ABSTRACT

Jo Kyeong-Sun. 2015. A Study on the Spatiality and Placeness in Residence Sentence in Korean. Korean Semantics, 50. It becomes easy to figure out the characteristics of Korean vocabulary by categorizing the types of Korean verbs and investigating their syntactic and semantic features. It is meaningful to analyze the semantic characteristics of arguments in that it sheds light onto the profound characteristics of sentence structures in Korean. This study discussed sentence structures related to residence among the vocabulary related to the food, clothing, and shelter life of man. Residence verbs are distinguished from other verbs in Korean in that they are used with noun phrases expressing a residential space. Paying attention to the fact that collocational relations between place noun phrases and residence verbs vary according to the experiences or perspectives of the subject, the study examined the semantic characteristics of place noun phrases in residence verb sentence structures. Place noun phrases in residence verb sentence structures differ in semantic attributes according to the perspectives or residential situations of the subject or speaker. Residence verbs are not randomly selected by the speaker. Instead, they form certain collocational relations with certain semantic attributes granted to place noun phrases. The present study introduced [spatiality] and [placeness] as the semantic markers of place noun phrases and showed the ways [spatiality] and [placeness] were realized in speech according to the perceptions of the subject.
