ABSTRACT

The directive speech act is a speech act that instructs and requires a listener to act and can have a great influence on the formation of human relationships. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore and compare the directive speech act pattern that appears between Korean textbooks and Korean native speakers for the development of Korean learners' correct communication skills. This study newly defined the concept and category of directive behavior in the 'psychological authority of the speaker', and based on this, directive behavior that appeared in three kinds of Korean textbooks was extracted. In addition, a Description Completion Test (DCT) was designed to ask Korean native speakers to write what kind of ending they would actually use to speak in the context of the command shown in the textbook. As a result, it was found that various expressions were technically used in Korean textbooks, but depending on the situation and variables of various psychological authority, actual Korean native speakers preferred to use basic commands and indirectly performed command expressions. Based on these results, if the direction of the textbook moves toward approaching sentence functions with various communication situations and socio-cultural variables as a starting point, more efficient learners' communication skills will be improved.
