Abstract

Cognitive Grammar suggests that trajector/landmark organization provides the conceptual basis for the grammatical notions subject and that object appling the knowledge of attention (the metaphor of spotlignt) to trajector/landmark organization. It has been generally accepted that trajector/landmark organization corresponds to figure/ground organization, but there seems to be no authentic ground for this idea. Furthermore, we are now facing new theories of attention that is able to fix the problems of spotlight theory. The research of Attention has made noticeable progress since shullman et al's(1979) spotlight theory. It has been viewed within Feature Integration Theory (Treisman and Gelade 1980), as an object-based phenomenon (duncan 1984), and as Biased Competition (Desimone and Duncan 1995). This study attempts to apply the refined knowledge of attention theories to the subject phenomenon of Korean Grammar. The primary result reveals that '-nun' marks endogenous attention and '-ka' marks exogenous attention. It sounds plausible that the distinction between endogenous and exogenous attention is marked by grammatical organization, because within the framework of Cognitive Grammar, grammar is symbolic, and not distinct from semantics, but rather incorporates semantics as one of its two (semantic and phonological) poles.
