초록

This study explores the way sexuality is portrayed in Korean subtitles of English DVDs released in the 2010s, focusing on movies rated as R in South Korea. Whilst violence and sexuality on screen have been much investigated and discussed, linguistic sexuality has been under explored in the South Korean context. With its focus on seven R rated movies and the levels of vulgarity of lines, this study identifies the correlation between the frequencies of English sexual languages and Korean translations (no shift, tone down, and some other change) and the levels of vulgarity of lines. In the category of sexual intercourse, such as ‘fuck’, ‘sex’, ‘oral sex’, and ‘masturbate’, a tendency of ‘no shift’ has been identified, while there has significantly been more shifts in the cases of body part expressions, such as ‘dick’, ‘vagina’, and ‘jock’, the majority of which has been toned down in Korean. This tendency could be construed as the reflection of low acceptance of explicit sexual body parts in Korean subtitles. However, the less frequent shifts in the cases of sexual intercourse are not because Korea is lenient to sexual portrayals; rather it suggests a close relevance of lines to the picture.

Abstract

This study explores the way sexuality is portrayed in Korean subtitles of English DVDs released in the 2010s, focusing on movies rated as R in South Korea. Whilst violence and sexuality on screen have been much investigated and discussed, linguistic sexuality has been under explored in the South Korean context. With its focus on seven R rated movies and the levels of vulgarity of lines, this study identifies the correlation between the frequencies of English sexual languages and Korean translations (no shift, tone down, and some other change) and the levels of vulgarity of lines. In the category of sexual intercourse, such as ‘fuck’, ‘sex’, ‘oral sex’, and ‘masturbate’, a tendency of ‘no shift’ has been identified, while there has significantly been more shifts in the cases of body part expressions, such as ‘dick’, ‘vagina’, and ‘jock’, the majority of which has been toned down in Korean. This tendency could be construed as the reflection of low acceptance of explicit sexual body parts in Korean subtitles. However, the less frequent shifts in the cases of sexual intercourse are not because Korea is lenient to sexual portrayals; rather it suggests a close relevance of lines to the picture.
