The Understanding of Formulaic Expression Found in Daily Conversation

The purpose of this paper is to research on the understanding of formulaic expression found in Daily conversation of English-speaking Korean language learners. According to the literature review, the understanding of formulaic expression is affected by the period of residence. Therefore, formulaic expression is examined with the period of residence. The period of residence is divided 3 periods, 0-3 months, 7-9 months and 13-15 months respectively. Depending on indirectness and frequency, formulaic expression is divided into 4 types. Type A is directness and high frequency, Type B is directness and low frequency, Type C is indirectness and high frequency, Type D is indirectness and low frequency. According to this, there are 2 research questions. The first research question is examined by looking at the understanding of formulaic expression with relation to the period of residence. Results have shown that the longer the period of residence, the better understanding of formulaic expression of English-speaking Korean language learners. The second research question is the type of difficulty which the English-speaking Korean learners face among the 4 types of formulaic expression. Results have shown that English-speaking Korean language learners received more influenced from frequency rather than indirectness. This research is meaningful as we have examined the acquisition of formulaic expression in Daily conversation which have been overlooked in previous studies. Furthermore, this paper is significant as we have proved that the understanding of formulaic expression received a huge influence from the period of residence.
