An Analysis of the Korean Refusal Speech Act Strategies in Korean Textbooks: Focusing on Textbooks Published After 2018

The purpose of this study was to examine the Korean Refusal Speech Acts in Korean textbooks published over the last four years and to analyze the types of the Refusal Speech Act Strategies to reveal the implications of textbook composition. This study analyzed the Refusal Speech Act Strategies found in five types of textbooks published after 2018 in three aspects as follows: 1)The characteristics of Korean Refusal Speech Act and the types of Refusal Speech Act Strategies were summarized. 2) Regarding the composition of Korean textbooks, the study analyzed how the contents related to the Refusal Speech Act in the textbooks are presented, what Refusal Speech Act Strategies are used in the textbooks, and the characteristics of the discourse situation in which the Refusal Speech Act was realized. 3) The implications for the composition of Speech Acts in the textbook were revealed. As a result, first, the Refusal Speech Act Strategies shown in the textbooks were not presented in various ways. Second, the proportion of the Refusal Speech Act presentations were relatively smaller compared to other prior utterances. Third, the realization of the Refusal Speech Act Strategies shown in the textbooks did not reflect various social variables in the actual Korean daily life. Fourth, recently published textbooks tend to present Refusal Speech Act Strategies as a more specific cultural education content. Considering the fact that many new textbooks have been developed and used since 2018, it is meaningful to find out the current status of the Korean Speech Act education through an analysis of the Refusal Speech Act Strategies shown in the recently developed textbooks.
