A Study on Listener’s Reactive-Utterance in the Dialogue of Korean Intermediate Textbooks

The purpose of this paper is to analyze listener’s reactive-utterance in the dialogue of Korean intermediate textbooks and suggest things to be considered for composing the dialogue. Listener’s reactive-utterance is the mediating cue which makes turn-taking possible during the conversation in which the speaker and the listener take turn alternatively. And it is also a cue which shows that the listener is participating in the interaction as an active and positive subject of composing the conversation. Therefore, Korean language learners should master listener’s reactive-utterance to enhance the interactional competence. This paper examines the existing research on back-channels and discourse-markers and then defines the listener’s reactive-cues. After that, from the integrative perspective of turn-taking, it subdivides listener’s reactive-utterance cues into turn-supporting function, turn-inducing function, turn-interrupting function, turn-requesting function, turn-denying function. Dialogues of Korean intermediate textbooks are analyzed according this subdivision. Based on the result, this research presents a problem that turn-supporting function, turn-interrupting function, turn-denying function are not included in almost all of the textbooks. Also, it clarifies that turn-requesting function appears with the highest frequency and presents a problem that the way of giving cues for this function is concentrated on agreeing and confirming. With the basis of textbooks analysis, this paper also inductively draws and arranges functional forms of listener’s reactive-utterance which cues turn-taking. This data could be used as a reference for the composition of the dialogue. Lastly, it suggests things to be supplemented for the composition of the dialogue based on conversation analysis.
