A Study on Acquisition Aspects of the Conjunctive ending ‘-go’: Focused on the multicultural family's children from 4∼8 years of age

This study is inquire into the acquisition aspects of ‘-go’ for the multicultural family's children. Firstly, this study divides the acquisition aspects into ‘opportunity, enumeration, contrast, simultaneity’ according to the semantic function of ‘-go’. And then this study examines out the acquisition aspects related with the time adverb, the conjunctive verb, and the conjunctive ending. The results are as follows. 1) Apparently, the appearance aspects of ‘-go’ follows the order of ‘opportunity - simultaneity - enumeration - contrast’, of which ‘-go of opportunity’ comes first. However, in view of time cognition through the children's time adverbs and of the using aspect of conjunctive adverbs, it is found out that ‘-go’ is acquired by the semantic order such as ‘enumeration - opportunity - simultaneity - contrast’. It means that the acquisition is not different from grown-ups using aspect of ‘-go-’, which tells us that the acquisition step and using frequency are not irrelevant each other. 2) ‘-go of opportunity’ appears first than ‘-go- of enumeration’ apparently. In view of time cognition through the time adverbs, the time concept which is understood uncorrectly at four years old is understood clearly at five years old. It can be said that the cognition of the time concept brings about the increase of using ‘-go of opportunity’. It is thought that the understanding on ‘-go’ influences on the appearance of ‘-eoseo(어서)’ which has an equal meaning to ‘-go of opportunity’. 3) It is found out that ‘-go of enumeration’ begins to appear at the mid 4's, and its prevalence become higher at the mid 5's. It is thought that the late appearance of ‘-go of enumeration’ is due to the sentence lists which substitute for the enumeration and the conjunctive adverb, ‘Tto(또)’. This also can be checked out by way of the appearance aspect of the conjunctive adverbs. It tells us that the acquisition order can not be fixed by way of only the appearance aspect of ‘-go’. 4) ‘-go of contrast’ suggests the meaning of contrast after cognition of each situation by way of the enumeration. As a result, it is found out that ‘-go of contrast’ begins to appear after the mid 5's, which is related to the appearance time of ‘-jiman(지만)’, which has an equal meaning to ‘-go of contrast’. 5) ‘-go of simultaneity’ begins to appear early with ‘-go of opportunity’, but its realization aspects are not many. It is thought that they are due to both the speech material of children and the syntactic restriction which ‘-go of simultaneity’ has.
