영어중첩어의 의미론적 분석

The aim of this paper is to suggest an alternative semantic analysis for the reduplications in English. The semantic functions of the reduplications have been analyzed in Horn scale and prototype analyses. Revising the proposal of Lee and Song (2011), we suggest that the prototypical concepts of the reduplications can be analyzed in the dichotomy of prototype/non-proto type. We argue that the meaning of some reduplicative adjectives can be identified by way of the notion of contextual prototype or dynamic prototype, rather than the notion of static prototype.
