The purpose of this paper is to investigate the usage of address terms for professors by undergraduate and graduate students by the sociolinguistic methodology. To this end, this paper applied an integrated approach that combines quantitative analysis based on the response results of multiple-choice questions in the survey and qualitative interpretation based on the response results of subjective questions in both the survey and the in-depth interview. First, through quantitative analysis of the variation in the use of address terms, it was confirmed that “professor” occupies an overwhelming proportion and that the academic field of the speaker is the most important factor. The higher the intimacy with professors, the more “teacher” was used. Next, through the qualitative interpretation of the reason and meaning of using their choice of address terms, the most basic and superficial reason was to follow the experiences and customs in the affiliated community. The use of “professor” had some reasons or meanings such as meeting courtesy and expectations, highlighting privileged status, and equal respect for all the faculty members, whereas “teacher” was used as an expression of intimacy.

本稿は、韓国と日本の教員を対象とし、非教員に対する先生呼称の使用実態と意識を対照分析した。分析の結果、以下のような結果が得られた。第一に、非教員が先生と呼称されることに違和感を感じる教員は日本の方が韓国より多く、違和感がないと答えた教員は韓国の方が多い。先生呼称使用の拡大傾向は日本より韓国の方がもっと強くなると考えられる。また、韓国の教員の場合、非教員に比べて教員に対する呼称＝先生という絶対的な呼称意識が強い。第二に、韓国の教員は典型的に先生と呼称される職業群以外の人に対する先生呼称の使用率が低く、韓国社会の先生呼称使用の拡大傾向のレベルまでは至っていない。日本の教員の先生呼称の使用対象は非教員のそれとあまり違いがない。今後、韓国社会における先生呼称使用の拡大現象を受け入れる速度は教員より非教員の方が速いと予測されており、日本社会では教員、非教員ともにその現象を受け入れる速度には違いがないと見られる。

This study examines and compares the address terms in Korean textbooks and questionnaires, which are aimed at married migrant women. The results of the study show that among the eight major Korean address terms, the frequent uses of the kin and kinship address terms are founded in the Korean textbooks and married migrant women. Because they are bound by marriage, married migrant women talk more frequently with their husbands, parents-in-law, and relatives than the others. Moreover, due to their recent migration to Korea, they do not only connect with others but also cannot converse well in Korean. The results also illustrate that a few terms of address exist in Korean textbooks. While all address terms in Korean textbooks coincide with standard speech, some address terms revealed in questionnaires are not appropriate for standard speech. “obba” and “name (married migrant women)” are most frequently used between married migrant women and their husbands. Further, “ya, eo-i” is more frequently used by parents-in-law and relatives for addressing married migrant women. The address terms such as “obba,” “name,” and “ya, eo-i” are incorrect address terms for expressing the relationship between a husband and a wife—family. Both parties concerned with Korean textbooks and Korean education must devote considerable space, and time to teaching the address terms so that they can be used efficiently by married migrant women.
