대입제도 개편 관련 신문 기사의 직접 인용문에 대한 비판적 담화분석: 청년 발언권 문제를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper investigates the ways in which direct quotations are used in the Korean newspaper articles on reforming university entrance system from the perspective of critical discourse analysis. The focus was put on three research questions: who is presented as the source of the utterance being reported; how their roles are represented using reporting verbs and nouns; what common-sense assumptions or ideologies lie in the discursive practice of using direct quotations in the articles, and how inequality is reproduced by the practice. To find out the answers, the sources of the utterances, the reporting verbs and the reporting nouns in the direct quotations were analyzed to check how they recontextualize the original utterances. This research reveals that the unequal power relations in the public sphere and the indifference towards the youth voice in Korean society lie underneath the discursive practice.
