영어 관사 사용의 오류분석 = Error Analysis of Articles Uses in English

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss and analyze the students' errors in using the articles in English and to give some materials for the more efficient teaching of them.
Chapter 2 deals with the two major theoretical hypotheses. Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis and Error Analysis Hypothesis. The first hypothesis maintains that the difficulty of second language acquisition lies in the interference of the structure of a mother language. The second hypothesis assumes that the most important factor of the learner's error is caused by the difficulty in acquiring the target language itself. Overgeneralization and language transfer are the two main sources of errors. The error analysis is also different from contrastive analysis in that error analysis does not assume the interference from mother tongue as the major source of error.
Chapter 3 analyze the errors of the students. In order to investigate what factors cause learner's error. 200 students were chosen as an experimental group. The result of the experiment showed that in sources of errors interalingual transfer(40.3%) influenced the learners much than interlingual transfer(23.2%) did while the students learned the target language. The overgeneralization phenomena seem to be resulted from the excessive emphsis on the grammatical structures in the target language.
Chapter 4 deals with the result of investigation in the actual use of articles. Especially, definite articles were overused in the interlanguage development process. On the other hand, the frequency of null article is far less than that of definite articles and indefinite articles but the error percentage of which is much lower than that of definite articles and indefinite articles. Thus we suggest that articles must be treated within framework of discourse, and thereby make learners aware of the roles and functions of articles in discourse or situational contexts. In conclusion, all the teachers should teach students the usages and rules of articles systematically and formally by presenting paragraphs and situational discourses so as to serve students' better uses of them.
