| Popis: | 紀要論文 In this study, we performed semantic analysis of the Japanese polysemous verb “HIKU” and we tried to elaborate its semantic description, focusing on four issues of polysemous word semantic analysis. As a result, the following points were clarified. 1) Based on the most concrete and unmarked sentences of “HIKU”, the prototype meaning can be identified as “a person moves things toward himself”. 2) There are 20-word meanings of “HIKU” which were identified using the method of combining the related words and cases. The case types in the semantic description include “Agent”, “Instrument”, “Patient”, “Result of the change of Patient”, “Source” and “Goal”. 3) Multiple word meanings of “HIKU” are related with the prototypical meaning by metaphorical and metonymic connections and they form a radial category. In addition, the moving of the Focus of the Profile results in several special uses such as “Result Object”, “Instrument Object”, “Source Object”, “Route Object”, “Instrument Subject” and the intransitive uses. |
