A Study on the Development Process of Connective Endings in KSL Children

This study aims at investigating thedevelopment process of connective ending in KSL children. For thispurpose, the journals recording about three KSL for around 17months were collected. As a result, Children overcame the blanksof connective endings in their interlanguage through methods suchas ‘pieces phrases, composing sentences, converting codes, creativecomposition, and replacement’. And even in case of connectiveendings belonging to the category of the same meaning, dependingon individuals, developmental processes were different. Theseresearch results seem to indicate that change of one variable couldcause to change hugely in the system of interlanguage, and it isidentical with the theory of DST arguing that learners’ interlanguagedoes not develop linearly. However, in the analysis of developmentalprocess in macro-perspective, because of characteristics in connectiveendings in Korean language, there are similarities in the same typesof connective endings which had never been created or trying tocreate new connective endings after going through the period ofsilence.
