聾學生 手話의 統辭 構造와 統辭論的 特徵 = The Syntactic Structure of the Sign Languge by Korean Deaf Students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sytactic structure and syntactic characteristics of the sign language which Korean deaf students began to learn after entering the schools for the hearing impairments. For this purpose, the samples of sign language scenes from 66 deaf students, who were selected by 6 students(3 male and 3 female) of each grade ranging from the 2nd grade of the elementary to the 3rd grade of the senior high course in schools for the hearing impairments, were recorded on viedeo tape and analyzed. The results can be summarized as follows.
First, the syntactic structure of the sign language has ths same patterns as Korean language. This result is supposed to be due to the influence of Korean language. But the variants of the S+O+V structure which does not exist in Korean language are found. These variants are the unique syntactic structures appeared only in the sign language. Accordingly, the characteristic of the syntactic stucture of the sign language is Pidgin sign Korean.
Second, the syntactic characteristics of the syntactic structure of the sign language are as follows. The simple sentences of the sign language have the same patterns of the main and adjunctive components as Korean language. But the sign language is differnt from Korean language in that the case-markers representing the main components do not exist at all, and in that the main components are frequently omitted. Also, compared with Korean language, the sign language has a characteristics that the verb or adjective signs are usedas a pre-nominal or an adverbial by its original forms without a transformation marker. The complex and complex and compound setence of the sign language have the same patterns of the syntactic structures as Korean language. But the suffix or connection-ending word representing the complex and compound sentence are not found. The reason is that the sign language has not the suffix or connection-ending signs representing the complex and compound sentences. This results means that the sign language sentences are structured according to the constraints of word order, and that its basic structure is S+O+V.
Accordingly, the syntactic rules of the sign language sentences are structured based on the principles of language universals.
