ABSTRACT

From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, form and meaning of a language is motivated by language-independent factors. Drawing on this view, the purpose of this study is to make a pedagogical suggestion for teaching and learning word formation by focusing on meaning and function. Teaching word formation in class so far has mainly been focused on understanding the concept of word stems and affixes, and analysing words to classify the groups of simple, derived, and compound words from the perspective of structuralism, descriptive and generative linguistics. However, this trend of teaching-learning methodology does not seem to fit the objectives of current curriculum for Korean education, which emphasize ‘enforcing the spirit of the Korean language’ and ‘creative learning’. Even though the ‘New Contents of Revised Curriculum 2007’ puts the emphasis on the understanding of the word formation process and its creative use, the textbooks still adhesively show the viewpoint of structuralism without semantic concerns. To overcome this issue, this paper suggests a new teaching-learning model based on motivation with a consideration of meaning and function.
