After Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule, the U.S. established USAMGIK (United States Army Military Government in Korea). USAMGIK required many Korean-English interpreters to serve as language specialists and administrative officers. This study considers Korean military interpreters as a collective concept referring to a group of language experts and aims to analyze news reports about the group from 1945 to 1953. At that time, some news reports criticized Korean interpreters who served for the U.S. military because the experts abused their language power to influence Korean people by using their social position to pursue their own interests. However, such negative opinion revealed multifaceted problems, such as political dissent from the USAMGIK and its flawed language policy. From the perspective of Wodak and Reisigl’s (2001) proposed Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA), it can be explained as interdiscursive relationships among discourses about Korean military interpreters and the USAMGIK. Through an analysis of these overlapping discourses, this study discusses their interconnectedness.

Cho, Eun & Oh, Sun-Young. (2023). “Representation of Native English Teachers and Korean English Teachers in Korean English Newspapers: A Corpus-based Critical Discourse Analysis”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea, 31(2). 95-123. Native-speakerism, a pervasive issue in the field of English Language Teaching, is observed globally and prevalent in Korea. This ideology negatively affects both Native English Teachers (NETs) and Non-native English teachers like Korean English Teachers (KETs) for some reasons. This study utilizes corpus-based critical discourse analysis to examine the linguistic patterns and referential expressions used in Korean English newspapers to represent NETs and KETs. The analysis reveals significant disparities in their positions and authority within Korean English classrooms. Specifically, NETs are labeled as “assistants,” implying a subordinate role with limited authority, while KETs are referred to as “co-teachers,” signifying a more secure status. Moreover, the study highlights the challenges faced by KETs in demonstrating their English proficiency and sheds light on the discrimination faced by NETs who possess commodified linguistic capital and are of Caucasian descent. These findings emphasize the importance of raising awareness of native-speakerism in Korean newspapers.

On October 26, 1909, Ahn Jung-geun shot and killed Ito Hirobumi, the culprit of Japan’s Meiji Restoration period and the chairman of the Privy Council, at Harbin Railway Station. This was a major historical event that shook Asia and the world‘s political arena at that time. More than one hundred years have passed since the incident, but Ahn Jung-geun will always be a patriotic hero model and representative of Oriental pacifism in the eyes of the world. Ahn Jung-geun was imprisoned in Lushun Prison shortly after he assassinated Ito Hiroshi. During the struggle in prison for more than five months, based on international politics, he comprehensively and profoundly exposed the Japanese imperialist invasion of Korea and China represented by Ito Hirobumi. The historical crimes in Northeast China greatly attacked Japan’s aggressive arrogance and demonstrated the legitimacy and rationality of Harbin‘s righteous deeds. At this time, his “independence war theory” was gradually sublimated into “Eastern peace theory”. This article comprehensively sorts out the historical materials of Chinese news newspapers and periodicals issued after Ahn Jung-geun‘s Harbin Charity Act, and analyzes in detail the Chinese people’s evaluation and attitude towards Ahn Jung-geun and Harbin‘s Charity Act. In particular, the Chinese revolutionary newspapers headed by “Shenzhou Daily(神州日報) and “MinYu Daily”(民吁日報) immediately reported in the form of special telegrams, telegrams, social reviews, and social talks. These reports praised Ahn Jung-geun’s feat and exposed Japan‘s ambitions to invade South Korea and China.

In the contrasting reports of the THAAD deployment in South Korea, the conflicting national media stances are reflected in the discursive patterns of the Chinese and Korean newspapers' headlines. Grounded upon van Dijk's socio-cognitive perspective in the critical discourse analysis, these patterns are analyzed in terms of the Attitude systems of the Appraisal Theory. The data of headlines are collected from online articles in Chinese and Korean major daily newspapers. The findings show that the newspapers' contrasting stances on the THAAD issues are discursively differentiated into their attitudinal representations of the headlines. These results also demonstrate the discursive strategy of positive self and negative other presentation to establish each nation's solidarity involved in the THAAD issues.

Based on statistics of 7,629,399 characters from South Korea’s three largest newspapers in simplified Chinese corpus from the year of 2017 to 2019, we, with the help of a webzip of Chinese research helper and word segmentation software, found that the total number of font shapes was 5582 and that of None Universal Standardized Chinese Characters was 997, the latter of which contained traditional ones, variant and old glyphs, characters of dialects, wrong uses, names of people, places and objects, terminology and swearing, characters with overseas origin, and so on. A systematic and comprehensive survey of None Universal Standardized Chinese Characters helps to solve the problems of information switching and language communication between home and abroad. The comparative study can explore the feasibility, method and scope of cooperation between home and abroad in characters, which has a strong reference value not just for the standardization of Korean educational characters including machine-used Chinese characters and those for examination but for making language policy.

