This study aims at identifying how the Korean scholarly group's internet language features changed during the last 10 years. For this study, 2,450 written texts on the same web-site in which a previous study collected data were analyzed. This comparison study showed the following results: 1)First of all, the scholarly group's internet texts still involved standard language, high-quality vocabulary and long sentences; 2)However, it was very difficult to find Chinese characters and the percentage of the usage of English increased significantly; 3)Presenting objective data and numbering were still frequently seen; 4)Furthermore, typical internet languages such as slang, argot and abbreviations began to appear; 5)Texts showing self-reflection and teaching tone have been decreased. Instead, texts implying psychological pressure and worries about their jobs have increased; 6)The biggest change was that most of communicator's names were written in English (or unidentified words) or commonly used internet names. This study concludes that comparing to the previous study, the scholarly group's internet language features have changed (although some based on occupational variables remained the same), and that these changes might be affected by social changes taking place in the scholarly group.

This paper examines the distributional patterns of ‘swearing’ expressions produced in cyberspace in response to NAVER internet news articles. A range of contextual features associated with the use of swearing expressions are identified in terms of their tendency to be formulated as response cries produced as part of affectively-loaded assessments. Serving as a resource for managing face through footing shift, the ways in which swearing expressions are formulated and deployed embody the writer's orientation to treating the cyberspace where they are situated as a form of ‘social situation’ where at least some form of face/impression management is required. The predominant use of their variant forms is analyzed not simply as an attempt to outsmart the institutional attempt at controlling their use but as a collusive act through which the fellow participants are co-implicated in a collective word play organized as a cyberspace-specific form of language game. The tendency of the swearing expressions to cluster and resonate with each other suggests that swearing in cyberspace should be treated not simply as an unconstrained individualized act but as an act embedded in interactively-organized ‘word play’ activities that are obliquely, but crucially, geared to enhancing consensual grounds for shared affective stance among the members of the cyber-community of practice.

최근 인터넷 기술의 발달로 말미암아, 수많은 사람들이 인터넷을 사용하고 있고 인터넷을 통해 많은 정보를 받아들이고 있다. 현재 인터넷은 소위 '정보의 홍수'라 일컬어 질 만큼 무수한 정보를 매일같이 쏟아내고 있으며, 많은 사람들이 인터넷을 통해 지식을 얻고, 세상의 흐름을 파악하고 있는 상태이다. 이렇듯 수많은 정보가 넘쳐나기에, 그리고 정보의 신속한 배급을 최우선으로 삼기에, 인터넷에서 사용되는 언어에 있어서 문제점이 발생하게 되는 것은 피하기 어려운 현상으로 보인다. 그러나 일반인들이 블로그에 글을 올리는 것과, 아마추어 작가들이 글을 작성하여 인터넷을 통해 배포하는 것들에서조차 언어사용에 있어서의 엄격한 잣대를 모두 들이대기는 어렵겠지만, 뉴스보도의 작성자라든가, 기자, 편집자들, 특히나 사람들이 많이 보는 중요 매체의 뉴스 작업자들은, 자신들에 의해 만들어진 뉴스에 책임감을 가져야 하고, 그 뉴스를 읽는 독자에 책임감을 가져서, 자신들이 올바른 언어의 전파를 책임진다는 사명감을 가지고서 최대한 언어 사용에 있어서의 오류는 범하지 않아야 할 것이다. 본 논문은 많은 인터넷 뉴스에서 사용되고 있는 중국어 가운데, 20여개의 대표적인 예를 들어, 오자, 어법 오류, 불합리적인 사용 등 여러 방면에서 문장의 오류가 발생하게 된 원인을 분석하였다. 본인은 인터넷 뉴스에서 사용되는 중국어의 혼란 현상을 지적하고 바로 고치기 위해 노력하고, 인터넷 뉴스의 언어 사용 오류에 대한 엄정성을 제기하여 기자, 타이피스트, 편집원 등 뉴스 작업에 종사하고 있는 전문인들에게 문제의 심각성을 일깨우는 한편, 인터넷 문화 상품의 함양 개선을 강화하고자 시도하였다. 그리고 본 논문 중에서 예로 든 오류 문장들은 중국어를 가르치는 사람들에게도 충분히 참고할 만한 가치가 있으리라 확신한다.
