Abstract

This paper formally describes the meaning of Korean auxiliary verbs in terms of Conceptual Graph (CG), which is suggested by Sowa and attains the international standards. The paper surveys the CG on modality and aspect in English, and investigates Korean auxiliary verbs syntactically and semantically. For the description of Korean auxiliary verbs based on CG, we first collect 40 Korean auxiliary verbs and example sentences from papers and a Korean dictionary. Next, we perform the analysis of the Korean auxiliary verbs through a classification : perfective, progressive, benefactive, attemptive, emphatic, desirable, retentive, and presumptive. Finally, we depict the eight meanings based on CG. In the experiment, we write the eight meanings in the KIF form that is similar to LISP, the programming language of artificial intelligence. We also implement the program that translates sentences included in Korean auxiliary verbs into CG in C . Therefore, CG, with which the concepts and relations of all categories in the sentences represent all meaning relations of the natural language, is appropriate to express various meanings of Korean auxiliary verbs.
