한국어 교재에 나타난 조건 연결어미 ‘-(으)면’의 연구

A Study of the Conditional Connective Ending ‘-(으)면’ in the Korean Textbooks

The purpose of this study is to examine an organization of the conditional connective ending ‘-(으)면’, the grammatical system and syntactic and semantic features in the Korean textbooks. The conditional connective endings in the Korean textbooks scarcely have syntactic constraints. However, it is to be natural sentence that posterior clause is the present when anterior clause is the present. Semantically, sentences which is indicated the meaning of a simple ‘condition’ are presented from primary class to high class without exception. Moreover, it is expressed in the primary class when the sentence is the necessity, reason and hope. In the intermediate class, it is used the sentence of the explanation and subject. This study compared the predicate aspect to unite with the conditional connected ending ‘-(으)면’ and a frequency of Korean vocabulary use, and then drawn up the list. It is meant to investigate the difference between the predicate to combine the conditional connected ending ‘-(으)면’ and the predicate to join other conditional connected ending. If we can classify the predicate type to combine each conditional connected ending according to the list systematically, we will be of help about Korean instruction and learning.
