정치인의 바른 언어 사용 평가를 위한 연구 : 상임위원회 회의록 중심의 공론장 발언 평가 측정 방법의 개발

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to devise and disseminate a methodology for assessing and quantifying the employment of civil language by politicians, specifically focusing on members of the National Assembly. This study examines the utilization of civil language by members during standing committee meetings, with a specific focus on the minutes. The objective is to analyze politicians’ speeches and utilize the findings to encourage the adoption of civil political language in public discourse. This study presents a novel approach that integrates the assessment of positive and respectful language with the evaluation of negative speech, encompassing the use of profanity and impolite comments. This approach was produced after thorough theoretical deliberations. The initial phase of the investigation was the implementation of the negative speech evaluation approach, which was subsequently followed by the development of a hierarchical list based on positive speech assessment. The initial phase of the negative speech analysis involved employing a methodology to assess the utilization of profanity in the politicians’ statements. This methodology was derived from the Standard Encyclopedia Dictionary published by the National Institute of Korean Language. Subsequently, the analysis progressed by employing text mining techniques to index the precise verbal expressions used. Additionally, the researchers conducted a random sampling review and conducted searches on news articles and YouTube to further augment the analysis. Furthermore, a contextual approach was utilized in the study, employing deep learning natural language processing algorithms, specifically BERT, to effectively comprehend the contextual nuances of the speech, ranging from individual sentences to entire paragraphs. The analysis of positive speech entailed identifying the most commonly used phrases and assessing them based on 16 expressions across five theoretical dimensions related to dignity and communicability. These dimensions include ‘courtesy and respect’, ‘advice’, ‘opinion inquiry’, ‘fact verification’‘ and ‘statement format’. The ultimate ranking was determined by considering both the frequency of speech and the weighted value assigned to dignified discourse. This study is anticipated to provide a valuable contribution towards the advancement of methodologies for assessing the utilization of civil language by politicians and the dissemination of a culture that promotes civil language use.