本稿では、1868年に創刊された諸新聞に日本の新聞大衆化の萌芽を見 出すことはできないかという問題を提起し、各紙の創刊号の序文やあと がきに書かれた発行の目的・編集方針、および記事本文の振りがなにつ いて、『大衆化』『わかりやすさ』という観点から考察した。 序文やあとがきの調査からは、他国の新聞事情や新聞の有益さを述べ ることで新聞を普及させようとしたり、記事のわかりやすさや人々の啓 蒙がめざされたりしたことがわかった。同時に、中外新聞等によって 新聞人気が広まりつつあることが認識されており、事業として成功させ ようという考えが存在したこともうかがい知ることができた。1868年は 新聞の普及がめざされ、そしてそれが実現されようとした時期だったと いうことである。 振りがなの調査からは、すべての漢字に振りがなが付けられることは なかったが、総振りがなに近いほど多用した記事や両振りがなを用いた 記事もみられた。これは、人々の啓蒙や事業としての成功を成し遂げる ために記事をわかりやすくする手段の一つとして振りがなが利用された ためと考えられる。 以上により、1868年を日本の新聞大衆化の萌芽の時期とみることは可 能であると結論づけた。

이 연구는 21세기 들어 G2 국가로 부상하며 동북아시아에서도 막강한 영향력을 과시하고 있 는 중국과 관련해, 한국과 일본 신문들은 對中國 보도에서 어떤 특징을 선보이는지 보도 비중과 함께 보도 주제, 보도 양식, 그리고 정보원의 다양성 차원에서 조선일보와 한겨레, 마이니치와 아사히 신문을 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 일본 언론들이 중국에 대한 보도 분량을 미국에 대한 보 도 분량과 비슷할 정도로 무게 있게 책정한데 반해 한국 언론들은 여전히 미국 중심적인 보도 속에 대중국 보도 분량이 일본에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이와 함께, 주제를 둘 러싼 다양성에 있어서는 국가 간의 차이보다 언론사 간의 차이가 컸으며 기사 양식과 관련해서는 양국 보수지 및 진보지 사이의 이념적 차이가 국가적 차이보다 두드러진 것으로 나타났다. 마지 막으로, 정보원에 있어서는 한⋅일 양국 간의 차이가 대단히 큰 것으로 나타나 현지 언론을 주로 인용하는 한국 언론들에 비해 직접 취재는 물론, 인터뷰와 현지 언론 등을 고르게 이용한 일본 신문들의 다양성이 한국에 비해 매우 높은 것으로 조사됐다.

This study compared and analyzed the consumption and amount of red pepper used in Baechu Kimchi (cabbage Kimchi) especially the amounts used in Kimchi recipes with respect to the passage of time from the 1930s to the 2010s. In this analysis, 78 recipes for cabbage Kimchi were taken from books, daily newspapers and magazines from 1930 to 2014 and collected for comparison. The result of the study showed that the consumption and inclusion of dried red pepper powder in cabbage Kimchi increased. The average consumption of red pepper in the 1930s was 5.75 g, and the number went up to 8.83 g in the 1940s, to 13.8 g in the 1950s, and to 20.25 g in the 1960s. The amount dramatically increased from 1970 to 1980 (53.37 g) and kept rising until 2010 (71.26 g). The average consumption of red pepper in cabbage Kimchi in the 2010s is about 12 times that of the 1930s.

This study investigated correction reports in Korean newspapers, both conservative newspapers and progressive newspapers, from 2008 to 2012 to urge a realistic alternative. Newspapers with the most correction reports were in the order of “Chosun Ilbo”, “ DongA Ilbo”, “Hankyoreh Shinmoon” and “Kyunghyang Shinmoon”. 25 statements of apology for misreport were made by conservative newspapers (11) and progressive newspapers (14). The number of statements of apology for misreport was in the case of Kyunghyang Shinmoon(4 times, 80%), Hankyoreh(twice, 22.2%), Chosun Ilbo(3 times, 60%), Dong-A Ilbo (3 times, 66.7%).

