보어에 나타난 한국인 중국어 학습자의 오류 분석- ‘跑得快’의 중한번역 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

In this article, we argue for the relationship between two kinds of Chinese complements: state and possibility. It is very hard for Korean students who study Chinese to understand the fundamental concept of these complements due to their ambiguity. Specially, the same form V得C can be translated differently, according to the specific type of complement. The state complement and the possibility complement can both take the V得C form, so that '他跑得快' includes both meanings when it comes to be translated into Korean. In order to resolve this ambiguity, we proposed semantic features for each complement type. Furthermore, we did a survey of these Chinese complements with thirty-six Korean leaners whose fluency in Chinese was above average. Through the survey results, we were able to see that most Korean leaners cannot distinguish between the two complements. We then organized a Chinese-Korean translation questionnaire. This helped to explain Chinese complements concisely to the learner. We also explained why the Korean leaner finds it hard to learn the Chinese complement. After translating it into another language, the constituent complement is changed to the adjunct constituent, and that creates a problem when trying to understand a Chinese complement and when classifying the type of complement. This investigation could provide a method for teaching the Chinese complement without creating ambiguous sentences.
