중국의 자모어 인식과 언론 매체 사용 양상의 특징— 국제기구, 국제협정 등 명칭의 한자어 사용 경향 분석

Abstract

This study examines how Chinese users perceive alphabetic words (so-called ‘Letter Words’) through social controversies over Chinese alphabetic words, identifies the situation in which alphabetic words are used in their language life, and also analyzes how the names of international organizations and international agreements are expressed in Chinese media. In China, standard dictionaries contain alphabetic words, and dictionaries that contain only alphabetic words and explain them have been published. However, in the language of the Chinese media, there was a clear tendency to prefer writing in Sino words (Chinese characters) rather than writing in alphabetic words (Roman abbreviations) for names of international organizations and international agreements. This is interpreted as the fact that the media prioritizes the understanding of remarks rather than the influence of norms or guidelines.
