Abstract

This study aimed to explore the grammaticalization of the postpositions -ey tayhay and -ey kwanhay. These two Korean postpositions are derived from verbs which are of Sino-Korean origin. Since they are derived from verbs, their meanings are transparent (V-adpositions, Heine 1997). Still, the postpositions allow the insertion of other morphemes at the end of their construction; thus, they are in the early grammaticalization stage and show the correlated changes suggested by Traugott (2013). The correlated principles and mechanisms captured in the two postpositions will be explained. By using a corpus, we will compare differences in frequency between the two postpositions as well. Also, English prepositions that have a relational meaning like the above mentioned Sino-Korean postpositions will be discussed to show the relationship between a source meaning and a target meaning.

主题指示后置的语法化:Tayhay和Kwanhay

本研究旨在探讨-ey tayhay和-ey kwanhay后置的语法化。这两个朝鲜语后置是由汉语-朝鲜语的动词演变而来的。由于它们来源于动词，它们的意义是透明的(v形副词，Heine 1997)。然而，后置词允许在其结构的末尾插入其他语素;因此，它们处于早期语法化阶段，并显示出Traugott(2013)提出的相关变化。将解释在这两种位置中捕获的相关原理和机制。通过使用语料库，我们也将比较两种后置的频率差异。此外，本文还将讨论具有关联意义的英语介词，如上述的中韩后置，以显示源意义和目的意义之间的关系。
