중국어 ‘-族’류 신조어의　사회언어학적　분석

An affix, 'family(族)' formed an independent domain among the phenomena of languages in the new era as it is rapidly derived because the term-formation is very strong and the category was already and significantly created. This study examines the semantic aspects of a neologism, '-family(族)' series, used in China from 2000 to 2010. An detailed analysis of the neologism used for 10 years, '-family(族)' series, has not been done until now and an sociolinguistic analysis was not done based on surveys. Therefore, this study first performs a morphologic and semantic analysis of the neologism, '-family(族)' series. Next, it grasps the formation mechanism and psychosocial factors by conducting a survey focusing on awareness and social consciousness about the neologism, '-family(族)' series from the viewpoint of sociolinguistics. The systematic and sociolinguistic analyses of '-family(族)' series are thought to be helpful for studies on Chinese neologisms, education, and social phenomena. This paper does not include the new neologisms disappeared while they were popular for a short period of time in the research scope. The neologisms treated in this paper are thought to be trusty in sociolinguistic consideration because their vitality has been verified for a long time as they have been defined in Chinese Neologism Dictionary, Daum Chinese Dictionary, Naver Chinese Dictionary, Naver Open Dictionary, and encyclopedias.
