한자어가 포함된 신어의 유형 및 사회·문화적 함의 고찰

Abstract

The purpose of this paper's study is to educate Chinese people who study Korean in new words that include Chinese characters. To this end, the research method and contents of the research were extracted from all new words published in the 『Seoul Economy』and『Asia Economy』from 2020 to 2023. The extracted new words were classified into morphological and semantic categories and analyzed. Through this, the morphological characteristics and semantic results are summarized as follows. First, when categorized in morphology, three-syllable new words accounted for the largest proportion. Second, when looking at languages style, the most common complex style with “Han + Go” appeared. Third, the proportion of each new word classification that includes Chinese characters according to the coined language method was in the order of abbreviation > synthesis > hybrid > borrowing > folding > prefix. Fourth, based on meaningful classification, social and cultural phenomena such as “social phenomena in which dating violence frequently occurred,” “serious employment difficulties,” and “increase of single-person households and the current pursuit of happiness” can be seen. New words are created by changes in cultural background or social phenomena. Therefore, if linked with social and cultural backgrounds, more effective vocabulary education can be achieved.
