Abstract
Cho, Tae-Rin. 2015. On the Direction of Public Language Policy in Korea: Focused on Requirements and Guidelines of Public Language. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 40-2, 00-00. The purpose of this paper is to find a reasonable direction of public language policy in Korea by analyzing the current situation and demands. First of all, this paper defines public language as “language text produced by public institutions for a public purpose targeting members of a society (ordinary citizens)”. And then, requirements of public language, specially 'correctness' and 'communicacy(intelligibility)' are identified through the review of precedent studies. Requirements of public language can find their meaning when they are materialized into actual guidelines of public language. For that reason, guidelines of public language at home and abroad are examined, and a category of 'regard for audience' is worthy of notice. Finally, this paper proposes the following requirements of public language based on the discussions so far. Category Subcategory Regard for audience/reader Identification Focusing Addressing Communicacy Publicness Ease of understanding Appropriacy of expression Information transmissibility Visual convenience Realistic practicability These requirements can be used as the basis to establish direction of public language policy in Korea.
