외국인 유학생의 한국어 내포문 사용 양상 연구

Abstract

This study examines the usage aspects of noun clauses in the spoken language of international students studying in Korea. Previous studies have focused on written materials and used grammaticality judgment tests, lacking natural language data. This study addresses these limitations and explores diverse language aspects in spoken discourse. Participants include 79 international students from Vietnam, China, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mongolia, Japan, Taiwan, and Russia, engaging in natural conversations in small teams. As a result, a total of 2,634 sentences and 17,994 words were collected, and the usage aspects were examined by categorizing them into ‘-(으)ㅁ’, ‘-기’ and ‘-는 것’ noun clauses. The “-는 것” noun clauses appeared most frequently, and expressions reflecting spoken language characteristics were observed. The findings of this study suggest educational interventions for producing appropriate expressions in spoken and written language styles, and analyzing Korean language teaching materials for listing predicate verbs following noun clauses.
