Abstract

The distinction between main structure and side structure in discourse which was central to narrative studies has lacked an adequate. formal definition. This study supports the contention that there exists a hierarchical structure between discourse units constituting main structures, substructures, and side structures. The aim of this study is twofold: (j) to present an adequate. formal definition that provides a general identification criterion for distinguishing main structure from substructure and side structure proposed by Kuppevelt, and (jj) to propose conceptual relations representing hierarchical structures in discourse based on Sowa's Conceptual Structure Theory. The proposed conceptual relations which represent hierarchy and pragmatic relations of discourse segments are: DIGR (digression). T-SHFT (topic shift), and FRAM (frame). This s study shows pragmatic functions can be incorporated within CST in a systematic way.

과거 서술 연구 중심의 주구조와 부구조의 차이는 적절하고 형식적인 정의가 부족하다. 본 연구는 주구조, 하위 구조, 부구조를 구성하는 담화 단위사이에 계층구조가 존재함을 주장한다. 본 연구의 목적은 두 가지로 요약된다. 첫째, Kuppevelt가 제안한 주구조를 하위구조나 부구조와 구별하는 식별기준을 나타내는 형식적 정의를 제시한다. 둘째, 지식 표현 언어인 Sowa의 개념구조론의 체계 내에서 담화의 계층구조와 그 구조를 나타내는 언어적 표시인 담화표시의 예를 기술하는 방법을 제시한다. 개념관계로 일탈, 화제 전환, 틀의 관계를 설정하여 담화 내 계층구조와 담화부분과의 화용적인 관계를 규명하였다. 기존의 개념구조론은 선택적 제약, 조응 등의 의미론적인 개념들을 간결하고 정확하게 기술할 수 있었는데 화용론적인 측면의 기술도 가능함을 보여준다.
