ABSTRACT

Cha, Joon-Kyung. 2004. Meaning Transfer of Korean Event Nouns. Korean Semantics, 15. This paper deals with Korean event nouns which can be interpreted as an entity type. We concern about meaning transfer that occurs from event type to entity type. Although many studies have been concerned with the lexical aspect of event nouns, they did not concern about event nouns can be used to refer to entity type. We focus on the usage of event nouns which can be interpreted as an entity type. We investigate and classify them as agent event, result event, theme event, instrument event, time and place event. These are participants of event structure, which can be highlight in a context based on the semantic property of event nouns. Contextual meaning of the entity type is related to the event structure. The possible contextual meaning is undespecified in the lexical semantic structure and the specific contextual meaning could be realized by contextual effect combining with adjectives and verbs. Multiple meaning of event nouns are closely related to each other, even though they are different semantic types. These meanings can be underspecified in the lexical semantic structure.
