국외 동포 언어 실태 조사를 위한 기초 연구 - 재일 한국인의 언어 생활에 대한 실태 조사를 중심으로 -

Abstract

A survey through interviews with Korean-Japanese has come up with the following results and issues. 1. Korean-oriented consciousness appears stronger with new than with old immigrants. 2.As for self-identity in the Korean-Japanese society, the sense of being linked to their fatherland appears stronger with new than with old immigrants. 3.The four skills in the Korean language appear stronger with new than with old immigrants, and as the difficulty level goes higher, the old immigrants in the second generation show even poorer skills in Korean. 4. As for the language used by family members, the language used by the subject to his or her family and that used to the subject by his or her family appear similar with both new and old immigrants, which indicates that the language used by the subject matches that used by the family. 5. Korean-oriented consciousness appears stronger with the second generation than with the third generation of old immigrants, while the intent to teach Korean to children and grandchildren appears strong with both the second and third generation of old immigrants.
