韓国語話者の韓国語カタカナ表記と「国語の仮名文字表記法」の比較研究

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how Korean speakers, who are learners of Japanese, write Korean words using Japanese Katakana, and to compare this with "Japanese transcriptions in Korean" which can be determined as Korean Katanaka writing rules. For this purpose, I conducted research on three tasks. 　In the first task, we tried to find out if there is any certain tendency for native Korean speakers to write Korean words in Katakana. The result showed that the least number of notation types was 4, and the word that showed the most number of notation types was 35 among the 26 words used for the research. 　The second task was to investigate how the agreement rate with the "Japanese transcriptions in Korean" changed under the assumption that when the number of letters in a word increased, the number of Katakana notation types will increase too. As a result, for two-letter words, 4 to 24 different notations were found, and the agreement rate was 15.56%. For three-letter words, there were 6 to 32 types of notation, with an agreement rate of 4.94%. And, for four-letter words, 22 to 35 different notations were found, and the agreement rate was 1.21%. 　In the third task, I examined whether there was a relationship between the level of Japanese language proficiency and the agreement rate. The result showed that the agreement rate was 8.97% for the beginner level, 7.69% for the intermediate level, and 8.50% for the advanced level. The agreement rate for the advanced level was lower than that for the beginner level, indicating that there was no relationship between the level of Japanese and the agreement rate.
