韩国语假设条件词尾“면” “다면” 及其汉语对应情况考察

Abstract

In Korean and Mandarin Chinese, a hypothetical conditional marker refers to the grammatical unit that acts as a connection between two clauses and represents a certain semantic relationship. As Korean and Mandarin Chinese utilize different ways to mark this relationship, comparison between the two languages can help us understand better the two languages, and this comparative study can promote research in second language acquisition. Most grammar teaching lacks consideration of contextual usage and does not relate to an actual discourse environment and explores language in context. For a discourse-rich comparative study on the hypothetical conditional construction, this study established a parallel corpus that contains a collection of five original texts in Korean and their translations into Mandarin Chinese and six original texts in Mandarin Chinese and their translations into Korean, and investigates how the Korean conditional markers “면” and “다 면” correspond to Mandarin Chinese conditional markers “ruguo” and “dehua”, and also examines the cases in which “면” and “다면” show zero correspondence to Mandarin Chinese conditional markers. From the semantic perspective, this study sheds light on the characteristic of “면” “다면” and Mandarin Chinese conjunctions.
