“…앞서 살펴본 바와 같이, 외국어로서 한국어 학습자들의 공손에 대한 화용적 능력의 습득과 활용에 중점을 둔 연구는 여전히 부족하다 (Hur, 2010). 한국어 학습자가 한국 문화에 진입하는 것은 새로운 문화에 적응할 것을 요구받게 되는 과정이다 (Park, 2017). 특히 그 체계나 활용이 모어와 전혀 다른 한국어 경어법을 이해하고 올바르게 사용하기 3) Thomas(1983)…”

“…한국어 공손에 대한 초기 연구에서는 통사론적, 의미론적 측면에서 경어법과 공손을 동일시하는 경향이 있었고 (Park, 2017), 외국어로서의 한국어 교육 분야에서도 주로 경 어의 습득에 관한 인지적 관점에 중점을 두어 연구가 이뤄져 왔다 (Choo, 1999;Lee, 1997;Park, 1996 등). 즉, 한국어 모어 화자의 언어 사용 경향을 규범으로 설정하고 외국인 학습자들의 한국어 표현이 얼마나 모어 화자에 가까운지를 평가하는 차원에 국 한되었다.…”

The Korean language has an established honorific system that reflects the Korean society's hierarchical and relational nature, where respect for elders and individuals of higher social status must be shown through language (Brown, 2015). This cultural aspect poses significant challenges to L2 Korean learners. Taking a socio-pragmatic perspective, this study explored how L1 English speakers living outside the target language society comprehend and apply the honorific system when speaking in L2 Korean. The study was conducted with eight L1 English speakers learning Korean in Australia. All eight participants completed a survey revealing their motivation for, first impression of, and biggest hindrance in learning Korean. Next, seven of them were interviewed concerning how they conceptualised, perceived, and used Korean honorifics. The survey and interview data analysis showed that the participants appeared to have a subjective attitude towards the application of honorifics instead of considering the listener's relational status even when the honorific system had been learned and mastered for a considerable period. Although the participants were learning Korean while living outside the Korean society, which makes it challenging to understand honorifics or establish conversational concepts completely, they recognised honorifics as an important part of the Korean language; however, this understanding was overpowered by their cultural identity as "Australians." The findings suggest that an L2 speaker is not a target-like object unconditionally accommodating socio-pragmatic elements but rather a fluid speaker exercising subjectivity and autonomy.
