중국어권 학습자의 종결어미 ‘-을걸’ 사용 양상 연구

Abstract

This study investigates the difference in the usage pattern of the ending ‘-eulgeol’ between Chinese-speaking learners and native speakers through a Discourse Complete Test questionnaire. The results shows that first, in almost all question, such as regret, guessing, and assumption clause, the response rate of '-eulgeol' of Chinese-speaking learners was lower than native speakers. Second, we found two kinds of replacing error in the response of Chinese-speaking learners. One is replacing ‘-eulgeol’ with the hope expressions ‘-(았/었/였)으면 좋겠다’, and the other one is replacing ‘-eulgeol’ of regret with ‘-eulgeol(yo)’ of guessing. In general, the meaning of ‘-eulgeol’ can be divided into guessing and regret. The ‘-eulgeol’ of regret is distinguished from the ‘-eulgeol (yo)’ of guessing by having a morphological difference. Thus, It can be inferred that this error appears due to the confusion of morphological differences between ‘-eulgeol’ and ‘-eulgeol (yo)’. Besides, we also found two characteristics from the response of Chinese-speaking learners. First, in public situations, such as work and class, native speakers tended to use assertive expressions, but Chinese-speaking learners prefer to use guess expression. Second, we found that some of Chinese-speaking learners had problem with using honorification. Therefore, to generalize the characteristic and errors of ‘-eulgeol’ from Chinese-speaking learners, a future study is necessary.
