의사소통의 관점으로 본 갈등 담화 연구

Abstract

This study suggested a way of analyzing the conflict discourse from a communicational perspective by focusing on the conversations in K-Dramas, which are reproduced by reflecting reality. Speakers in a conflicting communication situation use various defense mechanisms to express unfriendly emotions. This study has analyzed the formal mechanisms that are utilized in speech-act in conflict situations using the Principle of Politeness by Brown & Levinson (1987) and Relevance Theory by Sperber and Wilson (1986, 1995), as conversations in the K-Dramas as the study subject. The communication aspects of conflict discourse situation include inappropriate utterance that is irrelevant to the situation, the strategic linguistic mechanism to hide the speaker’s intention, answering in the form of a question that is deviated from the typical example of question and answer, silence as a strategy to avoid answering to the question, and passive participation in the conversation. The Face Threatening Act as a linguistic expression that does not match the title of the other, or using oppressive words or sentences have become a marker for conflict discourse.
