ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to study the using patterns of coherence devices to secure the cohesion of texts in relation to the appearing and disappearing of subject in Chinese writing texts by Koreans have advanced Chinese level. This paper divided the coherence devices into five kinds such as ‘Reference, Substitution, Ellipsis, Conjunction, Lexical Coherence’. Lexical Coherence is classified as homotype reiteration, partial homotype reiteration, synonym and generic term. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, in Chinese writing text, Koreans mainly use lexical coherence such as homotype reiteration, partial homotype reiteration with respect to subject appearance, and occasionally use reference and substitution. Second, in Chinese writing text, Koreans mainly use progressive ellipsis or author ellipsis in relation to the disappearance of subject, occasionally use general ellipsis or dialogic ellipsis, and rarely use regressive ellipsis. Third, the most prevalent principle of appearing subject in writing text is the meaning response of subject and predicate. If the subject of a predicate in a sentence is different from that of a predicate in other sentence, if the subject of the predicate is different from the subject of the nested clause, if the subject of the predicate is different from that of a predicate in a complex sentence, the subject must appear. However, Koreans often fail to make proper use of the subject corresponding to each predicate. Fourth, even though the subject of the predicate in the front and back sentences is the same and has already appeared in the context, if there is a distance between them and there are other interference terms in the middle, communication with the reader may not be smooth, so it is preferable to make the subject appear.
