텍스트 장르에 따른 문장 확대 양상 연구학술개론서와 학술강의 텍스트를 중심으로

Abstract

This study examines how Korean syntactic structures are realized in various texts by comparative studies between spoken and written texts. For a comparative study between spoken and written Korean, this study will be based on the spoken and written corpus in Korean, especially the academic textbook corpus and the lecture corpus. Both texts has the same textual function as expository texts, but there are some differences between them, in that one is the written text and the other is the spoken text. This study reveals syntactic differences between them, according to analysing several syntactical units: sentences, conjunctional clauses and embedded cluases. Chafe(1982) insists that compared with the spoken language which has fragmentary feature, the written language shows synthesized features in noun phrases, participles, connective phrases, a variety of prepositions, complementary clauses, and relative clauses in expression itself. But as a result of this study the lecture which is a kind of monologues is not simpler than the academic textbook in syntactic structures. So we can’t say that every spoken texts are simpler than written texts.
