A Study on the Generic Features of Korean Research Articles Based on Multidimensional Analysis

The purpose of this study is to analyze the generic features of Korean research articles based on multidimensional analysis and qualitative interpretation. It is meaningful that the result of this study is examine the effectiveness of multidimensional analysis as a methodology for text analysis to apply to teaching Korean as a second language. The first step of this study is to collect each 10 samples of texts from the research articles of the discipline of teaching Korean as a second language, Korean linguistics, business administration and electronic engineering. Secondly, all frequencies of the linguistic features in Kang(1998)'s dimension 1 and dimension 4 were identified in the 40 samples of texts. Thirdly, counts of each of the features in each text were analyzed by the statistic procedures to make comparison between Korean research articles and different kind of generic texts, and among 4 different disciplinary texts. Finally, samples of texts were reviewed to determine how the linguistic features functioned in the texts. The methodology of this study was followed Conrad(1996) and Kang(1998). The finding of this study shows that the linguistic differences exist between Korean research articles and different kind of generic texts, and among different disciplinary texts. From that result, this study concludes that multidimensional analysis as a methodology to examine the generic features of texts and develop contents for teaching and learning Korean as a second language is very effective and useful.
