Jiae Kim & Youngjun Lee. 2015. “A Study of Instructional Design in Teaching Korean Speaking Based on the Cognitive Apprenticeship Theory: focused on the intermediate Korean language learner for academic purpose”. Korean Semantics, 48. This article aims at developing teaching method of Korean speaking for academic purpose. For the successful performance of academic work Korean learners need communicative competence as well as creative and logical thinking skills. This emphasize the adoption of the cognitive apprenticeship theory in the curriculum. Process-based instruction and mutual cooperation establish the foundation of this theory. In this education could be included such methods as modelling, coaching, scaffolding, and fading. The special course based on these methods was developed and had considerable effect on constructing discourse. First of all, foreign learners acquired the ability to plan a strategy leading to speaking logically. The teacher’s coaching and interaction between peers made easy to create new ideas and organize frame for logical text.

Yi, Miji. 2015. Study on the meaning and use of ‘-kumeon/ -kuman’. Korean Semantics, 48. ‘-kumeon' and ‘-kuman' are exclamatory sentence endings in Korean language. Usually exclamatory sentence endings share similar meanings and contexts so there have been many studies which aimed to distinguish the meanings and use of the exclamatory endings. However, ‘-kumeon' and ‘-kuman' are considered to have distinguishing characteristics in the relationship of speaker and listener and to show low frequency of use compared to other exclamatory endings, and also ‘-kuman' is usually treated as a wrong variation of ‘-kumeon', so their meanings and functions have received little attention from the researchers so far. However, this study noted that ‘-kuman' is widely used in the spoken language and it shows distinctive features from ‘-kumeon' in meaning and use. Therefore, this study analysed the usage of ‘-kumeon' and ‘-kuman' utilizing the corpus of spoken Korean language and tried to identify the meanings and use of them. The following are main findings from the corpus analysis. Firstly, ‘-kumeon' and ‘-kuman' share the same meaning which is ‘perception or realization of a new fact' but ‘-kuman' is more widely used in the spoken language. Secondly, ‘-kuman' is usually used among young people while ‘-kumeon' is used among older people. Lastly, ‘-kuman' has an additional meaning which is ‘contrast' and in this case ‘-kuman' is used to express a contrast of preceding clause and following clause or to show speaker's contrary view against the listener's.

Doh, Jae Hak. 2015. On the differences among periphrastic constructions that denote a progressive aspect in Korean. Korean Semantics, 48. This paper aims to search periphrastic constructions that denote a progressive aspect in Korean and to investigate the properties and differences of these constructions; ①[Verb-고 있-(Pre)FinalEnding], ②[V-고 계시-(P)FE], ③[V-고 앉았-(P)FE], ④[V-고 자빠졌-(P)FE] and ⑤[V-는 중이-(P)FE]. From the point of view of Construction Grammar, internal and external characteristics of these constructions are analyzed. Then the meanings of constituents of each construction are considered as internal characteristics. And Aktionsart(lexical aspect) of preceding verb and grammatical properties such as addressee honorific and sentence type of following ending are considered as external characteristics. Finally, these are visualized by way of semantic map. In summary, ①[V-고 있-(P)FE] is unmarked construction that covers the most wide functional domains. ②[V-고 계시-(P)FE] has a restriction on [-respect] addressee honorific style such as Hage style, Haera style and Hae style in proposative sentence, and is incompatible with Haera style in imperative sentence. ③[V-고 앉았-(P)FE], ④[V-고 자빠졌-(P)FE] and ⑤[V-는 중이-(P)FE] are not able to co-occur with proposative sentence and imperative sentence without reference to any addressee honorific.
