This paper addresses the issues of language use, maintenance and attitudes towards the heritage language faced by Korean children in the Korean community in PR China. Despite a large number of Korean migrants and speakers settled in China’s major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and China, the Korean community in China has not to date attracted much attention from sociolinguistic researchers. This study examines how Korean migrant children communicate in their daily life, whether and to what extent they have maintained their heritage language, and what perceptions they have towards Korean language and cultural identity. It also examines factors that have impacted on the maintenance (or shift or loss) of language and cultural identity, in what ways the students are attempting to maintain its heritage language and what community resources are utilised to that end. This study has utilised a qualitative case study method, and the data for this study was obtained through semi-structured telephone interviews. The interviews were conducted with five volunteer students who were enrolled in Primary, Middle and High Schools in South China. The paper presents an analysis of results and discusses implications for language maintenance and the formation of cultural identity.
Abstract
This paper addresses the issues of language use, maintenance and attitudes towards the heritage language faced by Korean children in the Korean community in PR China. Despite a large number of Korean migrants and speakers settled in China’s major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and China, the Korean community in China has not to date attracted much attention from sociolinguistic researchers. This study examines how Korean migrant children communicate in their daily life, whether and to what extent they have maintained their heritage language, and what perceptions they have towards Korean language and cultural identity. It also examines factors that have impacted on the maintenance (or shift or loss) of language and cultural identity, in what ways the students are attempting to maintain its heritage language and what community resources are utilised to that end. This study has utilised a qualitative case study method, and the data for this study was obtained through semi-structured telephone interviews. The interviews were conducted with five volunteer students who were enrolled in Primary, Middle and High Schools in South China. The paper presents an analysis of results and discusses implications for language maintenance and the formation of cultural identity.
