화용적 공손성과 한국어 교육 = Politeness and Korean Language Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Politeness in pragmatics includes not only the humbleness and courtesy that subordinates should possess toward their superiors, but also the solicitude for another, which is necessary when dealing with equals or superiors. This research studied the characteristics of pragmatic politeness, which is a different concept from the grammatical honorific system. Pragmatic politeness has a close relationship with indirection. The reason for using indirect speech act is polite, but indirect speech act is not always polite. This can be explained by cross-cultural differences, and thus shows the limits of universal politeness. Native speakers have harder time accepting pragmatic problems than grammatical errors. If learners want suitable communication in the target language, it is important to teach them the pragmatic politeness of the Korean language. Therefore, in the last chapter of this paper, politeness education methods are presented.
