한국적 사회언어학의 모색 : 학제적 접근 a bold interdisiplinary suggestion = Let's Talk about "Korean" Sociolinguistics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is intended to bring up th somewhat overdue issue of what "Korean" soclinguistics is or how it should be, Sociolinguistics, focusing on how language and society are related, was born as an interdisciplinary study between linguistics and social science. Therefore, it is presumed to be able to make clear what linguistics and social sciences cannot explain well respectively. We see that since its introduction, many Korean sociolinguists have amassed numerous brilliant findings. However, as the understanding and application of the general methodology of sociolinguistics is deepening, they are finding it challenged more. This limitation appears to stem from that sociolinguistics was intrinsically developed in the English-speaking environment and that it is skewed to dealing with social factors independent. We argue that "Korean" sociolinguistics must be an interdisciplinary study between sociolinguistics and Korean study and that it can be established by applying the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to the Korean society. It is based on the belief that if Korea is different from the English-speaking society, linguistic factors should work more significantly as independent variables that before in explaining the relationship between language and society in Korea. Through this, we could achieve a more balanced view towards language and society and contribute to the development of sociolinguistics in general.
