中韩标点符号对比

Abstract

Based on the circumstances of punctuation in foreign language teaching neglected, we reviewed the history of Chinese and Korean punctuation. According to both the latest standards 标点符号用法 and 한글 맞춤법, we compared the punctuation of Chinese and Korean by putting them into three categories. One is different forms of punctuation, another one is no correspondence in the form of punctuation, and the third one is the same forms of punctuation. By contrast, we found that more or less there are significant differences in either same forms or different forms of Chinese and Korean punctuation. Some of them are the differences in function, some differences are in usage, as well as some of them are different written form and conjunction differences with other punctuation. In a word, we can not ignore the differences in punctuation while learning and teaching process as a second language acquisition in both Chinese and Korean. Otherwise it would make usage error. In addition, we also proposed the viable alternative for punctuations without a corresponding form in Chinese and Korean, as well as those which is in the same form but different functions. We hope this paper can provide clear and practical reference standard of punctuation for learning or teaching Chinese or Korean as a second language, as well as the translation of Chinese and Korean.
