Lexical Information of {bang} for Korean Language Education

The purpose of this study is to describe semantic distribution of noun {bang} [room] for Korean Language Learners. Korean noun {bang} belongs to the basic lexical items in Korean language. It is meaningful to discuss its lexical information for Korean Language Learners. It is also important to examine how Korean language users approach to the item in the appropriate contexts and how they extend its basic form and meaning. This study is based on the context and usage as we categorize the item's semantic features and context. As a result, we can find a structural frame such as {방}, {X1+방}, {X1+X2+방}, {방+X1}, {X1+방+X2}. We can find semantic types in our data such as, [livingspace], [space for a particular purpose], [space for a particular person], [cyberspace] and [space related to plants and animals]. That means Korean Language Users use the {bang} for referring to [space]. Korean Language Learners are able to learn the usage and construction of {bang} in system with this kind of lexical information what we suggested in this paper. This method may apply to other lexical information that contains different extended form.
