Abstract

This study set out to search for the direction of adverbial clause setting in the semantic and functional aspects based on the previous discussions about adverbial clause setting. There are various discussions about the category setting of adverbial clause, and they can be divided into three major groups: one group that sets all adverbial, subordinate, and coordinate clauses, another group that sets only adverbial and coordinate clauses, putting subordinate clauses under the category of adverbial clauses, and the other group that sets even coordinate clauses as adverbial ones. Those various views have made it difficult to establish a universal system for adverbial clauses, whose confusion reveals problems with school grammar. The 7th Korean Curriculum contains views of setting adverbial endings, expanding the category of subordinate clauses being allowed as adverbial ones, and including coordinate clausal connective endings in the category of adverbial endings. As those multiple systems are allowed, they add more confusion to the normativity and systemicity of educational grammar but, at the same time, propose some directions for the discussion about the expansion of adverbial clause setting. In school grammar, the category setting of adverbial clauses should no longer remain at the level of theoretical discussions and start discussions in the aspect of pedagogical methods to expand sentences effectively. It is also necessary to set semantic- and functional-based adverbial clauses for the development and expression of logical thinking since adverbial clauses play important roles in making propositions and meanings specific and clear in the expansion process of sentences as modifiers. It is also needed to cite the name and concept of adverbial clauses and the methodology of their category setting in the aspects of paragraphs and texts as well as units of sentences when setting semantic- and functional-based adverbial clauses.
