AB - This paper studies on the relation that is located between oppositeness and some procedures in word formation. Even though ‘mul(water)’ and ‘bul(fire)’ are ontologically irrelevant, we recognize that the compound pairs such as ‘mulsuneung(extremely easy scholastic ability test)’ and ‘bulsuneung(extremely difficult scholastic ability test) are semantically opposed. This phenomenon shows that some semantic oppositions can be established through a certain intention of speaker or contextual information in addition to semantic information. Apart from that the oppositeness exists or not and that it is remarkable or not, it is revealed that the opposition can be established or strengthened even in a specific pair by the speaker’s intention or contextual information. Especially This suggests the existence of a path for information outside our lexicon to reach it. And of course, the structure of lexicon that includes this path must be elaborated.