온라인 커뮤니티의 대안적 미디어로서의 가능성은 온라인이라는 플랫폼이 가진 개방성과 자율성과 같 은 매체기술적 요인 이외에도 다양한 커뮤니케이션 요소로부터 적지 않은 영향을 받는다. 이러한 다양한 요소들 가운데, 이 연구는 토론 주제가 가지는 속성이 온라인 커뮤니티의 대안성 발휘에 상당한 영향을 미 칠 수 있다고 보고, ‘개성공단 사태’라는 정보 접근의 제약이 크고, 대안적 의견과 주장의 다양성을 확보하 기 어려운 이른바 토론 난제에 대한 온라인 토론에서도 대안성이 발휘될 수 있는지를 검토해 보았다. 이를 위해, 연구는 ‘개성공단 사태’에 대한 온라인 커뮤니티(<다음 아고라>)가 종이신문의 보도 양상(양적 내용 분석)과 프레임(질적 내용분석)에 견주어 어떠한 구성적 다양성과 내용적 차별성을 보이는지를 분석했으 며, 그 결과는 크게 다음의 두 가지 차원으로 요약된다. 먼저, 종이신문의 보도 양상에 견주어, <다음아고 라> 토론은 과도한 ‘선정적 단어’ 사용, 부정적 인식 일색의 ‘미래 전망’, 그리고 ‘국내 전문가’ 중심의 제한 된 ‘정보원 활용’이라는 한계를 드러내고 있었다. 다음으로, 미디어 프레임에 있어 <다음 아고라>는 개성 공단 사태의 ‘배경 및 원인’과 ‘결과’ 프레임에서 종이신문과 일정한 유사성을 보이면서도, 종이신문에서는 드러나지 않았던 보다 다양한 프레임을 제공함으로써 그 내용적 다양성과 차별화를 보여주고 있었다. 특 히, 이와 같은 내용적 대안성은 사태의 ‘해결 방안’으로 ‘고립 전략’이라는 차별화된 프레임에서 두드러졌 는데, ‘대화유도’에 방점을 둔 종이신문과 큰 간극을 보여주었다. 결론적으로 이 연구는 온라인 커뮤니티 의 대안적 미디어로서의 역할과 기능이 토론 난제에서도 일정 부분 발휘될 수 있다는 것을 시사받을 수 있 었으며, 이로써 온라인 토론의 질적 수준을 어느 정도 긍정적으로 평가할 수 있었다

Tiffany & Co. had been recognized so highly in Korea even before its official advance to the country in 1991 that a successful jewelry company was called 'Korean Tiffany'. The purpose of this study was to explain how American brand Tiffany had been spread and recognized among Korean people by analyzing related articles and advertisements during the period from the Liberation to the 1989. The research method used in this study was the articles of newspapers and relevant literature. This is the result that, with the run of movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany's in Korea in 1962, the trade name and trademark of Tiffany were used illegally not only by jewelry traders but also by other businesses. Other luxury jewelry brands in the same period could not enjoy indirect advertising and spillover effects as good as Tiffany. As a result, a successful jewelry company was called 'Korean Tiffany' in 1989, and the expression is still valid in the country.

Noh, Bo-kyung & Ban, Hyun. 2014. Deciphering Ideological Representations in Editorials of Two U.S. Quality Newspapers. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 22(2), 23-44. The United States federal government entered a shutdown due to the ideological dispute between Democrats and Republicans from October 1 through 16, 2013. This paper attempts to elucidate ideological representations through a thorough analysis of editorials in two elite newspapers, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. In particular, we examined how an in-group and an out-group were formed, and how the formation was reinforced in terms of in-group homogeneity and out-group exclusion, by means of linguistic features such as naming choices, the so-called editorial we, and lexical selections, following van Dijk's (1998) ideological square. The results are as follows: (i) the Wall Street Journal emphasized “their” bad properties more aggressively than the New York Times, while the New York Times emphasized both “their” bad qualities and “our” good qualities in a more moderate way than the Wall Street Journal; (ii) the two strategies of emphasis and mitigation enabled both newspapers to reinforce in-group homogeneity and out-group exclusion: The Wall Street Journal openly framed Republicans as the in-group and Democrats as the out-group, whereas the New York Times posited Americans and Democrats as the in-group, in relation to Republicans.

