| It has been over100years since Yoo Gil-joon (1897) first started the divi sion study of the modern Korean sentence. In that century, various division sys tems appeared. Korean sentence constituents are an integral part of the syntacti c study, and the focus of the grammatical study. Sentence constituent is meant sentence component, and it is the key point of analysing sentences.Syntactics developed rapidly in the past100years. On the one hand, the t heoretical study is increasingly deepening, on the other hand, the application of the theory is wider and wider, sometimes with new breakthroughs and innovat ions. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation and analysis of published Korean syntax monographs and a summary of Korean syntax theoretical results in t he100years are of high theoretical and practical value.Diachronic and synchronic approach and comparative research method are used in this thesis. According to these methods, linguistic theories, such as co-ordinate measuring linguistic, traditional linguistic theory, structuralism, generati ve grammar and pragmatics, are used in summarizing Korea sentence constitue nt. In this thesis, the Korean syntax study history is divided into five stages. A total of221Korean syntax books published in China, the DPRK and South Korea from North Korean Code of Yoo Gil-joon,1897to2012are investiga ted; Characteristics of sentence constituent system, including the development of the concept and classification of each sentence constituent are analyzed. The very significance of this thesis lies in its exploring of the existing controversi al issues and the study history of Korean sentence constituent in the past100years.This thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter, an introduction,d iscusses the research purpose, significance, research methods, the study object a nd the achievements and shortcomings of prior studies, and divides chronologic ally the Korean syntax study.The second chapter discusses the concept, unit, division standard and class ification of Korean sentence constituents, and analyses the characteristics of the sentence constituent system in each stage. Chapter3deals with related components. It explores into the names, defin itions and subdivisions of subject, predicate, object, complement, adverbial an d attributive.Of controversial issues of subject, double subjects, manifestation of subject and no-subject sentence are focused on. Of the controversial issues of predicate, sentence constituent of "the body word+(?)", main components a nd subsidiary ones are focused on. Of controversial issues of object, double-o bjects are the key point. Of controversial issues of complement, the range setti ng is mainly discussed. Of the controversial issues of attributive, the analysis o f appositive consitutes the main part.The fourth chapter, an analysis of independent components discusses the d evelopment of name, concept and lower classes division. In the controversial i ssues of independent components, the following four aspects are focused on:1)"whether a single-word sentence can be discussed in the term of sentence con stituent",2)name of direct address,3)"the category of prompt language" and4)"the category and range of parenthesis".The fifth chapter is an analysis of other constituents. The possibility of co mponent establishment of the following is discussed:text, subject language, des cription Language, quotation, naming language, response language, statement Ian guage, conjunctions, location language, easy language and comparative language.Chapter6, the conclusion, based on the previous analysis, proposes a sen tence constituent system in line with Korean language features. Altogether in this system11sentence constituents are established according to their function, significance, morphology and syntax, namely, subject, predicate, object, comple ment, adverbial, attributive, prompt, independent components including direct ad dress, exclamation, parenthesis and conjunct language.The research of sentence constituent,which is a basic category in the whol e grammar system, holds an important position in the syntax study. It plays an indispensible role in both the establishing of syntax standard and the actual te aching of the Korean language.It is hoped that the Korean sentence constituent study and its history study will promote to some degree the development of Korea syntactics and Korea syntax learning and teaching. |
