This paper aimed at examining Korean learners' grammar acquisition focusing on the postpositional particle {i/ga} and {eun/neun}. As such, we examined 13,748 syllables intermediate mid to advanced low written texts over a two year period. One hundred eighty one errors out of a total of 1,296 {i/ga} and {eun/neun} postpositional particles were investigated. We found a total of 131 errors regarding the use of {i/ga} and among them, replacement errors from the use of {eun/neun} occurred 22 times. Errors regarding the use of {eun/neun} numbered 50, of which 16 replacement errors resulting from the use of {i/ga} occurred, representing the largest proportion of {eun/neun} errors. The error rates regarding the use of {i/ga} (35.89%) were found to occupy the largest proportion of postpositional particle errors. Compared to {eun/neun} replacement errors, {i/ga} replacement errors appeared more often, especially in a complex sentence such as a conjunctive and a relative clause. The phenomena of replacement errors involving {i/ga} and {eun/neun} could be explained by the function and semantic area in terms of grammatical and lexical notion of postpositional particle. In this study, we considered aspects of acquisition of {i/ga} and {eun/neun} and focused on the educational implications of these postpositional particles with respect to markedness, condition of grammar use, and error cause analysis.
