남북 화법 표준화를 위한 한 모색 －호칭과 지칭을 중심으로－

Abstract

Since division of Korea into south and north, in north Korea the language prescription based on the Juche ideology has changed their language etiquettes. In south Korea those have been changed by unquestioning acceptance of foreign cultures. So the difference of the etiquettes has been being more critical. In this paper, I show principles for language etiquettes unification of both sides, centered on call names. I organized actual condition of call names in north Korea through researching some movies, dramas and books of and about north Korea. The Juche ideology has made no use some names those reflect feudalistic idea, such as ‘-ssi, seobangnim, halabeom, doryeonnim’. But some rural areas they still use some of those names. The ideology has promoted group relationship in their society and has made people use some family names among people in groups, such as, dongmu, dongji, daejangdongjiajumeoni(‘a wife of leader’；‘ajumeoni’ means aunt), seadaeju(‘a husband’；‘seadaeju’ means householder). There are systems in social call names. And they call Kimilseong(the old leader) and Kimjeongil(the present leader) using special names such as ‘Great leader Kimjeongil dongji’. Based on the research, I suggest some ways for unification principles of language etiquettes. First, they have to based on actual condition. Because prescriptions of both sides are so different and actual conditions in both sides still maintain traditional customs. Second, they should be unified step by step. First, they will be unified in each dialect region. South Korea should accept differences of north Korea caused by ideology. Third, they should decide some basic call expressions which are used frequently and widely and have productive capacity. Fourth, they need to value traditional principles as being important. Fifth, there should be two types of unification, type of rule and type of recommendation. At last, they should obey the principles of purification of the Korean language；principles of proper expressions, correct expressions and easy expressions.
