Past, researchers have worked on the use of hope expressions in the Korean language. The study of expressive action is more effective when researchers directly observe people using their native language rather than through linguistics theory. Embodied Construction Grammar(ECG) is provides the theoretical basis for this research, cognitive character into account. The lingual focus of this research is on the use “-go sip-” in the self-introduction discourse between native speakers. The results of this research show it is found that hope expressions are the basic unit in the opening or creating of self-introduction discourse. This research reveals that some examinees construct discourse by inserting a hope expression as the starting point, while others do not. Self-introduction discourse is constructed by the relation of the predicate to agent-actor-action(3A). I argue that the necessity of this methodology¹⁾ is proved by the results of this study and this methodology will help research the cultural adaptation of the immigrants in Korea.
