韓日両言語の大衆歌謡における外来語の使用傾向

Abstract

Recently, loanwords are permeating daily life deeply in the Korean and Japanese languages.　As cultural exchanges between both countries have become popular, the uses of loanwords between the two languages have become high as well. This study examines the use of loanwords between the Korean and Japanese languages in their most recent 10 years, and focuses on the titles of the popular songs between the two languages that make use of the aspect of loanwords and foreign words. As a result loanword use by the popular song title is used much more in Japanese than in Korean. Korean loanword uses are below half, percentage wise, except for the year 2009, and Japanese loanword use have consistently been over half throughout the years. Secondly, by looking at the popular song titles of the two countries, it was found that Japanese titles tend to have more “wriiting”, “coined words” and “etymology.” Much more than when compared to the popular song titles of Korea. Through this study it can be seen that the use of loanwords between the Korean and Japanese language have increased and confirms that loanwords have permeated deeply into the daily lives of the countries’ citizens.
