A Study On The Korean Overseas Students' Acquisition Process Of The Chinese Typical Modal Particles "ma, Ne"

This paper deals with different levels of South Korean students' acquisition of the typical Chinese modal particles "ne, ma"and "zero-form". It aims at recognizing the differences among the Korean students of various levels on producing these modal particles and analyzing the possible reasons for such differences and also the differences between Korean students and the native speakers of Chinese. It will present an inductive description of the system of the typical modal particles "ne, m a"and "zero-form". After classifying the various uses of the typical modal particles into a few catalogues in the author's way for the sake of the experiment practice, the author attempts to collect the Korean students' language data by recording their free oral conversation and analyze it by applying SPSS . Four major experiments are taken ,which also include a series of further experiments each, to prove the significant variances among the Korean students with different levels of learning Chinese and the significant variances between the advanced Korean learners and the native Chinese speakers. Then the author will discuss the possible results from the SLA point of view. Finally, point out some of the problems that still need to be studied in the future.
