A Study on The Logicality in The Written Texts of Chinese Korean Majors at The Beginner Level

All human languages possess universality, and the human way of thinking is characterized by logical reasoning. On this premise, this study qualitatively analyzed the written texts of Chinese Korean majors at the Beginner level. As a result, a clear logical structure was identified within their text structure, which involves introducing a text, stating a central thought, providing a rationale for this central thought, and confirming or emphasizing this thought. In addition, the study also identified the frequent use of the logical cohesive device, which is the main subject of this paper's analysis. This verifies that humans fundamentally think logically and express themselves in language form. The results of this study suggest that in argumentative text writing education for Chinese Korean learners for academic purposes, more emphasis should be placed on designing effective educational plans for logical cohesive devices rather than on improving thinking ability or text structure. It is suggested that the instructor should understand the universality of language and, as well as the contrasting linguistic knowledge and mediating variables between the learner's native language and Korean, to effectively design instructional plans.
