Abstract
This study analyzes types of abbreviations in new words in Japanese and Korean. abbreviation types in the previous study (Type I [Alphabet Initial Type], Type II [Chinese Pronunciation Change Type], Type III [Shape abbreviation Type], Type IV [Combination Type], Type V [Independence Type]) were adopted for an analysis method with newly added Type VI [Phoneme Shortening Type]. Representative types of abbreviation in Japanese and Korean were [IIIIII], [prototypeIII] and [IIIprototype] and these occupy over 50% of target words. Type III is a dominant abbreviation type of new words. This indicates that there are a lot of abbreviation hybrid words formed with foreign words. Especially, in Type III, the omission of the rest was most frequent in Japanese while the form change depending on the location predominated in Korean. The second dominant type was Type IV, which indicates the ellipsis of Chinese words, in both Japanese and Korean. Types II and VI which indicate characteristics of Japanese and Korean, respectively, have an extremely low portion of Japanese and Korean new words. The scholarly contribution of this study is to give a comparison of types of new word abbreviations in Japanese and Korean.
