한국어 ‘밥’의 의미와 한국어 교육적 접근

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the aspects of processing of ‘pap’ in Korean dictionaries and its uses in the corpus and propose education plans for each language group. To sum up the definitions of the word ‘pap,’ its definitions can be classified into seven meanings. To examine the description of ‘pap’ in Korean dictionaries, its meanings can be classified into ① “food cooked by boiling grains,” ② “food eaten at a particular time every day,” ③ “food eaten by animals,” ④ “part occupied,” ⑤ “scapegoat,” ⑥ “job of winding a clockwork,” and ⑦ “crumbs of a material.” Through the aspects of the use of ‘pap’ in the corpus, it was found that ① and ② were used at a high frequency, while the frequency of the use of ③ was very low. In addition, it was noted that the remaining ones were hardly used and the aspect of the use of ② was higher than that of ①. Moreover, this study examined the predicates co-occurring with ‘pap’ in the corpus (pure spoken language, semi-spoken language, and written language) and examined that the predicates could be chosen, which could be educated with ‘pap’ in Korean language education based on that. There are differences in the aspect of the extension of the meanings of ‘pap’ appearing by each language group, and it is necessary to differ Korean language educational plans according to the mother tongue. Vietnamese learners of the Korean language need to clarify the category or size covered by each word when they examine synonyms, as Spanish- speaking learners should recognize the differences in the way of looking at objects based on the differences between cultures, considering the characteristic that their language does not belong to the cultural area of Chinese characters. For Chinese-speaking learners, it is necessary to adjust to understand ‘similarity’ centering around the meanings rather than the forms of sentences. This study has significance in that it examined the aspects of the multi-purpose usages of ‘pap’, which had not been discussed in depth in Korean language education in the corpus, and that it examined the actual situation of the perceptions of it by each language group.
