‘ㅅ’ 전치 명사와 ‘ㅅ’ 후치 명사 -그 목록과 형태 의미론적 설명의 가능성-

초록

Among the nouns that constitute compound nouns, there are some that take ‘s(ㅅ)’ in the N2 position and in the N1 position without exception. The categorization of these nouns into the lexical classes of ‘s(ㅅ)’ prefixed nouns and ‘s(ㅅ)’ suffixed nouns is one of the notable achievements in the history of research on ‘Sai-Sori’. However, the lists are inaccurate, and the research did not expand to provide a grammatical account of why these nouns take ‘s(ㅅ)’ in the N2 position and in the N1 position. Using the compound nouns listed in the Standard Korean Language Dictionary as primary data, this study presents lists of ‘s(ㅅ)’ prefixed nouns (35 items) and list of ‘s(ㅅ)’ suffixed nouns (28 items). Furthermore, this study argues that a morpho-semantic explanation of ‘Sai-Sori’ based on semantic relations can also account for ‘Sai-Sori’ insertion of ‘s(ㅅ)’ prefixed nouns and ‘s(ㅅ)’ suffixed nouns. This is supported by examining compound nouns whose N2 or N1 are polysemy, compound nouns whose N2 or N1 are semantically similar, and exceptions to ‘Sai-Sori’ insertion.
