This study has the purpose for suggesting the basic data through the analyzing the similarities and differences of greeting divided by verbal and non-verbal. This is for Chinese korean learners(CKL) to perform greeting closed to Korean native speakers(KNS).
Greeting is the most basic conduct and an essential factor to keep and consolidate a smooth relationship. It is commonly tought at early stage in language education, and typically limited in formal greetings. Speech act, which is considered with circumstance and listener's age and social state, should be also educated.
It was performed the research of greeting including non-verbal acts, based on Searle(1969)'s theory of speech act.
This study is composed of as follows. chapter 1 mentioned the purpose and the necessity of this study.
In the chapter 2, It was explored the concept and the classification of greeting and speech act, considered similarities, differences of verbal and non-verbal communication, and composed the criteria of the analysis on the results.
In the chapter 3, DCT(Discourse Completion Test) and SAQ(Self Assessment Questionnaire) were used for the analysis of greeting as the experiment tools, and used the questionnaire as a tool to research speech act. The target for the questionnaire were limited in collage students, who were set as 30 males and 30 females in each group, the total was 180.
In the chapter 4, The result of experiment was divided by circumstances and variables, and then analyzed whether or not, the existence of typical greeting. In case of no existence of typical greeting, the result was analyzed was done through which kind of speech act. Also analyzed the non-verbal acts of the three groups as well. KNS used more typical greeting speech than CNS did, but less than CKL did. It was noted that CNS rarely uses typical greeting speech under all kinds of conditions. The rate of CKL which used typical greeting was the highest in three groups. This was because they didn't know the right greeting for the circumstance. The speech act and greeting were presented differently in each group. In CNS group, there were not many polite greeting like bending their waist and in KNS group, there were many polite greeting. There were many answers that CKN greet more politely than KNS. CKL needs to be educated for using proper greeting and speech act. like Korean native speakers. CKL was in the state of the inter-language between CNS and KNS in both greeting and speech act.
In the chapter 5, the procedure, the result, and the limitations of this study were summed up. In addition, the significance of this study was presented. This study is meaningful in that it was conducted based on a speech act theory in a different way from previous studies focused on text analysis and speakers' greeting, and conducted for the Chinese accounting for the highest rate in international students. It is also meaningful in that it was studied about the greeting act. The result of this study is expected to be helpful in teaching greeting and speech act for that Korean learners become as KNS on greeting naturally with proper speech act.
