영어 동사 bear의 의미에 대한 인지적 분석

Abstract

Formal grammar, which had been the dominant paradigm in the 1960s, distinguishes the knowledge of language from cognitive competence. However, in the early 1970s, Cognitive Grammar appeared as a linguistic model in opposition to formal grammar. Langacker (1987) has significantly developed Cognitive Grammar since that time. In Cognitive Grammar, the linguistic structure is a direct reflex of cognition. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the meanings of the verb bear within the frame of Cognitive Grammar. For this purpose, I will show the images of the verb bear and its extended meanings in spatial and metaphorical domains. The organization of this thesis is as follows: in Chapter 1, I mention the purpose, the organization, and the effect of the thesis. In Chapter 2, I present Kim (2000) and Lee's (1995) previous studies and the weaknesses of those studies. I think that those previous studies will facilitate a better understanding of this thesis. In Chapter 3, I will posit the base meaning from various meanings of the verb bear and show how this base meaning is extended spatially and metaphorically. In Chapter 4, I analyze the meanings of the verb bear in the phrasal verbs, showing how the verb bear and particles are associated through various schemata. In Chapter 5, I compare the verb bear with the verb carry and show the cognitive association of the two verbs. I hope that this thesis will have a positive effect on other studies about English verbs.
