A Study on Politeness by Using a Question Strategy of Learners of Korean

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to substantialize politeness through question strategy to redress FTAs(Face Threatening Acts) of a negative face. Learners of Korean as L2(Second Language) speakers in Korea acquire knowledge about interrelation between a linguistic form and a pragmatic function; that is to say they use interrogative sentences for various pragmatic purposes that depart from original function: information request. Because speakers desire to communicate successfully by realizing politeness and redressing possibility of FTAs. This paper shows three conclusions by analysing the learner’s languages of conversations, text messages, texts of internet bulletin board and logical rhetorical writings, etc. First, KSL(Korean as a Second Language) learners use interrogative sentences strategically for a communicative intention. They are divided into conventionalized expressions like greeting words and not-conventionalized questions including indirect speech acts. KSL learners produce not-conventionalized questions(67%) more than conventionalized expressions(33%) of all. Second, KSL learners use interrogative sentences the most for expressing opinion(32%) and requesting(27%). This is explained in terms of reaching a systemical variation stage of interlanguage of KSL learners. Third, KSL learners use judgement questions the most and they tend to connect a specific question type with a specific pragmatic function. Judgement questions were used the most in request and confirmation, negative questions were used the most in expressing opinion, wh-questions were used in various functions like ordering(suggestion) and changing a topic, etc. Especially rhetorical questions were connected with expressing opinion.
