중국인 학습자의 일본어 조건표현 습득과정에 대한 종단적 분석 ─ 학습 단계별 사용양상을 중심으로 ─

초록

This study conducts a longitudinal analysis of a natural speech corpus from Chinese learners of Japanese to examine how they acquire multiple conditional expressions with similar meanings, from both semantic and structural perspectives. The key findings are as follows: (1) Chinese learners of Japanese predominantly use tara as the central axis of conditional expressions, gradually expanding to other forms before stabilizing. (2) During the acquisition process, learners show competition and differentiation in the use of tara, ba, and to. (3) Fixed “units” emerge and become internalized, indicating that learners tend to acquire conditionals through specific unit combinations rather than evenly across forms. (4) In the longitudinal acquisition process of conditional expressions by Chinese learners of Japanese, a strong tendency was observed to distinguish the use of to based on semantic aspects. Since the corpus analyzed in this study consists of data from learners with a specific native language background, there are limitations in generalizing the results. However, this can be supplemented by the fact that the findings are comparable to those of cross-sectional corpus studies. In the future, the mechanism of Japanese learners' acquisition of conditional expressions will be further clarified through the analysis of various data sources.
