교실 담화에서 교사의 청유문 분석

Abstract

This study explores the functions of grammatical forms in specific discourse contexts by analyzing propositional sentences based on sentence-ending types. Propositional sentences, similar to imperative sentences, are identified as having a notably directive attribute. Particularly, classroom discourse, which is grounded in a clear hierarchical structure between teachers and students, may highlight the use of propositional sentences more than in other discourse situations. Therefore, this research utilized a spoken corpus to investigate propositional sentences through an inductive method. Initially, propositional sentences and their functions were defined within the spoken corpus from a grammatical perspective. The sentences were then analyzed and categorized according to their functions. The findings suggest that propositional sentences in classroom discourse primarily exhibit directive functions. Moreover, new functions of propositional sentences, previously undiscussed, were discovered. These newly identified functions are closely associated with the type of discourse. The results of this study allow for the differentiation of unique features of propositional sentences in classroom discourse, potentially aiding learners in enhancing their intuitive understanding of the Korean language.
