본 논문은 ‘형용사+게’ 부사어가 문장 의미 구성에 있어 어떤 역할을 하는지 살핀 논의이다. ‘형용사+게’가 문장 의미 구성에 있어 주목할 만한 이유는 이들이 문장에서 다양한 의미 기능을 갖고 중의성을 유발하고 있기 때문이다. 본고는 문장을 구성하는 성분들이 전체로서의 사건과 상관관계를 맺으며 의미 기능을 갖는다는 관점을 토대로 ‘형용사+게’가 가지는 의미 기능을 밝혔다. 이를 통해 밝혀진 ‘형용사+게’의 의미 기능은 다음과 같다. 첫째, ‘형용사+게’는 형용사가 가지는 서술성을 유지하고 있기 때문에 그것이 가지는 대상(theme) 논항이 무엇인지에 따라 두 가지 의미 기능을 갖는다. 가능한 대상 논항은 그 문장이 의미하는 사건과 그 사건을 구성하는 개체이다. 둘째, 그 문장이 의미하는 사건을 대상 논항으로 취하는 경우, ‘형용사+게’는 그 사건의 방식 등을 표상한다. 셋째, 그 문장이 의미하는 사건의 구성 요소를 대상 논항으로 취하는 경우, ‘형용사+게’는 그 문장이 의미하는 사건과 인과의 의미 관계를 갖는 상태를 표상한다. 넷째, 종래 결과적 해석을 갖는 ‘형용사+게’의 출현 조건은 ‘형용사’의 의미나 해당 문장의 동사의 의미에 의한 것이라고 보았으나 이들은 결과적 해석에 대해 제약을 가할 수 없었다. 이들 의미 기능의 출현 조건은 문장이 의미하는 사건과 상태 간의 인과 관계이다.

Sentence Meaning Construction of ‘Adjective+ge’ Adverbials [Yim, Chae-Hun]‘형용사+게’ 부사어의 문장 의미 구성 [임채훈] This paper was studied about semantic functions of ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials. Since ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials have various semantic functions at sentence meaning constructions, we must take notice of them. We have the view that sentence meanings were generated and interpreted through interaction between events and constitutes. So semantic functions of constitutes are determined by interactions of event. In accordance with this view, ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials have following semantic functions. First, since these adverbials support their predications, they have two functions according to whose theme arguments they have. Possible theme arguments are events and constitutes of the event. Second, in case ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials have theme argument as the event, they represented manners of the events. Third, in case ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials have theme argument as the constitute of event, they represented a state that have causal relation of the event. So only constitutes that have causal interpretations can be theme arguments of ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials. Fourth, according to precedent studies, ‘adjective+ge’ adverbials that have resultive interpretations can appear at sentences on condition of particular verbs and adjectives. But this is not fact. The causal relations between event that the sentence represented and state that the ‘constitute+adjective’ represented are the true constraint condition.
