Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the overall transformational ending errors of Korean Learners in Chinese Language and examine the patterns and types of errors. Methods For this purpose, 1,467 examples of grammatical ending errors by Korean Learners in Chinese Language were analyzed from the error annotation corpus constructed by the National Institute of the Korean Language. Among them, there were 1,040 errors in written language and 427 errors in spoken language. After analyzing learners' errors by dividing them into written and spoken words, the types, patterns, and levels of errors for each proficiency level from beginner to advanced were examined. Results Korean Learners in Chinese Language showed a similar tendency to use transformational endings in written and spoken words. In general, the error forms of mainly adjective endings were calculated relatively. In addition, the types of errors shown with high error rate in written language are ‘syntactic error’ and ‘form error’. A high rate of error in spoken language is ‘pronunciation error’. Also, errors in the form of ‘replacement’ were found with high frequency in written and spoken words. Lastly, ‘misformal aspect + form error’ and ‘replacement aspect + syntactic error’ appeared relatively frequently from intermediate to advanced in written or spoken language. Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it looked at the types of errors in the transformational endings that appeared in each stage of the Korean Learners in Chinese Language according to the level and pattern of the error targeting the error annotation learners corpus of the National Institute of the Korean Language. In particular, considering that there are more errors in the transformational endings produced by intermediate and advanced learners, it is necessary to continuously educate Korean Learners in Chinese Language from beginner to advanced in the educational field.
