사용자 문법으로 본 구어 중심의 한국어의 상대 높임 표현과 그 교육

Abstract

Korean honorific system is a grammatical category with relatively large changes even in the modern Korean after 20th century. There are a lot of contents, which are not appropriate to today’s linguistic reality in hearer honorific system that is set by current school grammar. Establishing two-dimensional speech levels as 4 grades of formal body and 2 grades of informal body is less realistic. It reveals evidently in Sejong balanced corpus and dialogue of television drama. Excluding ‘Hao’ style and ‘Hagae’ style in speech levels because they are almost disappearing, it is necessary to set ‘up Haseyo’ style which is frequently used. Also two-dimensional system is also unrealistic. Therefore it becomes one-dimensional system of ‘Hasypsio, Haseyo, Haeyo, Hae, Haera’. Educational grammar should aim user-oriented grammar further than theoretical grammar. It is realistic to establish one-dimensional 5 grades of speech levels above in elementary of intermediate level national language grammar for natives or Korean grammar for foreign Korean learners. In just a high-level national language grammar or Korean grammar it can be able to deal ‘Hao’ style and ‘Hagae’ style. It is natural that ‘Hagae’ style and ‘Hao’ style are not included in model dialogue of Korean education textbook that each institutions use currently. Like this, user-oriented grammar has an effective grammar system and contents for users not only in Korean language education but also in many Korean Applied linguistics.
