Park, SooHyeon & Shin, Dongil. 2017. “A Critical Discourse Analysis on Immigrated Students' Language Competence”. The sociolinguistics Jouranl of Korea 25(3). 93~138. As one of the most important sites in which language policy is articulated and through which it is disseminated, printed media reportage plays important roles in agenda setting. Drawing on Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, this study examines the effects of intertextuality on the discursive construction of immigrated students and their language competency in selected Korean newspapers. It also aims to show how the newspapers employ specific discursive strategies to represent the immigrated students and their monolingual/bilingual competence from the neoliberal perspectives. Focusing on genre, style, and discourses, which are respectively associated with representational, identificational, and actional meaning of discourse, this study found that different discursive strategies were interwoven, and that they drew on deeply entrenched ideological beliefs about language and society, such as, language as language as problems, rights, capital, and resources It was concluded that the discourses in Korean media could be conceptualized in two intersecting continua informing social integration ideological debates.

The studies on Speech Acts of Directives (and the traditional study of Imperative Sentences) of local scholars have achieved some valuable results, including the definition and the inner classification of Speech Acts of Directives based on the speaker’s authority and power, the tone of sentence. However, it is observed that in speech communication, a directive sentence is given by the speaker based on some other influences besides those factors, which is against the former studies. Therefore, there should be a more complicated mechanism in the formation of a speech act of directives, not just formed by an individual factor. This article examines the selection process of the directive speech acts based on the theory of prototypic categories, and take more complicated, organic organized contexts into consideration. The context factors can be divided into constant factors and changeable factors. The combination of the two factors decides the range of selection of directive speech acts and the final form of output of the speech act.

This study aims to investigate the effect of DDL on English lexico-grammar learning by Korean middle school students with respect to the types of learning approach (deductive vs. inductive DDL), the student’s level of English (low vs. high level), and the complexity of lexico-grammar items (simple vs. complex). A total of five experimental lessons were given to 36 students divided into two groups: one group received the lessons through the deductive DDL approach and the other group through the inductive DDL approach. The study found that both inductive and deductive DDL were effective in the learning of English lexico-grammar by the Korean middle school students. However, deductive DDL was more effective for the high level students, while inductive DDL was more appropriate for low level students. In addition, both deductive and inductive DDL were effective for teaching simple lexico-grammar items, but deductive DDL was more effective for teaching complex ones. Most of the participants showed positive responses about DDL and expressed a view that they were able to learn the meanings as well as the forms of target lexico-grammar items.

Shim, Jae Hyung. 2017. “The Relationship between a Linguistic Landscape and a Floating Population: The Case of the Greater Anyang Region”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 25(1). 85~117. The purpose of this paper is to look at a relationship between urban planning in Korean cities and linguistic landscapes. The study attempts to see the effect of urban development on the rate of English use in the public sphere, and how different sizes of a floating population affect such differences. In doing so, the Greater Anyang Region, located south of Seoul, was selected as the site for the current study. This area is comprised of three cities (Anyang, Gunpo, Uiwang) with a number of business districts including the old downtown and new centers of each city, creating a clear difference in landscape between each area. The study observed the linguistic landscape around subway stations in this region. By observing the rate of English use on commercial signs in these commercial districts, it was found that there is a parallel line between the size of a floating population and the percentage of English in the public sphere. In addition, different rates of English use in different areas reflect a decline of old downtowns, while showing the higher economic status of newer commercial districts. Such phenomena provide an instance of a close relationship between the use of English and a floating population, since the busier business districts appear to have more use of English.

Noh, Hyung-nam. 2017. “Entertainment Science Based on Deep Learning: focused on Areal Sociolinguistics”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 25(1). 27~52. The aim of this paper is to suggest a new scientific discipline in sociolinguistic research, dealing with entertainment science based on deep learning focused on areal sociolinguistics as a current methodology de facto made by ultra-fusion of area studies and sociolinguistics. From a fact-oriented and data-oriented analysis perspective this paper examines real phenomena of areal sociolinguistics provoked by two famous sing-a-song writers: America’s Robert Allen Zimmerman, so-called 2016 Nobel prize winner Bob Dylan, and Brazil’s Paulo Coelho de Souza. The results of the qualitative analyses between two eminent areas, where particular attributes of alternative societies are filled with swarm intelligence on the basis of resistance consciousness, suggest the areal sociolinguistics mentioned-above. From the diachronic and synchronic viewpoints of cross-over geographical cultures this paper makes a mid-range generalization, on making a definition about alternative societies in America and Brazil in spite of the geographical methodology of area studies between the two countries, being offered by stubborn resistance against ready-made ideas to calm down keen psychological conflicts among established moral principles to overcome philosophical catastrophe in social chaos, and full of competitive instinct against existing generations.

