This study is related to ontological structure dealing with the nature of existence. The established studies on English and Korean Adjectives have been mainly focused on syntactic and semantic characteristics regarding sentential structures. These help natural language to make good sense and be learned or used in daily life as well as in academic study. But such academic or daily linguistic knowledge can not give all the properties of adjectives in ontology-based structures, because they have different focuses. The established studies on adjectives are limited to academic or daily use, linguistic areas. while ontology-based structure should include all areas. Thus the purpose of this study is to consider the nature of adjectives, address their new characteristics needed for an ontology-based perspective, and determine their new classification, limited to the areas of English and Korean languages.
First, the linguistic nature of English and Korean adjectives have been explored through the studies of their syntactic and semantic features. As a result, English adjectives include modifiers, subcategorizing lexical properties, and structural positions as syntactic nature, and semantic subcategories in conformation with word order. Korean adjectives display several similar characteristics with intransitive verbs. These verbal properties are dissimilar from English adjectives due to the verbal usage of adjectives in Korean. Therefore the distinctive usage makes the studies on Korean adjective carried on with sentential frames, and also semantic properties or subcategories of Korean adjectives featured with sentential frames. Nevertheless, all these syntactic and semantic properties of English and Korean adjectives, as mentioned above, are restricted to each particular language. So other properties related to some subjects dealt with ontology-based structures should be determined.
For this reason, an experiment was conducted, where sensibility adjectives through visual information were collected through a survey, then filtered, and their adequacies were verified with the consistent disposition of the adjectives in line with similar properties from the visual data. The adjectives finally obtained from the experiment show the relationship between sensibility and visual information. Thus we can say that the sensibility adjectives indicate a model of the conceptual properties of a subject, visual information.
Third, the sensibility adjectives were surveyed in Korean and translated into English because their meanings are universal, as mentioned in the second chapter. The results were compared with the contents of established adjective subcategories. Here the fact that the sensibility adjectives are across several subcategories comes to the surface. It means that the established adjective results do not satisfy ontological structure.
As a result, in this study we suggest a new classification of English and Korean adjectives for an ontology-based perspective. The classification is explained from the ontological viewpoint by capturing lexical and sub-categorical crossing phenomena. In addition the classification helps to easily map the conceptual properties indicating the relationships between adjectives and subjects in the ontological structure. Hereafter the English data used in this study needs to be verified through a survey of native English-speaking people and on the real ontological map, in order to apply to the authentic ontology-based structure.
