ABSTRACT

Son, Okhyun & Kim, Youngjoo. 2009. A Study on the connective endings functioning as final endings in Korean spoken language. Korean Semantics, 28. This study aims to analyze the usage of connective endings functioning as final endings in Korean spoken language in order to apply the results in the field of Korean language education. Some connective endings are used as final endings at the end of sentences especially in spoken language. The study made a list of connective endings functioning as final endings according to the condition, semantic reflection, and linguistic environments, and examined their frequency in drama scripts and the spoken language corpus data of 21 Century Sejong project. The data was objectively analyzed in adjacent discourse pairs depending upon variables such as gender, age, and close relationship between interlocutors. In addition, listening comprehension of Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) was examined to see how the usage of connective endings is structured. This study investigated the usage of connective endings functioning as final endings in the perspective of language pedagogy in order to contribute to design Korean textbooks and teaching materials to enhance communicative competence of Korean language learners.
