ABSTRACT

This paper is to analyze discourses of spoken language in order to deliberate the practical forms of the responses which express thankful feelings. The different types of responses were analyzed through discourse analysis under official and private situations. The context and frequency have been researched to find the forms of responses. As a result, the most frequently used responses to express thankful feelings were ‘Repeat type’ which occupies about 46% out of total 449 times. The second, ‘Other greeting type’ which includes diverse recognizing words as responses occupies about 17%. The third, ‘Answer avoidance type’ occupies about 15%. These three types of responses occupy almost 78% of total which appears very high frequency. And ‘Modesty type’ and ‘No response type’ occupy about 16%, and ‘Acceptance type’ occupies about 6%. Like the above, through this analysis research, it turned out that various responses are being used according to discourse contexts as well as ones in ‘Modesty type’ which is suggested as general expressions to present thankful feelings in KFL textbooks.
