Abstract
This study examines usage changes of English-based loanwords and Korean replacement words promoted by the National
Institute of Korean Language in a six-year span, using two corpora. It focuses on 18 Korean and anglicized word pairs appearing on
the National Institute of Korean Language’s website that purportedly showcase the Institute’s successful efforts to curtail the
usage of English words by promoting Korean replacement words. The results indicate that promoting Korean does not necessarily
decrease the usage of English, and that the usage of English-based words seems to increase in conjunction with the Korean words.
Several Korean words promoted by the National Institute of Korean Language have extremely low frequencies, and some loanwords are
being used with various meanings. Commentaries are provided to explain various patterns of observed usage change.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IJCL) publishes original research covering methodological, applied and theoretical work in any area of corpus linguistics. Through its focus on empirical language research, IJCL provides a forum for the presentation of new findings and innovative approaches in any area of linguistics (e.g. lexicology, grammar, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, morphology, contrastive linguistics), applied linguistics (e.g. language teaching, forensic linguistics), and translation studies. Based on its interest in corpus methodology, IJCL also invites contributions on the interface between corpus and computational linguistics.
