A Study on pragmatic problems in the discussions of Korean language learners: Focusing on the use of discourse markers

This paper presents an analysis of pragmatic problems in the discussions of advanced Korean language learners by focusing on the learners' use of discourse markers. The purpose of this study is to analyse the characteristics and problems in the learners' use of discourse markers and to present useful data for advanced learners' speech education. The discussions of 70 advanced Korean language learners from 11 countries, divided into seven groups, were transcribed and analysed. The results reflect three characteristics of the learners' discussions.: 1) Time-saving markers(67%) appeared the most frequently, and topic development markers(16%) and turn-taking markers(8%) appeared with subsequent frequency. 2) Some of the markers were used in various functions, especially in the case of ‘yes(네)’, which was used in seven different functions. 3) Pragmatic problems appeared frequently, and were divided into five types: (a) misuse of functions, (b) use of the first language, (c) use of misform, (d) omission, and (e) overuse.
