A Study on the Politeness Perception of Chinese Advanced Korean Learners: Focusing on ‘-aseo, -nikka, -neunde, -geodeun’

The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of politeness of advanced-level Chinese students who are studying Korean; with a particular focus on ‘-aseo, -nikka, -neunde, -geodeun’, which is the connective endings functioning as final endings used in similar discourse situations. The study conducted a survey of 30 Chinese Korean learners of advanced level, and the same survey was conducted with 30 Korean native speakers to compare the level of perception. The questionnaire set the variables with high social status, distant intimacy between the speakers and listeners, and age differences to compare the level of politeness of the connective endings functioning as final endings. The comparison group was also set as a variable so that these variables could be compared more objectively. The survey shows that Chinese advanced Korean learners recognized ‘-aseo’ as the most polite expression and ‘-geodeun’ as the least polite expression in most situations. The results of this study suggest that it can be a starting point for finding ways to teach pragmatic parts in the utterances of not only Chinese Korean learners but also foreign learners who want to learn Korean.
