| Abstract |
This research is concerned with Japanese-Korean code-switching (CS) performed by Koreans studying in Japan. It is based on the framework of Equivalence Constraint and Free Morpheme Constraint, syntact...ic rules which are representative of CS. In this study, words within CS utterances are divided into function words, which govern the word order of the sentence, and content words. Function words indicate tense, voice etc., and include affixes, articles, auxiliary verbs, prepositions, postpositions and other words which mainly perform a grammatical function. Content words include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions and other words with some semantic content. This study divides the process of CS into two steps: the insertion of content words and the construction of sentence structure. The conclusion is that the Frame Content Hypothesis is highly useful for explaining Japanese-Korean code switching. Furthermore, the FCH gives an insight into the reasons for using Korean words together with Japanese suru e, a mixed form which has become the topic of numerous studies, and it helps understand the grammatical attributes of this form.show more
