지인 호칭에 대한 한일 대조고찰

Abstract

This paper is based on the results of Questionnaire survey about how to be called from the acquaintance in the 4th to 50 middle-aged group living in metropolitan areas of Korea and Japan. In the case of Korean middle-aged couple, men are called “first name+ssi(씨)” and women are mostly called “Jesussi(sister-in-law)” from same or higher aged people such as spouse's close friends or seniors, and men are called “their child name + dad(mom)/father(mother)” and women are mostly called “Hyeongsunim(wife of one's elder brother)” from the younger aged people as the spouse's junior. On the other hand, it was found that Japanese were mainly called “name / surname + san(さん)” from the close friends of personal relationship regardless of seniority, junior and male and female. However, it is characterized that Koreans used the title of honor such as “father” and “mother” in the public relation as their child's teacher, and Japanese used “first name + san(さん)” rather than “surname + san”. Particularly in business scenes such as department stores, both Korea and Japan are said to be called ‘customers’ or ‘guests’.
