Abstract

The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 22(1).By using the methodological framework of conversation analysis, this studycombines a grounded study of interactional linguistics focusing on L2 speakers'interactional competence in the use of Korean sentence-ending suffix -ketun.Based on the previous studies which examined the use of -ketun in L1 Koreanspeakers’ conversation, this study analyzes data taken from different levels ofKorean language classroom interactions, with close attention to the learner'susage of the target suffix in formulating a dispreferred response. The findingsof the study demonstrate that the L2 advanced students' use of -ketun is muchcloser to that for L1 speakers in constituting a dispreferred response whileclaiming epistemic primacy. On the other hand, extremely low frequency in theuse of -ketun is a distinctive linguistic-pragmatic features that characterizes useof -ketun by L2 speakers at lower levels of competence. The advanced students'diversification may be an indicator of their more adaptive, context-sensitiveconduct, suggesting an increased interactional competence. Close scrutiny of theuse of -ketun in this study aids to reveal whether and to what extent itsinteractional use by L2 speakers of different proficiency levels approaches thatof L1 speakers.
