한국어 문법 교육에서 ‘이다’와 관련한 몇 가지 문제: 학습자를 위한 문법 기술의 관점에서

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problems observed in relation to ida in Korean language grammar description and to find a desirable solution. In the Korean Language textbooks, ida is a grammatical item not only presented as a direct subject for education but also presented a type of a stem in the conjunction description of other grammatical items. Despite this particularity, the descriptions of ida in the Korean textbooks have some problems. First, the method of presenting the target grammar items related to ida is not consistent even within the same textbook. Second, the contents of grammar description of ida were not balanced in terms of form, syntactics, and semantics. In other words, while concentrating on form combining, there is little or no description of the sentence dimension or semantic dimension. Third, unlike verbs and adjectives, ‘noun + ida’ is neglected when presenting conjugated terms in the grammar description. In order to solve the above problem, it is necessary to establish ‘noun + ida’ as a type of predicate equivalent to the verb and adjective in the Korean pedagogical grammar for foreign learners. In addition, when describing grammatical items, it is urgent to systematize the sentence dimension (the discourse dimension according to the grammatical item) rather than concentrating on form combination.
