The traditional diachronic treatment of the Korean honorific marker LsupL is that was originally used as a referent from subject’s point view. It then underwent changes to become speaker-addressee-oriented (S-A) marker. Diverging this approach, I claim, based on large-scale corpus-based study, speaker-oriented early fifteenth century. To account for Lsup- ’s function change, posit three stages evolution modern usage . In Stage (fifteenth century), establish an relation between speaker and...

This article focuses on the conceptual structures of Korean Multiple Object Constructions (MOCs), which exhibit various types meanings. I argue that these meanings are systematically explained when we adopt notion reference point. claim accusative-marked nominals in constructions metonymically connected; outer function as points. More specifically, NP1, schematic configuration [NP-Nom [NP1-Acc [NP2-Acc [PRED]]]], functions a point relation to complex verb [NP2-PRED], where NP1 provides...

This article provides an analysis of Korean adverbial case constructions from a Cognitive Grammar viewpoint. I argue that nominative-marked adverbials are the result setting-subject construal adverbial. Accusative-marked adverbials, then, construed as location, which is part setting. also notion associated with imperfective given situation in conjunction subject’s lower degree topicality. Conversely, locational interpretation tied to perfective and higher topicality subject.

This article examines how Korean verbal nouns are construed as either a noun or verb in given context. By adopting Langacker's Cognitive Grammar (CG) and its technical apparatus, I argue that the two types of case patterns arise due to different construals same content. More specifically, when is thing (noun), it needs be nominally grounded full nominal. The genitive-case pattern constructions motivated by need for this grounding. contrast, process (verb), clausally tense clause. For purpose...

This article examines three types of Korean constructions: case stacking and two non-nominative subject constructions. Relying on an independently established descriptive construct known as reference-point, I argue that the complex forms these constructions reflect their meanings functions. further reference-point-based analysis offers a unified account substantial range phenomena when it is combined with notion conceptual constructional blending. In providing technical analyses phenomena,...

This article analyzes the Korean [X-ko iss-ta] construction from perspective of construal-based semantics, where speaker’s choice and grammatical context play an important role. The exhibits ambiguity between Progressive Resultant meanings. I argue that reading is associated with accomplishment construal construction, while achievement construal. further this type alternative motivated by granularity observed ubiquitously in our everyday language. In terms function - ko iss -, it segments...

Diet-related disparities that have often been observed in vulnerable families may play a negative role children's health and health-related quality of life. In South Korea, an afterschool care policy, called Community Childcare Center (CCC), was established the 1960s to protect educate children; this has expanded provide meal services recent times. Therefore, CCCs' food environment become pivotal platform for observing nutrition disparities. Using mixed-methods approach including survey with...

Abstract This article develops an analysis of event/result nominals and gerundives from a Cognitive Grammar perspective. By reviewing the previous research, we first point out that these phenomena are much more flexible than extant research claims. Moreover, widely accepted generalizations concerning are, at best, only partially true. We demonstrate said flexibility is ascribed to two different types construals: [1] mass-like construal accompanied by reification [2] zone-activation or...

Rethinking the teaching of grammar from perspective corpus linguistics in Korean.Linguistic Research 36(1

Recently, in the field of teaching English, some researchers have used qualitative inquiry (QI) as main tool investigation. Although QI is...

Abstract This article addresses the hitherto neglected topic of Korean Nominative Object Construction (NOC) within Cognitive Grammar (CG) framework. In NOC, schematically illustrated as [N-NOM N-NOM PSYCH-PRED], second NP behaves like a direct object. While construction has puzzled many researchers in different languages, and sizable amount research exists, relatively little attention been paid to Korean. It is worth noting that findings made extant generative-linguistic – including on...

Abstract This article aims to develop a Cognitive Grammar (CG) analysis of three grammatical constructions in Korean, all which employ the bound noun kes . The data under examination includes Factive, Internally Headed Relative Clause (IHRC), and Cleft constructions. We propose uniform treatment types by arguing that it denotes schematic profiles thing (noun) has some role process adnominal clause. Different interpretations these arise due different conceptualizations involved each instance....

Abstract This article aims to develop an analysis of scrambling or word order variation in Korean from a pragmatic/cognitive perspective. Although extensive research has been carried out on this issue, most extant attempts provide analyses the phenomenon by identifying grammatical features posited for syntactic operations. Unlike previous research, we demonstrate that needs be understood with respect its communicative function; it is motivated speaker’s intention convey information more...

Abstract This article aims to develop a cognitive-functional analysis of the Korean inferential cleft construction (ICC) by identifying two motivations. It is demonstrated that ICC must be understood as mechanism improve coherence and relevance in text; it first foremost motivated establish relationships between preceding context event denoted subordinate clause headed kes . By pointing out attempts ascertain concrete meanings are bound futile, we argue various exhibits arise mapping onto...
