ABSTRACT

This study proposed a change in the direction of Korean language education on vagueness in terms of viewing vagueness as a natural language attribute and communication strategy. The point of the proposal is that the various semantic functions of vagueness should be incorporated into the educational content. Chapter 2 sets the foundation for educational discussion by clarifying the conceptual domain of vagueness and describing its core semantic functions. We discussed that vagueness is a dynamic concept that occurs in communication situations, and that its fundamental function is 'extension of interpretable scope'. In addition, it was emphasized that 'expanding the interpretable range' plays a role in leading communication to various forms by influencing the establishment of relationships between expressors and receptors, the main agents of communication. Chapter 3 reflected on the current status of Korean language education on vagueness and proposed that the contents of education limited to the "accuracy" layer should be expanded to the "appropriateness and validity" level. Chapter 4 presents various semantic functions in which vagueness is expressed in conjunction with the context of communication, focusing on the syntax of dependent noun 'Deung', and presents detailed goals that Korean language education can take in each aspect. The above discussion is significant in that it pointed out the limitations of traditional Korean language education, which has been dealing only with vagueness as a negative factor that impairs 'accuracy', and proposed a more extended educational perspective.
