The Intersubjectivity Study on Chinese "buguo" and its Corresponding Expressions in Korean

Abstract

From the perspective of intersubjectivity, this paper focuses on the construction process of intersubjective meanings of Chinese "buguo" and its corresponding expressions in Korean. We preliminarily draw the following conclusions. First, each meaning and usage of "buguo" in Chinese can be found corresponding expressions in Korean, corresponding to different types of expression forms, showing a one-to-multiple radial shape. Second, the Chinese "buguo" and its corresponding Korean expressions of "subjective minority usage", "inflection meaning", "counter-expectation", "discourse organization function" all reflect the characteristics of intersubjectivity to varying degrees. It can be said that the Chinese "buguo" and its corresponding expressions in Korean are forms of expression with strong intersubjectivity. Third, the meanings of objectivity, subjectivity and intersubjectivity of "buguo" present a continuum distribution: the left end has the strongest objectivity, while the right end has the strongest intersubjectivity. From left to right, objectivity and subjectivity gradually weaken, while intersubjectivity gradually strengthens.
