Kaplan (1966) introduced the idea of contrastive rhetoric, or the comparison of different types of writing in terms of organizational pattern. He claims that each language and each culture has a paragraph order unique to itself. In other words, the type of a writing is influenced by the cultural structure where the writer belongs to. Generally speaking, the writing conventions of a language may in some ways define a culture. The Korean language is affected in terms of the structure and pattern of the discourse by its culture and the structure of consciousness of the its community. According to him, English is depicted through a straight line from one point to another point, and oriental languages such as Korean and Japanese are through a spiral. In this paper, along with Kaplan, I will show that the phenomena such as pro-drop in a sentence and the word order in relative clauses reflect the idea that Korean has a spiral structure; the Korean speaker(writer) speaks his(her) intention indirectly and at the end of a sentence or a paragraph (discourse) rather than directly and in the beginning of a sentence or discourse.; in the case of Korean, the deletion or position of determiner, the position of relative clauses, and pro-drop phenomenon show a spiral structure in Korean, compared with English counterparts.
