A Study of Chinese Learners' Acquisition Process of Korean Situational Demonstratives

This study aims at analyzing Korean situational demonstratives and examining Chinese learners' acquisition process of Korean situational demonstratives. For this purpose, Chinese learners' use of Korean situational demonstratives is examined in two ways: we first examined the difference between Chinese learners' and Korean native speakers' use of Korean situational demonstratives. Secondly, we examined Chinese learners' acquisition process based on their level of Korean language proficiency, beginner, intermediate and advanced. The following is the result of this study : we first found the acquisition process of Chinese learners is different from that of Korean native speakers. If the referent is in the domain of speakers, Chinese learners' use of Korean situational demonstratives is similar to that of Korean native speakers. On the other hand, if the referent is in the domain of hearers or speaker-hearers, Chinese learners have much difficulty in using Korean situational demonstrative and their use is quite different from that of Korean native speakers. Secondly, we found Chinese learners differently used Korean situational demonstratives according to their language proficiency : in the context where objective and subjective judgement is at the same time possible, Chinese learners showed the different use of Korean situational demonstratives based on their proficiency. This study could contribute to a clarification of foreign learners' acquisition process of Korean situational demonstratives which has not drawn attention in Korean language education.
