ABSTRACT

In this study, the counseling conversation between the counselor and the client was analyzed and the meaning of sentence ending according to the position and role of the conversation participant was examined. In addition, how participants’ strategies are reflected in the use of sentence endings are examined. A total of 34 conversation counseling materials were collected and transferred in this study. As a result, a total of 6,616 sentences and 23,300 tokens were analyzed The discussion mainly focused on the usage pattern of the endings, and the results are as follows. First, the respondent P1 and the consultant P2 intentionally use the sentence endings. Second, P1 uses formal endings and informal endings for problem solving of P2. Third, because of the characteristics of the genre of counseling conversation, P1 uses the integrated form with ‘- 실까요?’. This intentionally carries out indirect speech act. Fourth, P2 tries to avoid direct expression of its own mistakes in problem description at the stage of problem description. P2 uses the ‘--거든요’ and ‘-ㄴ데요’ that have the meaning function of ‘reason’. Finally, P2 uses ‘-죠’, which has the meaning of ‘confirmation’, to achieve the communication purpose of ‘problem solving’.
