이 논문은 현대예술과 현대 선교신학이 추구하는 ‘참’(본질)의 의미로서 개인과 사회의 아름다운 삶을 위한 미적 실천의 관점이 짙은 연구 글이다. 먼저 현대예술은 예술철학적 관점에서 개인의 삶과 공동 사회를 아름답게 만들고, 덕을 세우는 등 진정한 사랑에 기인한 예술적 추구야말로 본질적 예술미로 규정한다. 또한, 현대 선교신학은 예전 중심의 예배를 넘어 인자와 공의가 실현되는 하나님 나라 복음의 실천으 로서 삶의 예배를 강조한다. 그러나 현대 기독교의 예술선교는 상황화 관점을 견지하면서도 실용성, 방법론, 문화 상대성 중심의 타문화 선교전략을 강구하고 있다. 이는 그 출발점이 현지인을 통한 선교전략 으로 보기에는 어렵다. 이런 이유로 이 논문은 행위예술의 관점에서 문화적 정서나 다름을 초월하여 자국민의 삶에 나타나는 일상 행위와 존재 방식이 어떠할 때 선교적 의미를 드러내고, 그 기능을 수행하는지 를 연구한 것이다. 곧 ‘선교적 행위예술’(missional performance art)이란, 하나님의 본질적 미(美)를 구현하는 행위로서 그 신학적 기준은 1) 본질적 창조성, 2) 생명적 회복성, 3) 육화적 전인성, 4) 증언적 복음성, 5) 지속적 혁신성, 6) 초월적 현재성이라는 요소를 지닌다.

The studies on Speech Acts of Directives (and the traditional study of Imperative Sentences) of local scholars have achieved some valuable results, including the definition and the inner classification of Speech Acts of Directives based on the speaker’s authority and power, the tone of sentence. However, it is observed that in speech communication, a directive sentence is given by the speaker based on some other influences besides those factors, which is against the former studies. Therefore, there should be a more complicated mechanism in the formation of a speech act of directives, not just formed by an individual factor. This article examines the selection process of the directive speech acts based on the theory of prototypic categories, and take more complicated, organic organized contexts into consideration. The context factors can be divided into constant factors and changeable factors. The combination of the two factors decides the range of selection of directive speech acts and the final form of output of the speech act.

Recently the two-cultures theory, which is based on the differences model, has drawn attention for explaining the gender differences appearing in linguistic behavior. This theory explains that different discourse styles in gender can be categorized into sub-cultures, which is characterized as "report talk" for male and "rapport talk" for female. The topic related to the male-female differences in linguistic behavior has been dealt mainly through a socio- cultural approach. However, in recent days, the biological approach has become more popular. According to the interpretation of the new biologism, the gender-related variation in language can be explained by the biological features. This theory explains language variations on the basis of evolution- ary psychology; hence, it ignores the gender-related sociolinguistic elements. Aiming to explain the complicated linguistic behaviour, the two approaches should be complementary. Not only do these theories need to be considered but cognitive science should be considered as well.
