A Study on the Contextual Reference in the Advanced Korean Learners’ Written Language

This paper aims to examine how the advanced Korean learners substantialize an anaphoric function of contextual reference using ‘i’ and ‘geu’. The analysis of the written language showed some aspect. First, Korean learners use reference items both ‘i’ and ‘geu’ series all very selectively but they use ‘geu’ more generally. Second, they use the reference item to determine other sentence components at high frequency. The reference item is an inessential modifier to make syntactic complexity that is intimately related with advanced language competence. Third, Korean learners use the reference item dissimilarly depending on the semantical feature. They use the reference item ‘i’ series more than ‘geu’ series when the property of the reference object is specific and concrete and psychological distance is close to the reference object. In case of the property of the reference object related with nowness and new information, they use also ‘i’ series reference items more than ‘geu’.
