Title: A SemanticFramebased Comparative Pilot Study GermanKorean
1
A Semantic-Frame-based
Comparative Pilot Study
German-Korean
2
Aims
- To construct a bilingual Lexicon based on
- database entries of English lexical units
and - those German and Korean translation
- equivalents and corpus examples
- To create a electronic resources as hyper-
- lexicon using XML, XSLT and Hypertext
- To put the hyper-lexicon as teaching and
- learing material into the practice namely
into - German and Korean language courses
3
Data
- Lexical units of Commercial Transaction and
Motion frames - Source of Corpus examples
- - parallel texts of Korean novel and its
German - translation
- - parallel texts of Aesops fabels ca. 20
texts - - on-line newspapers
- - 10 empirical dialogs spoken by German and
- Korean native speakers in audio recordings
4
The Method
- Using Semantic-Frame and FrameNet Database
- Mapping English lexical units to German and
Korean and identifying German and Korean
translation equivalents in the corpus-examples - Capturing the valence realization patterns
between German and Korean and those differences
and commonalities
5
Translation equivalents across multiple frames
of a lexical unit
- Exmaple1 walk in the Self_Motion frame and its
German (Boas 2002) and Korean equivalents - - Kim walkedTgt to
the store. - - Kim gingTgt zum
Geschäft. - - self-mover?? ??? ????Tgt.
- Lexical semantics of walk, gehen, ???? and those
morphosyntactic realization of goal - - English V (Manner) Preposition (to)
Construction - - German V (Manner) Preposition (zu)
Construction - - Korean V-V compound combining a manner
verb ?? - with a path verb ??
locational argument as - a goal with postposition ?.
6
- Example2 walk in the Motion_Cotheme frame and
its German and Korean equivalents - - Kim walkedTgt
Pat - to the door.
- - Kim begleiteteTgt
Pat - zur Tür.
- - ?? ??
??? - ??? ???Tgt
7
Semantic Combinatorial Restriction
- Semantic compatibility between honorific (polite)
verbs and those direct objects. - - ?? ?????
??? - ??? ?? Tgt
- (Kim walked the grandfather to the
door.) - - ?? ?????
??? - ??? ???Tgt
- - Some other neutral and honorific verbs
- ?? (give) ???, ?? (ask) - ??? etc.

Empirical Data Analysis
- Motivation
- Is there different language expression between
Korean and German in terms of culture-specific
factors like as social politeness,
directness/indirectness, ages, avoiding conflict,
collectivism/individualism etc.? - Setting up a scenario and assigning a task to
- testperson
- - Flea Market Situation
- - Assigning roles to testperson Buyer and
Seller - - Task for the buyer buying a birthday gift
for the - mother with 5 Euro / 5000 Won
9
Central Sequences of Flea Market Situation
- Getting in contact
- - (mutually) greeting, saying the intension of
buying something - Getting information about offer
- Asking price
- Having a short-time respite for decision-making
- Haggling price
- Realization of transaction
- - payment
- Completing conversation
- - Thank you, good luck, saying goodbye
10
Tasks of Analysis
- Is there actually any culture-specific
prototypical - frame structure to be identified in the
corpus- - examples?
- - Example
- To haggle (price) is a main part of
commercial - transaction conversation in Korean
- Do culture factors have influence on choosing
- words that evoke different frames cross-
- linguistically?
- How different are the types of frame-elements
- of the selected words realized in the
empirical - spoken data?
11
- Rejecting indirectly the offer
- Examples
- - giving a clear answer
- Das ist zu teuer / ?? ??? (Its too
expensive) - Das gefällt mir nicht. (I dont like it)
- - avoiding a decison-making
- Hum/Hä ?
- Ich überlege es mir / ??? ??? (Ill think
it over) - - making an excuse
- ??? ?? ???? (I am sorry for just looking
around) - - lying not to offend the seller
- ??? ??? ?? ? ??? (This is good but I
prefer that)
