체계기능언어학의 논리적 은유와 접속어미를 대체하는 다단어 표현의 관계

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this article is to explain the relationship between Korean conjunctions and the multiword expressions they metaphorize in terms of logical metaphors. Methods Logical metaphor is one of the grammatical metaphors of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). In SFL, when clauses and clauses combine to form a complex clause, the semantic relation between the two clauses is called the logical-semantic relations, which include ‘expansion’ and ‘projection’. Among them, conjunctions are a representative form in which the meaning of expansion is realized. However, in Korean, there are also multi-word expressions that can replace these conjunctions. The relationship between conjunctions and the multiword expressions that replace them is explained in this paper as a congruent expression vs. an incongruent expression that logically metaphorizes it (metaphor type). The specific steps were as follows (1) We collected and organized all lists of conjunctions from previous studies; (2) We collected and organized expressions that replace conjunctions regardless of their name; and (3) We subcategorized them based on logical metaphors. Results The results of this study showed that there are a total of 80 metaphor types related to conjunctive meaning in Korean. These were further divided into logical metaphor types and logical idiomatic types (dead metaphors). In the former, the congruent and incongruent(metaphor) are coupled with a same meaning. However, in the latter, the semantic coupling between the congruent and metaphorical types had been lost, but the logical meaning of the conjunctive is still retained. Conclusions In this paper, we have explained the difference between congruent and incongruent(metaphorical) in terms of different lexico-grammatical realizations of the same meaning. However, we have seen that they are not strictly equivalent, and that the verbatim meaning of the non-concordant (metaphorical) expressions can be added to the shared meaning with the concordant expression.
