중국 재외 동포 작가 아동 문학 텍스트에 나타난 어휘 사용 양상 분석

초록

This study explored Korean language education by Koreans overseas from sociolinguistic and textual linguistic perspectives by analyzing the linguistic characteristics of children’s literature written by Chinese- Koreans in China, Japan, and Russia. Designed as a special subsidy project for national character publications by Yanbian People’s Publishing House, a representative overseas Chinese publishing house, the study was intended to extract linguistic aspects from 20 volumes of a Chinese-Korean picture book series published in 2017. The vocabulary dimensions were distinguished as follows: (1) vocabulary only in Chosun-eo; (2) vocabulary in North Korean, (3) vocabulary listed in standard Korean language dictionaries but not common in Korean daily life; (4) Chinese characters; and (5) vocabulary used in another linguistic register. The study identified some linguistic peculiarities of Korean children’s literature by Chinese-Koreans at the phenomenological level, and it established a basic research method to qualitatively analyze interpersonal interviews of Chinese-Korean generations. Despite its limitation of not achieving the status of a full sociolinguistic study, it should help to revitalize discussion of the issue.
