Research Abstract

For the purpose of solving the two problems of the previous studies in the field of lexical semantics, this research makes a proposal for the systematic use of Qualia Structure (Pustejovsky 1995), which focuses mainly on the Formal role. In addition, the investigation of verbalization of cause and effect leads to a possibility of forensic linguistic study in the future.
