Korean particle ‘eun/neun’ is a grammatical unit that requires discourse-based grammar teaching, but there have been many cases in which teaching contents were derived based on the results of syntax-based error analysis. The purpose of this study is to find implications of discourse-based grammar teaching for Korean particle ‘eun/neun’ based on the reference point relation in cognitive linguistics. The reference point relation(Langacker, 2008) is conceptually similar to ‘topic’ which is one of the semantic functions of Korean particle ‘eun/neun’, and from the point of view of ‘topic’, the reference point have the following formal characteristics. First, the reference point is located at the beginning of a sentence and is a noun phrase. Second, reference points are repeated and appear at high frequency in discourse. Third, the reference point is related to the cohesion of a text. In this study, based on the three formal characteristics, reference points were found in Korean learners' compositions and the chain of the reference point relation was analyzed. Next, it was analyzed that reference points were combined with Korean particle ‘eun/neun’ or not. As a result of the analysis, Korean particle ‘eun/neun’ was involved in the binding structure of a text with reference points. In addition, when Korean particle ‘eun/neun’ used where it is not a chain of the reference point relation or omitted from a chain, the cohesion of the text had weakened, and sentences had not ‘flown’ in the text.
