형태이론의 변천과 보충법

초록

This article surveys the development of morphological theories in the tradition of generative grammar. Outlines of the three major theories are presented: (1) the standard theory, i.e., the early period of generative grammar (Chomsky 1965, Chomsky and Halle 1968), (2) the lexicalist hypothesis (Halle 1973, Kiparsky 1982 among others) and (3) distributed morphology (Halle and Marantz 1993). Surveying these frameworks, particular emphasis is placed on the status of lexicon and on the place of morphological and morphophonological operations in conjunction with the syntactic component. Negative suppletion and honorific suppletion in Korean are employed to present superiority of distributed morphology. Adopting the separation hypothesis and post-syntactic insertion of phonological features, distributed morphology presents more plausible and consistent derivation and analysis of such a form as an-kje-si- for [[+neg][EXIST]][+hon], i.e., the negative and honorific exponent for the verb is’- ‘exist’, which exhibits both negative suppletion and honorific suppletion.
