It has been ed that healthy old people have the most difficulty in the area of communication of their activities of daily living. For smooth communications, syntactic, semantic, morphological, phonological and pragmatic abilities are essential. According to the preceding studies, the elderly have more difficulty in communication with their limited ability to construct sentences than in other areas. In terms of grammar, as the length of sentences becomes longer and the level of complexity of the sentences increases, they have more difficulty in understanding sentences due to the deterioration of their ability to construct sentences and their grammatical ability. In addition, in their ability to produce sentences, too, the rate of producing simple sentences increases or the level of the complexity of the sentences decreases. Also, their errors with grammatical morphemes become more frequent, so they have difficulty in producing sentences. The grammaticality judgment ability that is related to these grammatical aspects is an ability to analyze the aspect of the construction of sentences and directly approach knowledge about grammar, directly, by which allows a test on whether one can detect an error by applying grammar rules. In order to test the grammaticality judgment ability that reflects language skills in the construction of sentences, the subject should have a knowledge of grammar, so it is necessary to check the grammaticality judgment ability with healthy old people. Thus, with the youth in their 20s and the elderly over 65, this study aimed to examine the grammaticality judgment and error correction abilities of the elderly, investigating whether there would be any differences in their ability in a grammaticality judgment task, an error correction task, the error correction type and error of sub-types of grammatical morphemes. The subjects of this study were 40 young people and 40 older people. The elderly subjects were judged to be normal through K-MMSE and STAND. As a result of a comparison of the number of years of education, K-MMSE score and STAND score, the elderly had a significantly lower K-MMSE score. The study used three tasks as follows: First, in the grammaticality judgment task, single sentences on a laptop in which E-prime 2.0 was installed were provided; they were asked to press the O/X button to decide whether the sentences were correct or incorrect; and their response times and correct response scores were measured. Second, the error correction task with marks in the wrong places in red color is a test in which the subjects should revise the parts, which aimed to check the correct response scores and error correction types. Third, the task of finding incorrect parts and revising them themselves is a test in which they should mark the incorrect parts of sentences and revise them, which aimed to check their correct response scores, error correction types, the frequency of marking the parts that were not incorrect and revising them, the resulting error correction types. In order to examine the differences in the ability in a grammaticality judgment task and an error correction task between the two groups, an ANCOVA was conducted with the K-MMSE score as a covariance in which there were differences between the groups. The research results are summarized as follows: First, in a grammaticality judgment task, the elderly showed significantly lower correct response scores and more delayed response rates than the youth did. Second, in an error correction task with marks in the wrong places, the elderly earned significantly lower correct response scores, and as for the error correction type, the elderly made significantly more errors only in grammatical revision. Third, in a task of finding and revising a mistake themselves, the elderly earned significantly lower correct response score, and as for the error correction type, the elderly had significantly more errors in grammatical revision and semantic revision. To look at the frequency of revising a part that was not wrong, the elderly revised such a part that was not wrong at a significantly higher frequency, while as for the error correction type when they revised such a part that was not wrong, the elderly tended to revise semantic aspects the most, while the youth tended to revise grammatical aspects the most. To sum up the above results, it was noted that the older, the poorer their grammaticality judgment ability becomes, and the poorer their error correction ability becomes. The grammaticality judgment ability is an ability to analyze and think of sentences, which comes under the aspect of the construction of sentences, of metalinguistic awareness, metalinguistic awareness is associated with age and cognitive ability. This shows that with the increase of age, their cognitive ability deteriorates, and the older people’s grammaticality judgment ability included in meta-linguistic awareness will deteriorate more from that of younger people. In addition, it was noted that older people preferred a semantic approach to a syntactic approach as compared to the younger people when they did not find a mistake in an error correction task. This supports the preceding studies that meanings are preserved more than grammar with aging, and more deterioration takes place in the syntactic ability. ，免费韩语论文，韩语论文 |
