The Comparison Between Chinese And Korean Negative Adverbs And The Analysis Of Korean Students' "no" And "no" Errors

In Chinese, "Bu" and "Mei" are negative adverbs that play a very important role in Chinese expression. Both prove important and difficult points for Korean learners. Even students with high Chinese levels easily confuse the two in usage. While many researchers have studied the structural and adverbial features of "Bu" and "Mei" constructions, few have yet undertaken comparative studies of negative adverbs in Chinese and Korean. In summary this thesis intends to analyze these constructions from the perspective of Korean students.Negative adverbs are used differently in Chinese and Korean. This thesis focuses on the two negative adverbs "Bu" and "Mei" in Chinese and the two negative adverbs "(?)"and"(?)" in Korean. Understanding the basic definition and usage of these two negative adverbs must come prior to any analysis. After defining key terms, the second step in this thesis compares and analyzes the similarities and differences of negative adverbs between Chinese and Korean. After this analysis, step three involved sending out and analyzing surveys of Korean students to understand where Korean learners make mistakes when using "Bu" and "Mei". The fourth step used error analysis to understand the sources of confusion among Korean students concerning the negative adverbs "Bu" and "Mei" in Chinese. After these four steps, this thesis proposes some useful teaching methods and a counterplan to remedy usage errors among Korean students.This thesis found that the confusion between "Bu" and "Mei" stems primarily from an unfamiliarity with the Chinese language, influences from the mother tongue, etc. This thesis hopes to help Korean Students understand correct usage of Chinese and Korean negative Adverbs and to point out key differences with an eye toward Chinese students studying in Korea.
