초록
The purpose of the study was to investigate the use of Korean honorifics for the heritage Koreans in the US. The study found out that the heritage Koreans in the US did not use Korean honorifics much in their writings and talk to the elderly as well. In particular, scarcely did they employ honorific affixes. They also had difficulty in using honorifics consistently in a sentence or utterance. Group and gender differences were also found. There was a significant difference in the use of Korean honorifics between lower grade students and high school students. Girls used honorifics more often than boys throughout all the categories of honorifics. Social distance played a role for their use of honorifics, too. They used more honorifics when they talked to the minister than to the teacher. It is evident that the heritage Koreans did not realize the social, linguistic, and pragmatic importance of the proper use of Korean honorifics until they became grown-ups. (Chonbuk University)
