The Features of Emphasized Utterances in Korean Lecture Discourse

‘Listening lectures’ is not only one of the most important skills for Korean learners with academic purposes to succeed in studying in Korean universities, but accounts for the biggest portion in their successful academic achievement as well. Thus, it is vital to teach foreign students strategies to listen lectures efficiently. Out of various strategies for listening lectures, the most important strategy is how to distinguish what is important from what is not. The meaningful part of a lecture appears with the lecturer’s emphasized utterances and the way to emphasize important parts could be universal in language, however, there are still different features in each language. However, there hasn’t been any studies on the features of emphasized utterances in Korean. This study recorded actual lectures in Korean, analyzed the features of emphasized utterances, and then classified them according to the types in order to develop a teaching method in ‘distinguishing emphasized utterances’, one of the essential strategies in listening lectures for the learners with academic purposes. The results show that there are two types of emphasis in Korean emphasized utterances: One is depending on the lexical, syntactic devices including using discourse markers, repetition of core contents, using antithesis, questioning, expressing core contents like proposition, and the other is due to the phonetic realization including speaking with accent, slowing the utterance speed, putting pause before or after important contents.
