Kim, Seoncheol 2009 On the Concept and New Direction of 'Gugeo Sunhwa'(Korean language purification/refinement) The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 17(2). The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea Language purification, as a matter of language policy, should be handled very carefully, since it could be taken as a kind of conspiracy for exclusive nationalism or totalitarianism. In order to avoid these unexpected misunderstandings, we need to make every effort to seek morally and ideologically acceptable policies. From this point of view, I addressed the issue of Korean language purification/refinement(Gugeo Sunhwa) and discussed a new direction of 'Gugeo Sunhwa'. I suggest, as a corollary, that Korean language purification/refinement be replaced by 'Urimal Dadeumgi' (Korean language elutriation), so that it can attract interests of the community as a whole. We also need to make sure that Urimal Dadeumgi will help to enhance human right, effective communication, and the recognition of the current social attitude to language.
