Abstract

Concerning the words-use actual conditions of high school students until now, the researcher looked over the formation and use of the symbolizing words and the compound ones enriching the lexical system of Korean language, and over the functional alteration of grammar morph. The results of main discussion can be summarized as follows: First, in the formation and use of the symbolizing words, it's found that new onomatopoeic words and mimetic words, due to a time and spacial restriction in communication, have been created with a teller's intent to express an conversational scene situation, these words have been realized in a transformed form with an economical efficiency of keyboard input and an amusement motive(purpose), which are the characteristics of communication language. Second, in the formation and use of compound words, the prefixes such as ‘초(cho)-, 왕(wang)-’ etc. and the suffixes such as ‘-님(nim), -쟁이(jaeng-i)’ etc. were mainly used, and the words such as ‘-이즘/이스트(-ism/ist)’ were also used. In creating the compound words, they did so mainly by combining the newly-coined words in communication language or the existing words. Third, in the functional transformation of morph, as the case in which nouns or prefixes have played a function as the other parts of speech, the nouns such as ‘완전(wan-jeon), 대략(dae-ryak), 짱(zzang)’ assumed the form of modifying a non-predicative noun or the predicate of a sentence, the prefixes such as ‘초(cho)-, 왕(wang)-’ were used as adverbs, especially the suffix of ‘-님(nim)’ was used as the second personal pronoun. And young people have created and used new idiomatic phrases; ‘jamsu pul-da, daebak na-da, gag chin-da’.
