ABSTRACT

This paper is that I researched how the semantic role of 'manner' is represented in Korean sentences. That is, I inspected closely the notion, the scope fixing, and the conditions of 'Manner' category. Various aspects of 'manner' that were proved innocent through this inspections is as follows. First, Some adverbs indicate manner of the event the sentence represents. Such adverbs goes by the name of "manner adverbs". Second, 'adjectives+ge(게)' also indicates manner of the event the sentence represents. In such circumstances which 'adjective+ge' adverbials have theme argument as the event, they represented manners of the events. But in such case which 'adjective+ge' adverbials have theme argument as the constitute of event, they represented states which have causal relation of the event. Third, clauses combined with some connective-endings like '-go(고)‘, '-myeo(며)’ ’-myenseo(면서)' etc., have semantic role of 'manner'. Predicates of such clauses must be event-dispositional predicates. Besides them, various constituent parts of a sentence have the semantic role of 'manner'.
