In this study, I analyzed the types of errors and causes of errors appearing in the verbal conjugation of stem-final consonants of ‘-p’, ‘-t’, ‘-s’, and ‘-reu’ of the Chinese students learning intermediate level Korean by comparing the morphological construction of Korean and Chinese and attempted to propose the education method suitable for
Chinese learners of Korean.
Korean is an agglutinative language and Chinese is an isolating language. In Korean, which is an agglutinative language, the grammatical category is realized through the morphological change of verbs by adding the endings that have the grammatical function to verbal stems. The process of this morphological change is called conjugation. Only inflection occurs in conjugation. On the other hand, in Chinese, which is an isolating language, the lexical meaning or grammatical meaning is expressed through independent words, and there is no morphological
change like conjugation. Therefore, Chinese learners of Korean encounter a lot of difficulties and make a lot of errors when studying conjugation.
A survey was conducted on 30 intermediate level Chinese learners of Korean to find the error status of the conjugations and causes of errors. For the composition of the content of the survey, the irregular verbs of ‘-p’, ‘-t’, ‘-s’, and ‘-reu’ and the corresponding regular verbs and endings of ‘-da, -ne, -go, -deoni, -nya, -so, -(eu)ni, -(eu)nikka, -a/eoseo, and -at/eotda’ were selected. As a result of the survey, many errors occurred with these conjugations. The underlying cause of conjugation errors was due to the fact that Korean is an agglutinative language with the morphological change like conjugation while Chinese is an isolating language without the morphological change like conjugation. In addition,
conjugation errors can be classified into the errors in stems and errors in endings. The types of errors in the stem are mainly the confusion between irregular stems and regular stems and the omission error of ‘r’ in the conjugation of ‘reu’. The causes of these errors are as follows. First, errors occur as the process of combining stems and endings is not properly understood. Second, errors occur as the conjugation system of stems is not properly understood. Third, errors occur as the fact that
verbs change by the change in conjugational endings is not well known.
The content of education was widely divided into four parts depending on the analysis of the causes of errors. First, the generation process of conjugation has been described. In this process, first, learners are made to be aware of what conjugation is, and then are made to be aware of
the conjugation system. Second, the alternation of verb stems has been described. In this process, regular conjugation and irregular conjugation have been explained to learners. Learners are made to be aware of the fact that the alternation of stems occurs not only in irregular conjugation but also in regular conjugation based on the phonological rules. And then, they are also made to be aware of the stem alternation forms of ‘-p’, ‘-t’, ‘-s’, and ‘-reu’ regular verbs and irregular verbs. In addition, learners are made to be aware of how the word where alternation is realized is selected depending on the phonological environment. Third, learners are made to be aware of the phonological phenomenon that is applied to conjugations. Fourth, the conjugational ending system has been proposed to make learners be aware of it.
