Abstract

Speech act, a basic unit of verbal communication is the most important concept in the present language education. In order to teach and learn speech act most efficiently in Korean language education, it is necessary to list up and systematize the interrelationship between speech acts and pattern expressions. At first, this study addressed the necessity of distinguishing speech acts in syntactic level from that in discourse level. Speech acts in syntactic level had direct functional relations with pattern expressions. But in case of speech acts in discourse level, speech acts in syntactic level made semantic formulas and then formed discourses. Secondly, this study showed the correlative complexion between speech act and pattern expressions and found problems in the research of the speech act. Finally, this study proposed to list up and systematize the interrelationship between speech acts and pattern expressions in Korean language education. One was to analysis speech acts of every pattern expressions with corpus in Korean textbook and learner`s dictionary, the other was to complement the corpus analysis output with discourse completion test. The output of these process would be useful for teaching speech act in Korean language teaching. (Yonsei University)
