「블랙(ブラック)」「레드(レッド)」차용어에 대한 일고찰 ―구글 검색을 분석툴로―

Abstract

This study focused on the loanwords 블랙(ブラック) and 레드(レッド) and examined how they are actually used in Google in light of the meaning of the web dictionaries of Korea and Japan. The results are as follows: First, the number of 블랙(ブラック) and 레드(レッド) borrowed words registered in the web dictionary was 블랙71, 레드35, ブラック46 and レッド20. Second, the most commonly borrowed vocabulary words in both Korean and Japanese were loanwords of the same form. However, some loanwords (e.g., red zones,) were identical but partially matched in meaning (e.g., black hole) or were completely different. Third, 블랙(ブラック) and 레드(レッド) loanwords, which appeared in common in Korea and Japan, topped the Google search list. Fourth, in the case of 블랙 and ブラック loanwords, the meaning of web dictionaries and Google-related search themes often matched. Finally, in the case of 레드 borrowed words in Korean, the actual usage of Google was somewhat different from the meaning listed in the web dictionary. On the other hand, it was found that Japanese レッド loan words were relatively based on the meaning in web dictionaries. Above, we examined various loanwords based on 블랙(ブラック) and 레드(レッド) vocabulary. In the future, I plan to expand the research scope to examine the use of other color loanwords and understand the overall language environment in which color loanwords are used in both Japan and South Korea.
