A video signal processing method comprises the steps of: receiving information for prediction of a current block; determining whether or not a merge mode is applied to the current block on the basis of the information for prediction; when a merge mode is applied to the current block, obtaining a first syntax element indicating whether or not a combined prediction is applied to the current block, wherein the combined prediction indicates a prediction mode that combines inter-prediction and intra-prediction; generating an inter-prediction block and an intra-prediction block of the current block when the first syntax element indicates that the combined prediction is applied to the current block; and generating a combined prediction block of the current block by weighted-summing the inter-prediction block and the intra-prediction block.