본 연구는 한·미 주요일간지의 성폭력 범죄보도의 경향과 문제점을 내용분석방식을 통해 분석하였다. 분석대상 일간지는 <조선일보>, <한겨레>, <워싱턴포스트>, <뉴욕타임스>였으며, 분석 시기는 한국에서 성폭력 범죄가 사회적으로 크게 이슈화된 2008년 12월부터 2012년 10월로 설정하였다. 4개 신문의 기사 1708건을 추출하여 기사제목, 이미지, 뉴스정보원, 뉴스프레임을 중점적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 분석에 포함된 한국의 일간지에서는 성폭력 범죄보도에 선정적인 기사제목과 이미지의 사용빈도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 반해 미국의 주요 일간지는 선정적 기사제목보다는 정보적 기사제목을 두드러지게 사용하였으며, 이미지의 사용이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 한국의 분석대상 일간지는 검·경찰 및 전문가의 발언을 인용함에도 불구하고 가해자와 피해자의 진술에 따옴표를 사용하면서 마치 기자가 현장을 목격한 것 같은 묘사방식을 사용하였다. 반면, 미국 일간지는 경찰이 발표한 사건내용에 대해 주요 정보만을 중심으로 축약하여 인용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 뉴스프레임을 1차 프레임과 2차 프레임으로 구분하여 분석을 실시한 결과, 한국의 주요 일간지는 성폭력 범죄과정을 상세하게 묘사하거나 범죄 관련자들의 신상·정보공개에 대한 뉴스프레임이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 미국의 주요 일간지는 범죄 과정에 대해 사실 중심의 뉴스프레임을 주로 사용하며, 범죄 관련자들의 정보공개도 적어 성폭력 범죄보도에 있어서 신중한 태도를 보인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국의 언론은 향후 성폭력 범죄보도와 관련된 구체적인 보도준칙이나 윤리강령을 마련하거나, 성범죄 보도기사에 대한 모니터링을 통한 취재 및 보도 방식의 개선이 필요한 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 국내 어린이신문의 내용적 문제점과 원인을 탐색하여 이를 개선할 수 방안을 도출해보고자 하였다. 1차적으로 국내에서 발간되는 어린이신문에 대 한 내용적 문제점을 파악하기 위해 지면을 비교분석을 실시하였고 , 그 원인 과 해법을 탐색하기 위해 초점집단 (초등학생과 학부모, 교사, 언론인, 전문가)을 대상 으로 심층인터뷰를 실시하였다 . 내용분석 결과에 따르면, 일반 신문과는 차별되게 이 미지와 텍스트를 함께 사용한 형태의 기사와 중립·긍정적인 기사가 가장 많았다 . 어린 이신문의 기사 비중은 42%로 정보·학습적 내용과 광고가 더 높은 비중을 보였다 . 정 보·학습 콘텐츠는 영어·한자 학습에 편중되었으며 , 자체 제작보다는 학습콘텐츠 제작업 체와 이들의 출판물에 의존하는 경향이 나타났다 . 광고는 도서광고가 주류를 이루었 다. 심층인터뷰의 분석결과 , 어린이신문은 사회문제에 대한 관심과 이해 증대, 글쓰기 능력과 사고력·판단력 향상에 도움을 주는 것으로 평가되었다 . 하지만 어린이신문이 신문보다는 ‘학습지’에 가깝다고 평가되었다 . 따라서 기사의 비중 확대와 학습·정보 내 용과 광고의 축소, 초등학생의 학년별 수준에 맞춘 기사 제공의 필요성이 제기되었다 . 아울러, 어린이신문의 활성화와 가정·학교에서의 이용 활성화를 위해서는 어린이신문 의 보급에 대한 재정 지원, 읽기 문화 진흥을 위한 정책의 필요성이 제시되었다 .

Kim Myung-hee. 2012. Analysis of English Newspapers' Coverage of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in Japan, Korea, and the U.S. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 20(2), pp. 93-114. The present paper aims to explore the different perspectives found in the English newspapers' coverage of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in Japan, Korea and the U.S., by using a corpus-based critical discourse analysis, The data is drawn from newspaper articles published in the Japan Times, the Korea Times, and the New York Times from March 11, 2011 to April 30, 2011. It is assumed that the different perspectives or ideological stances taken by each newspaper will affect the articles both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitatively, it is hypothesized that the keywords list and the thematic distribution of the articles in each national newspaper will be influenced by the perspectives of the society or culture a given newspaper is part of. A qualitative analysis of the headlines and the articles will also show the newspapers' different perspectives of the same event. This paper uses the framework of the ‘ideological square (van Dijk 1998)’ to explore this issue: the positive representation of one's own group and the negative representation of that of others.

