Correlation Between Generative Grammar and School Grammar: with a Focus on an Alternative Model of Teaching Korean Grammar

This study will discuss generative grammar and the current Korean school grammar from a comparative point of view and show that the theoretical development of generative grammar can be incorporated into school grammar. Since Chomsky (1965) generative grammar has been steadily developed through transformational generative grammar, government and binding theory, and minimalist theory. This has resulted in the creation of various models of sentence analysis. However, the radical progress and changes of generative grammar have not been actively reflected in the teaching methods used in the instruction of Korean grammar. This study will offer an alternative educational model for the instruction of Korean school grammar. This new model, which is based on the current trends of generative grammar, may provide a more effective and precise method for teaching school grammar in the Korean classroom.
