Though th classification standards and methods vary depending on the views of scholars in the two countries, there are no big differences in the concepts of degree adverbs.

In chapter 3, the common features and differences among Korean degree adverbs, 'Aju, Maeu, and Mopsi' were considered through a syntactic and semantic analysis. The meanings of Korean degree adverbs, 'Aju, Maeu, and Mopsi' are overlapped in some respects, and there are differences, from a syntactic perspective. In general, degree adverbs are to restrict the categories of some semantic features, not the categories of modificands.
Also, the co-occurrence relations of Korean degree adverbs, 'Aju, Maeu, and Mopsi' with modificands were discussed by analyzing them, from a syntactic perspective, and their semantic features were analyzed, on the bass of dictionary definitions. In addition, the common features and differences among them were considered, from this syntactic and semantic perspective, and the types of sentences were analyzed.

Overall, Korean and Chinese degree adverbs showed a lot of similarities, from a linguistic viewpoint, but slight differences were observed, too. Therefore, learners need to pay attention these slight differences in Korean language learning. Although there are a lot of limitations in this study, it is anticipated that this study could make some contribution to the research to compare Korean language with Chinese language.
