한국어 담화표지 ‘그런데’의 중국어 대응 양상 -화제 전개 기능을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning and function of Korean word ‘Geureonde(그런데)’ in the view point of discourse levels and to look into the way of Chinese translation of this correspondence. The materials used for the study is the Korean drama, ‘My love from the star’. This study explores the discourse functions of ‘Geureonde’ by focusing on the topic development. In addition, the function of the topic development is investigated by dividing ‘topic introduction’, ‘to snatch turn-taking’, ‘to hold turn-taking’, and ‘to hand over turn-taking’. When grammaticalization process of ‘Geureonde’ is weak, it represents the dictionary meaning and when deep, the function of discourse marker progresses stronger. This phenomenon is reflected on the Chinese translation such that ‘danshi(但是)’, ‘keshi(可是)’, ‘buguo(不过)’ is used for ‘Geureonde’ when grammaticalization process is weak and another expression such as huashuo(‘话说)’, ‘suoyi(所以)’, ‘ranshou(然后)’, etc. are used or even omitted when grammaticalization process is strong.
