Korean Terms of Address for Italian learners
This study aims to help Italian learners of Korean understand terms of address and use them appropriately in different contexts. Korean terms of address vary in types and expressions, and many factors must be considered when using them. Particularly, as such terms include cultural characteristics, using them correctly in situations is difficult without a good understanding of these characteristics. By comparison, Italian terms of address are relatively simple and clear with respect to their organization and usage. Therefore, this study examines the types and characteristics of terms of address in each language and suggests areas to focus on in Korean language education to help Italian learners better understand Korean terms of address as they may face difficulties due to differences from their native language.
