The goal of this study is to investigate the circumstances of using foreign words and foreign characters in newspaper. Loan words are used more frequently than new foreign words in all three sections of the newspaper investigated, namely, the financial, social and sports pages. Loan words are found most often in sports page while new foreign words are used most often in the financial page. When representing the new foreign words, the Roman alphabet is used exclusively for the most part. The form of the Korean alphabet along with the Chinese character in the parentheses is found more frequently than the exclusive use of the Chinese character in the financial and social pages. On the contrary, the form of the exclusive Chinese character is used more frequently than the Korean alphabet along with the Chinese character in the sports page of newspaper.