Lee, Jeongbok. 2016. “Unintentional Use of Discriminatory Expressions by Netizens”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(3). 345~377. The purpose of this study is to analyze the usages of discriminatory expressions used unintentionally by netizens on social network services (SNS), from a critical perspective, and to think about the problems and countermeasures of them. In chapter 2, we first review the previous studies related to the unintentional use of discriminatory expressions. Then we present three types of unintentional use of discriminatory expressions as ‘use discriminatory expressions in condition of changing the functions of them’, ‘use discriminatory expressions in condition of changing the target of discrimination’, ‘use discriminatory expressions in condition of not recognizing them’. In chapter 3, the unintentional usages of discriminatory expressions are analyzed upon the types of discriminatory expressions. In chapter 4, we present the problems of unintentional discriminatory expressions, and look for measures to prevent the use of them. Throughout all these discussions, we identified that netizens unintentionally use diverse expressions of discrimination on SNS, and the parties of discrimination are deeply hurt by the use of such expressions. The awareness and empathy of individual speakers are utmost important to prevent or eliminate the unintended use of discriminatory expressions. Along with them, efforts are needed urgently in fields of language education and language policy for reducing the use of these expressions and its negative impact.

Park, Yong-han. 2016. “A Study on the Institutional Characteristics of Military Language”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(3). 125~155. The military is a societal device established to systematically address the citizens' needs for assured national security. Thus, the military language used internally shares three common characteristics with institutional languages. The aim of this paper is to examine the institutionality of the military language by marginally introducing the concept of military as an institution, and military language as an institutional language. The military conducts various training to maximize the combat capability of its service members, and such training aims to raise combat abilities as well as to foster steadfast militaristic spirits. As a result, the instructors and their assistants appear to be task-oriented during training. And along with the trainees or recruits, they bear the certain communicational restrictions in accordance with their institutional positions. There are different frames of inference suitable to particular circumstances. The breadth of military rhetoric in such institutional interactions - such as lexical choice, turn design, sequence organization, overall structural organization, and social epistemology and social relations well convey the definitive institutional characteristics well. As an institutional device with the significant societal portion of weight, the military can have considerable effects on the society as a whole. However, a systematic and comprehensive study regarding the military society and its language has yet to be conducted. In recent times, the closed-nature of the military appears to be gradually weakening; more active research regarding the military language correlated to such contemporary trend can be expected in the near future.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the MOBA storytelling based on the concept of persuasive technology. Most of online games use spoken or written language to make the player's belief in fictional game universe. Unlike early online games such as MMORPGs, MOBA games use the character voice-over for persuasion. This paper sets up three hypotheses that are related to the process of persuasion. First, character quotes can show the character's affiliation information as regional keyword. Second, taunt quotes can show the information about relationship between game characters. Third, all types of character quotes can reflect the updated contents of game. This paper chooses the League of Legends as the example of MOBA games, and analyze the quotes in the game. As a result, three hypotheses are true.

The study aims to look into linguistic differences of essays among different scoring groups depending on TOEIC scores. In order to investigate such research questions, the Gachon Learner Corpus collected from over 25,000 essays was used. Each essay was classified into 5 different scoring groups. Statistical results were extracted based on 22 linguistic features using open-source natural language processing tools. Unlike the micro-oriented features of Crossley, Kyle, Allen, Guo and McNamara (2014), macro-oriented features were used. Since micro-feature approach needs more features than macro-feature one does, micro-feature based approach is more efficient in feature extraction process. The current study’s observation revealed that the statistically observed behaviors were varied among different scoring groups. Higher scoring groups had different strategies in language use when showing higher linguistic abilities, compared with those of lower scoring groups. Unlike the observation in Cumming, Kantor, Baba, Eouanzoui, Erdosy, and James (2016), the linguistic complexity feature(s) like syntactic complexity was not clearly distinctive between lower and higher scoring groups.

Kang, Hyeon-Seok. 2016. “Current Research Trends in Overseas Sociolinguistics: An Analysis Based on Recent Sociolinguistic Journal Articles and Conferences”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(3). 1~35. This paper is an attempt to analyze the current trends in sociolinguistic research overseas, focusing on sociolinguistic studies in the US and Britain. Three main analyses are performed in this research, i.e., analyses of the Journal of Sociolinguistics articles published in 2010~2015 years, of the sociolinguistic conferences held in 2015, and of the sociolinguistic session titles of the LSA meetings held in 2010~2015 years. The results of the analyses suggest that anthropological linguistics, language variation, discourse analysis, and language contact still remain as the most influential subfields of sociolinguistics, while research fields of sociophonetics, social media studies, language landscape, and documentary linguistics have been establishing themselves as new research areas since 1990s.

