The Interrelationship between Grammatical and Semantic Properties of Adjectives

초록

The purpose of this paper is to understand the category of adjective properly by investigating the interrelationship between semantic and grammatical properties. The following respects–semantic difference according to position, meaning types and grammatical properties, distinguishing indicators between participial adjectives and verb participles, and syntactic and semantic characteristics according to adjectival complementation types–are dealt with in this study. As a result, it should be noted that we need to recognize the importance of the interaction between grammar, meaning, and lexical idiosyncrasy. The discussion of grammaticality without considering the lexical and semantic properties of adjectives has some limitations for proper understanding and use.
