Lee, HyunKeun. “On English binomial and it’s Korean correspondence.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.1 (2011): 299-318. This paper examines the English binomials and their Korean correspondences semantically and conceptually. We focus on the A-and-B type binomial forms and found two things. First of all, the coordinate conjunction ‘and’ in English binomial is usually deleted in Korean translated one. The first reason for that is the different writing systems between two languages. But more importantly, the second reason is that this phenomenon reflects Proximity principle, which is “the closer the relations are, the less words are used”. Secondly, the word order of binomial is usually same in both languages, but there are significant reverse orders. This means that the conceptualization process is not same in both languages.