본 연구는 그림책 읽기 후 유형별 드라마 활동이 학생들의 말하기, 글쓰기, 창의적 언어표현력 신장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보는데 그 목적을 두었다. 연구의 목적을 위해 경기도 도농복합 A시의 초등학생 29명을 대상으로 9개월간 연구를 수행하였다. 학생의 ‘말하기・쓰기’ 및 ‘창의적 언어 표현력 의 변화’를 검증하기 위해 말하기 수행 평가 및 글쓰기 작품을 프로그램 실시 전・후 비교 분석하였다. ‘언어창의성 변화’는 프로그램 실시 전․후를 Torrance TTCT 언어창의력 검사지의 사전 검사와 사후 검사간의 변화를 spss 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 대응표본 t-검정을 통해 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 그림책 읽기 후 드라마 활동이 말하기 능력 신장에 긍정적인 효 과를 나타내었다. 몸짓의 평가요소인 적극성, 자연스러움, 언어와의 조화, 그리고 표정의 적절성, 다양 성, 자연스러움이 증가하였으며, 성량. 어조, 발음의 명확성도 의미 있는 증가를 보였다. 둘째, 글쓰기 능력 역시 향상되었는데, 주제와 관련된 낱말을 연상하여 생각과 느낌을 표현하는 능력과 낱말에 꾸미 는 말을 넣어 자연스럽게 문장을 완성하는 능력이 향상되었다. 또 한 낱말을 연결하여 3~4개 문장의 자 연스러운 짧은 글로 표현하는 능력도 향상되었고 주제와 관련하여 긴 글의 자연스러운 문장 능력도 향 상되었다. 셋째, 언어창의력 역시 향상되었는데, 유창성, 융통성, 독창성에서 프로그램 적용 후의 평균값 이 향상되었다. 본 연구는 창의적 언어표현력 신장을 위해 그림책 읽기 후 유형별 드라마 활동을 하는 것이 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있다는 기초 자료를 제공해주었다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 볼 수 있다.

이 논문에서는 셰이머스 히니의 시를 바흐찐의 언어관과 대화주의의 시 각으로 읽어보려 한다. 탈식민주의 시인으로서 히니는 지시대상과 기호 간의 분열과 자의성을 인지하지 않을 수 없는 조건이었고, 주어진 외부의 언어인 영어로 자신의 경 험과 사회를 재현하기에는 이질적이고 충분치 않았다. 이몬 휴즈의 언급대로 상호텍스 성과 상호대화성은 이러한 문제를 해결하기에 적합하다고 볼 수 있다. 히니와 바흐찐 에게 자아와 주체는 닫혀있거나 텍스트에서 권위적으로 모든 언술들을 다 통합하거나 통제하는 것이 아니라, 타자들의 언술과 다양한 상호작용을 하면서 새롭게 자아를 형 성해가는 과정이었다. 그리고 이러한 상호대화와 역동적 과정에서 히니 시의 개성적인 스타일이 성취되었다고 말할 수 있다.

본 연구는 중학교 국어 교과의 읽기 영역에서 문학 장르와 비문학 장르에 각기 적합한 국어 교과 내 언 어 영역 통합 교수 학습 모형을 구안 적용함으로써 학습자의 자기 주도적 학습 능력을 신장시키는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 문학 장르에서는 읽기 영역에서 문제 중심, 팀 중심의 ‘창틀 채우기’ 교수‧학습 모형을 적용하고 이를 확장하여 ‘독서 토론하기’와 ‘논증 글쓰기’까지 통합하여 수업에 적용하였다. 비문학 장르에 서는 읽기 영역에서 ‘의미지도 만들기’ 교수 학습 모형을 바탕으로 ‘문단형식 글쓰기’를 통합하여 수업에 적용하였다. 그리고 이러한 교수 학습 모형에서 적합한 포트폴리오 방식의 수행평가를 적용하였다. 그 결 과, 학습자의 학습흥미를 높이고 학습자가 교수 학습 과정에 적극적으로 참여하도록 유도할 수 있었고, 효 과적으로 자기 주도적 학습 능력을 신장시킬 수 있었다.

胡寬(1952-1995)은 우리에게도, 중국 독자들에게도 낯선 시인이다. ‘七月派’ 시인 胡征의 아 들이었던 후콴은 아버지의 정치적 수난으로 인해 불우한 유년을 보내야 했고, 43세에 지병으 로 사망했다. 1976년경 시작된 후콴의 시 쓰기는 今天이 대변하는 몽롱시의 시대사조와는 거의 무관했고, 北京 중심의 ‘홍위병 세대 공감’으로부터 동떨어져 자신만의 시를 썼다. 현실 에 대한 신화적 상상이나 낭만을 허용하지 않는 후콴은 태생적 반항과 懷疑, 시를 통한 현실 顚覆을 실험하고 실현했다. 후콴은 상존하는 죽음의 위협에 직면한 자신의 불안과 공포, 좌절을 객관화하고, 그것을 冷酷과 奇異에 가까운 시적 형상으로 재구성한다. 그의 시는 당면한 현실의 부조리를 드러낼 뿐 문제해결의 가능성이나 필요에 주목하지 않는다. 후콴은 ‘삶과 죽음의 경계’ 위에서 이방 인처럼 시를 썼고, 모든 관습과 전통의 ‘이교도’를 자처했다. 중국 當代詩의 변방에서, 후콴은 중국 사회의 소외와 그 비극을 시로써 형상화하고 있었다.

