AB - Panther and Thornburg (2002) observed that the seemingly heterogeneous -er nominals in English are closely related to each other. Following the lead of Panther and Thornburg (2002), the paper analyses Korean -i suffixation from the cognitive perspective and compares it with English -er suffixation. The Korean -i suffix shows parallel behaviors to the English -er suffix in that they both prototypically mean a human agent and the prototypical meaning is extended to nonhuman agents, to instruments, and even to events. Diverse meanings of -i nominals are shown to be closely related to each other when examined with the analytical tools in cognitive linguistics, just like the meanings of English -er nominals. The comparable behavior of the two different morphemic units in the typologically unrelated languages reveals that there are cross-linguistic similarities in the function of human cognition. The result also shows that metaphor and metonymy work at a word level as well as a sentential level.

초록

Panther and Thornburg (2002) observed that the seemingly heterogeneous -er nominals in English are closely related to each other. Following the lead of Panther and Thornburg (2002), the paper analyses Korean -i suffixation from the cognitive perspective and compares it with English -er suffixation. The Korean -i suffix shows parallel behaviors to the English -er suffix in that they both prototypically mean a human agent and the prototypical meaning is extended to nonhuman agents, to instruments, and even to events. Diverse meanings of -i nominals are shown to be closely related to each other when examined with the analytical tools in cognitive linguistics, just like the meanings of English -er nominals. The comparable behavior of the two different morphemic units in the typologically unrelated languages reveals that there are cross-linguistic similarities in the function of human cognition. The result also shows that metaphor and metonymy work at a word level as well as a sentential level.
