Han, Seung-Hoon. 2014. An Integrated Approach to Linguistic Misunderstandings and Miscommunications: From the Perspective of Intentional and Non-intentional Case. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 39-3, 655-676. The purpose of this study is to reconsider linguistic miscommunications and misunderstandings, which occur in marital conversations and conversations between parent and children in korea, in terms of intentional or non-intentional case. There have been two major problems in accounting for them in many previous studies: one is that two concepts have been randomly used without any criteria; the other most of studies have focused on non-intentional cases involved in mistakes, noise, cross-cultural value and etc. As an alternative for improving them, a special focus is laid on Han’s(2014) integrated framework built by the combination of action theory and pragma-linguistic approach. On the basis of Han’s framework, an attention is paid to analyzing a set of real data involved in family discourse. The results of this analysis are discussed in terms of six types of verbal-actions. Such an attempt will be helpful to understand how intentional language usage is employed in dynamic discourse context as well as anatomize why an agent commits intentional miscommunications in his/ her family context.
