This research puts the revised Korean and Chinese punctuation rules with reference to the comma in Chinese and Korean. As known, the core function of the Chinese and Korean commas refers to a short pause in sentences. In terms of the function and role of punctuation in written context, a wide range of recent research has paid attention to their disparities and similarities between the two languages. In the educational context, accuracy and understanding of puncutation rules should be educated, for they can represent different semantic changes depending on the context. With regard to the use of punctuation in context, regulations concerning punctuation have recently been amended. Chinese punctuation rules are recently revised in 2011: "General Rules for Function" (GB/T 15834 2011) and the Simplified Chinese, and "Hangul Matchumbeop" in 2017. The research puts forth that the similarities and disparities between the two languages should be increasingly studied, since Korean Chinese learners often make punctuational mistakes in their written works. Conclusively, Chinese learners should clearly understand the accurate function and usage of punctuation, paying attention to semantic differences in written context.