청말민초(清末民初) 일본인들에 의해 새롭게 조어된 신조어들이 일본에서 번 역된 도서나 일본에 유학한 중국인들에 의해 대거 중국으로 전래되었다. 한편 8,90년대 일본의 신조어는 일본 문화와 기술의 유행으로 인해 중국과 대만, 홍콩 등지로 전파되었고, 이는 일본어 신조어가 중국어로 유입되는 제2의 전성기가 되 었다. 중국과 일본 사이에는 과거에 대규모의 언어접촉이 있었으며, 이로 인해 두 언어 사이에는 대량의 동형사(同形詞)가 존재하고 있는데, 일본문화청이 발간한 《中国語と対応する漢語》(文化廳，1978) 중에는 75%가 동형사(同形詞)이며, 그 중 대부분이 의미가 같거나 혹은 어휘의 의미가 매우 비슷한 ｢S(Same)｣류에 속하고 있다. 모국어의 대한 능력은 중국어를 모국어로 하는 학습자에게 “글자를 보면서 뜻 을 알게 되는” 현상으로 옮겨가고, 비교적 쉽게 일본어 속의 한자어휘를 습득할 수 있게 한다. 그러나, 중국어 속의 지식으로 일본의 한자 어휘를 이해할 때는 실 제 어휘의 의미에 대해 잘못 이해하거나 오류를 범하게 되는 경우가 쉽게 일어나 는데, 이는 두 언어 사이에는 형태는 같으나 의미가 다른 단어들이 존재하고 있기 때문이다. 본문은 21세기(2000년부터 지금까지)까지 발간된 신문과 잡지를 대상으로, “일 본에서 온 어휘”가 홍콩 사회에서 사용되는 상황과 특징 및 그 배경을 살펴보고, 홍콩의 일본어 학습자들이 중국어와 일본어의 혼란스러운 언어 환경 속에서 일본 한자어를 습득해 나가는 어려움을 집중적으로 논의하였다.

清末民初，大量由日人創製的新詞譯詞隨日譯外國書籍及留日中國士子傳入中國；八九十年代，日語新詞隨日本的流行文化和技術，傳入中港臺等地，掀起日語新詞滲入漢語的第二個高潮。中日之間過去有過大規模的語言接觸，令兩種語言之間存在大量的同形詞。沈國威(2010)指出中日同形詞佔46.9%**。 日本文化廳(1978)《中国語と対応する漢語》中所收錄的詞彙裡，75%為同形詞，當中大部份更屬於詞義相同或非常接近的「S(Same)」類***。母語的正遷移作用令漢語母語話者「望文生義」，較易掌握日語中的漢字詞彙。然而，以漢語中的知識理解日本漢語詞彙，其實容易造成詞義理解上的偏差和誤解，因為中日同形詞中還有一些詞義不同的同形異義詞。本文將以21世紀(2000至2008)的報刊、雜誌為對象，探討「日語借詞」在香港社會的使用概況、特點和背後的原因等，藉以了解香港日語學習者在「中日夾雜」的語言環境下，掌握日語漢字詞彙的困難。

This study was intended to help children to cultivate and develop a sound attitude toward food consumption and eating habits through the analysis of food and nutritional information in news articles and advertisements in three major daily children's newspapers in Korea: The Chosen Children's Daily Newspaper, The Hankook Children's Daily Newspaper, and The Donga Children's Daily Newspaper. The monitoring period was for twelve months, January to December 2003. Two hundred seventy-nine articles and three hundred thirty-five advertisements were analyzed. The results were as follows. 'Cooking and health' were the most frequent subject in food and nutrition articles. The articles' contents are evaluated positively in morality and explanation; but negatively in fairness, specialization, and objectiveness. The articles were insufficient in the explanation of professional terms, scientific bases, and practical measures for real life. It therefore seems that they were difficult for children to understand well. The most frequent themes in the advertisements were 'processed fats and sugars' such as chocolate, candies, and cookies. Frequently, they were exaggerated and accompanied by phrases promoting consumption. They did not provide sufficient well-grounded information, and focused too much on events or gifts to instigate consumer sentiment. In conclusion, the most serious problem was that most food and nutrition information in these children's newspapers was lacking in specialization. More specialized and objective information should be provided in order to enhance the educational value of children's newspapers and their utilization in school education programs. Continuous monitoring should be carried out to discover those news articles and advertisements that contain correct food and nutrition information.

This study aims to describe social concerns with the handicapped reflected in editorials in Korean daily newspapers. Data were derived from the editorial articles dealing with the handicapped that appeared in two main newspapers in Korea, The Dong-A Ilbo and The Chosun Ilbo, for the past thirty-one years from January 1, 1970, to December 31, 2000. The contents analysis of the editorials was conducted based on three categories: types of the disabilities, contents of the articles with respect to social environment and rehabilitation for the whole person, and reporting disposition of the editorials. The results are summarized as follows: The results did not show any significant pattern in quantitative change of editorials. For the monthly distribution of the editorials, it was shown that the newspapers commented on the handicapped most frequently in April and December the month in which public attention was most directed to the disadvantaged. A pattern was observed in terms of temporal changes in social concerns and attitude toward the handicapped. While social concerns with physical and social cognitive environments tended to increase, those with medical and educational rehabilitation tended to decrease.
