This thesis has the basis that all constructions are correlated to specific meanings of the verb. Constructions are strongly motivated to relate with verb's meaning structure. 'Kada' verb can be also used as a transitive verb in case that [objectness]or [patientness] is a prominent meaning element in the evident of 'kada'. The analysis of linking a scene to construction establishes a fact that all kinds syntactic alternatives of one verb has a strong relationship with heir verb frame meaning.
