생성형 AI를 활용한 신어 연구 과제에 대한 고찰

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the current state of Korean neologism research and to suggest the possibility of neologism research using generative AI. Korean neologism research began to be activated by the Korean National Institute of the Korean Language’s neologism research project. Therefore, we reviewed the Korean National Institute of the Korean Language’s neologism research project by year and examined the trend of neologism research. Furthermore, it was revealed that the Korean National Institute of the Korean Language’s neologism research project is signifi cant in that it has reduced the cost of neologism research and led to an implicit consensus on the defi nition of neologisms. In the context of the ongoing research on neologisms in various ways after the Korean National Institute of the Korean Language’s neologism research project was discontinued, we focused on generative AI, which has been rapidly introduced recently. In this discussion, we extracted neologism data using generative AI and generated neologisms directly through generative AI. The generation of neologisms using generative AI was carried out in two main ways: generating euphemisms and creating appropriate words for the given situation. As a result, it was confi rmed that generative AI can generate new words in various ways depending on the prompt input. Based on this discussion, we expect that the scope of neologism research will be expanded and that neologism research through generative AI will be more active.
