다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purposes of this study are to conduct a quantitative analysis on words found in lyrics of popular songs and to understand how those words are used. The study referred to the final rankings presented in ‘GAON Music Chart’ in the first half year of 2013and selected these songs from the first rank to the 50th rank in the digital general chart as research subjects. As songs enjoyed by the public, popular songs are regardedas a significant channel to mirror and represent languages of the public. However, nevertheless, the academic world has not dealt with the popular songs often. But, today, it is the popularsongs that are read and remembered more frequently than either contemporary novels or poems, and that being so, this study believes that the popular songs are worth being investigated more than any of the latter from a viewpoint of the linguistics. In the light of that, this study selects the latest and the most famous popular songs and carries out a quantitative analysison the songs in order to understand the real characteristics of the present language. This study aimed to know these particular linguistic characteristics found in the popular songs using the quantified figures. In particular, the study focused on personal pronouns and relative honorific systems appeared in the lyrics of the popular songs. As for the personal pronouns, the study noticed the development of ‘Neo’, a second-person pronoun. While these other second-person pronouns such as ‘Nim’ and ‘Dangshin’ were frequently applied in the past, now, ‘Neo’ or even ‘Nee’ which is an advanceds poken version of ‘Neo’ was being used in the lyrics quite often. In terms of the relative honorific systems used in the lyrics of the popular songs, the study found more of the informal system than the formal system, and plus, ‘Haera’ and ‘Hae’ turned out to be most frequently used in the lyrics. In addition, ‘Haera’ went with the second-person pronoun, ‘Neo’, and that proved how often the informal system is preferred for the lyrics of the contemporary popular songs. This study is considered academically significant in that it had analyzed the lyrics of the popular songs quantitatively and that it had tried to look into the language of the public by understanding the frequency.