Hong Min-pyo. 2016. “Research Trends of Japanese Sociolinguistics”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(1). 311~336. This paper provides an overview of the background of emergence and current research trends of Japanese Sociolinguistics, based on the contents of ’Language Life’ that has been published since 1956 in “Japanese Linguistic”, the official journal of the Linguistic Society of Japan (currently the Society for Japanese Linguistics). It introduces the concept of Language Life, the role and research achievements of National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics in study of Japanese language life, the survey on the use of common language in Tsuruoka region, the formation process of common language in Japan, the problem in researches of Japanese language life, the emergence process of Japanese Sociolinguistics, and the special theme discussed in ”The Japanese Journal of Language in Society”, which is the official journal of Japanese Association of Sociolinguistic Sciences. Furthermore, it introduces the current trends and outcomes of the researches of Contrastive Sociolinguistics, Econolinguistics, Welfare Linguistics and Language Landscape. In particular, research trends and outcomes of Welfare Linguistics offer an interesting implication that outcomes of language studies should contribute to the happiness and welfare promotion of social members, as well as pursue new truth.

Cho Yong‐joon･Ha Ji‐hee. 2016. “On the sociolinguistic variation of Korean mirative markers ‘‐kuna’, ‘‐ney’ and ‘‐ta’”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(1). 241~269. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the sociolingustic variation of Korean mirative markers ‐kwuna, -ney and ‐ta, through an experimental method. A 7‐point Likert scale task was adopted for this purpose. The participant’s age was the significant social factor of the observed linguistic variation, but gender does not play any significant role. Particularly, the elderly generation prefers ‐kwuna for a mirative marker, but this tendency declines for young generation. ‐ta seldom functions as a mirative marker for elderly generation, but it gets an independent status as the mirative marker for young generation. The negative semantico‐pragmatic properties of ‐kwuna affects this change.

Ahn June-hui. 2016. “Language socialization of politeness in a Korean preschool”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(1). 175~211. This paper examines language socialization practices regarding politeness in a Korean preschool. In particular, it analyzes linguistic and paralinguistic features of politeness that teachers emphasize in their everyday discourses with children, and examines the ways that children reproduce or reconstruct these features and other linguistic resources in their peer talk. The analysis of teacher-children discourses shows that teachers emphasize pragmatic features of politeness such as polite forms of request, politeness routines, soft voices, high pitch, and rising intonations while not correcting inappropriate and ungrammatical uses of honorifics. Moreover, the analysis of children's peer talk demonstrates that children strategically use various linguistic and paralinguistic features of politeness to address goals of their culture-laden peer worlds such as pursuit of power and authority, alliance formation, or evasion of adult control. These findings are discussed in relations to language socialization research, studies on Korean politeness, and research on peer talk.

Park Eun-ha. 2016. “Comparative Study of Linguistic Aspects Expressed in Cosmetic TV Commercials: With a Special Focus from 1960 to 1989 and from 2013 to 2015”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(1). 149~174. This study examines and compares characteristics of sentences, vocabularies, textual structures, and types of persuasion in cosmetics TV commercials that have aired before the 1980s (1960~1989) and in the last three years (2013~2015). The study consists of four parts, and the findings are as follows: First, in order of frequency of occurrences, “declarative sentences” ranks the first, followed by “imperative sentences” before the 1980s and “interrogative sentences” in the last three years. Word final endings reveal that nouns have been the most frequent in both periods, followed by haera style before the 1980s and haeyo style in the last three years. Second, this study examines the main topic and characteristics of vocabulary in cosmetics TV commercials. The results show that “skin” is the most frequent main topic in both periods. Remarkable topics in use indicate: “color” and “scent” before the 1980s, “moisture” and “anti-aging” in the last three years. In the use of foreign languages, alphabets have been in use for the written caption in the last 3 years, while Hangeul (Korean alphabet) were used for the written caption before the 1980s. Third, with regard to the textual structure, it is noted that the structural factors of the advertising texts were observed similarly. In the two periods under study, caption and female narrators texts have been the most frequently or mainly. Compared from 1960 to 1989 with from 2013 to 2015, male characters have appeared somewhat in the last three years while there have been no male characters before the 1980s. Finally, for the type of persuasion, “straightforward type” ranks the highest, followed by “economical type”, and “CM song type” before the 1980s, and “mixed type” among various types in the last three years.
