This study reports on the findings of a corpus-based analysis of Korean college students' use of English conjunctive adjuncts. Unlike many previous studies that mainly focused on describing the position and semantic types of conjunctions used by learners of English, this study examines grammatical errors of conjunctive adjuncts found in a leaner corpus that consists of 102,632 words written by 399 Korean college freshman students. The main findings of the study can be summarized as follows. First, learners tend to use sentence-initial coordinators even when the sentences before and after the coordinators are not long enough to warrant such usage. Second, sentence fragments occur much more frequently than run-on sentences with the 10 most frequent conjunctive adjuncts found in the corpus. Finally, learners often add unnecessary punctuation marks or omit necessary ones after conjunctive adjuncts, errors which sometimes make it difficult for readers to understand the text. All these errors amount to the conclusion that many Korean learners of English at the university level lack the necessary grammatical knowledge of English conjunctive adjuncts to use them correctlyin academic writing.

This paper reviews adjunctive characteristics of Pre-nouns in Korean. The contents discussed are as follows. First, previous studies on the Adjuncts and Specifier in NP. Second, adjunctive characteristics of Pre-nouns. Third, adjunction structure and levels of Pre-nouns in NP. In this paper, we will see the following three facts. First, demonstrative Pre-nouns is Adjunct. Second, Korean Pre-nouns are component of 'Structure island'. Therefore adjunctive characteristics of Pre-nouns shall be apply. Third, adjunction principle of Pre-nouns as a adjunct is proposed. In addition, the noun phrase structure is proposed.

Hee-Rahk Chae. 2000. Complements vs. Adjuncts (in Korean). Studies in Modern Grammar 19, 69-85. For a correct analysis of many grammatical phenomena, we have to figure out whether a given phrase is a complement or an adjunct of the head concerned. There are many criteria/tests to be used in determining the identity of the phrase. However, there are no syntactic criteria to rely on in Korean, which is a pro-drop language. We have only some semantic criteria, which are not always helpful in analyzing actual data. In the face of these difficulties, we propose a set of heuristic assumptions, which we think facilitate the distinction between complements and adjuncts. We will show our point with reference to the analyses of the -(u)lo and -ey-marked expressions, and the -ul/lul-marked adverbial nominals in Korean.
