语义学视角下的韩国语语法歧义性研究

Semantic Approaches to Grammatical Ambiguities in Korean

语法歧义是由于句子成分的构造或关系而引起的歧义。韩国语语法歧义包括句子成分歧义、语法关系歧义和否定范围歧义三种。其中,语法关系歧义又可分为对等关系歧义、从属关系歧义、修饰关系歧义以及双重语法关系歧义四类。由于歧义造成的语义混乱给人们的沟通带来障碍,甚至会导致交流的失败。因此,有必要寻找多种方法来消除歧义。根据语法歧义的不同特点,可以通过"依靠上下文""添加格助词""添加副词""调整语序""明确‘?’"以及"转换句型"等六种方法来消除歧义。

Grammatical ambiguity is the result of ambiguous sentence structures or constituent relations. Grammatical ambiguity in Korean results from the structures of sentences or from the grammatical relations between different constituents within a sentence. Grammatical ambiguity also occurs when the scope of negation is not clear. Four grammatical relations may lead to ambiguity in Korean： equivalence, subordination, modifcation, and dual-relation. Ambiguity sometimes hinders the interpretation of sentence meaning, thus leading to diffculty in or even failure of communication. Therefore, disambiguity is called for. Elimination of ambiguity in Korean includes depending on the context, adding auxiliaries, adding adverbs, changing sentence orders, clarifying, and changing sentence patterns.
