This study analyzes the usage of “Haeyo(-이에요/예요, -이에요/예요?, -아/어 요, -아/어요?)” and “Hapsyo(-입니다, -입니까?, -ㅂ/습니다, -ㅂ/습니까?)” styles based on gender using the “Electronic Everyday Dialogue Corpus”. First, a question is posed regarding the appropriateness of the Korean language textbook “できる韓国語初級Ⅰ (Chapter 3: 그건 뭐예요?)”, which states that “-예요/이에요” is frequently used by women and men from Seoul, whereas “-입니다” is more commonly used by men. The findings reveal that both men and women generally prefer the “Haeyo” style, with women showing stronger inclination. Additionally, regardless of the region, both genders use the “Haeyo” style more frequently than the “Hapsyo” style. To summarize, the results of the study suggest that whereas women predominantly use the “Haeyo” style, men use both “Haeyo” and “Hapsyo” styles. This shows that Korean textbooks should provide more accurate descriptions of language use that reflect contemporary sociolinguistic trends.
