Frame의 양상과 적용에 관한 연구 = (A) Study on Some Aspects of Frame and its Application

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine some aspects of cognitive model, 'frame', which exist in our mind. This study is based on one of empirical semantics which is an approach to language that depends on our experience of the world and the way we perceive and conceptualize it. The results of this study are as follows;
First, the concept of frame, one of the empirical semantics, introduced by Charles J. Fillmore, is a particular way of looking at word meanings, as well as a way of characterizing principle for assembling the meanings of elements in a text into total meaning of the text. From the perspective of frame semantics, words represent categorizations of experience and each of these categories underlies a motivating situation occurring against a background of knowledge and experience. In order to understand any word, we have to understand what reason a speech community might have found for creating the category represented by the word. In frame semantics word focuses on the internal meaning involved in the sum of the people's experiences and the ground of social institution, practices, history rather than dictionary's meaning of formal semantics. But all the words are not framed in the same way. Each of word groups has different modes that are framed by given scenes, social practice, specific situation, history, etc.
Second, the semantics of understanding, at the base of which is the concept of the interpretive frame, provides a general account of the relation between linguistic texts and the process and products of their interpretation. Compared to formal semantics which focuses on the judgement of truth, frame semantics intends to understand the text's context by means of reasoning and cognitive structure. In other words, formal semantics merely shows us a judgement of truth on sentences, but frame semantics gives much more information involved in context. In semantics of understanding which makes a critical use of interpretative frames, a text's context is guided by linguistically encoded categories which presuppose particular structured understanding of cultural institutions, beliefs about the world, shared experiences. That is done not by two-valued logic but by the intuitive judgement. A concrete example is the proposition for truth and negation with frame interaction. Through this way, we can find the possibility that a sentence can be interpreted as having several meanings in the context, besides the judgement of truth. Another definite example is the presupposition. The formal semantics does not accept the notion of the presupposition and tries to explain the phenomena through pragmatics or entailments. But the semantics of understanding gives a phenomena the proper explanation using the framing structure.
In conclusion, the notion of frame is essential for understanding of words' meanings and text's context. And understanding of semantics based on the frame provide a natural program for examining lexical meaning, for determining and displaying the semantic import of grammatical constructions, and for making sense of the process of text understanding. It makes all of these possible in a way which supports intuitively satisfying accounts of truth and presupposition.
