의미 형성의 기반이 되는 유연성 원리로서의 배의성

초록

Language has been created with one of two properties; Arbitrariness and Motivation. Most of case in a language, a word has property of arbitrariness, however, not for all. It is because property of Natural iconicity also exists in some words. Thus, in this thesis, we will classify words into “the arbitrary simple words” with arbitrariness and “the motivative simple words” with motivation according to the property which each word has had. And we will call a principle related to create the motivative simple words, the first principle of motivation, which is effected by a condition of similarity. A word or a morpheme, having property of arbitrariness or being applied the first principle of motivation, has been considered as semantic iconicity while people have used it for a long time. As a result of using Linguistic expression for a long, people turn to believe that there is something to do with an inevitable characteristic between formation and a meaning of a word, and then feel a nuance and have a preference of the word or the morpheme. We can find this fact not just in a Korean name preferred, such as ‘Ah-Ram’ or ‘Ah-Reum’, also in a name of a place, a company or a product. We name this fact that a word or a morpheme has had a nuance and preference by people, ‘motivative compound.’ Therefore, the motivative compound is relevant to the second principle of motivation and this happens after a word or a morpheme had been affected by the first principle of motivation. The motivative compound can be divided into morphological motivative compound and meaningful motivative compound. The morphological motivative compound is such as a derivative word, a compound word, etc. and meaningful motivative compound expresses itself in a word with many meanings and acoustical changes in a word. The old information and new information has been combined to make a meaning in the morphological motivative compound so that people can recognize a meaning of a word. To sum up, the principle of motivation is inevitable of all principles to create a meaning in language and the motivative compound is one of the ways to apply motivation, which is also inevitable.
