This study analyzes how Korean and Japanese newspaper editorials organize information in their headlines and leads. The dataset comprises 5,880 editorials (2,940 per language) from six major dailies published between August 2019 and December 2024.All 2,940 Japanese editorials uniformly adopt a ‘keyword + space + claim’ headline structure, with keywords invariably composed of bare lexical noun phrases. In contrast, only 22.4% of Korean editorials present keywords as lexical noun phrases; the majority embed narrative context and evaluative orientation within the keyword itself. In the lead analysis, both countries showed a predominance of situational reporting. However, Japanese leads favored time-oriented reporting (72.3%) combined with commentary, while Korean leads were dominated by action-oriented reporting (58.9%) in standalone form, deferring commentary to the body text. This distributional difference was statistically significant (χ² = 1615.68, p < .001, Cramér's V = .524). These findings demonstrate that Japanese editorials employ a ‘context-first’ strategy sequentially layering reference, temporal framing, and commentary from headline to lead whereas Korean editorials adopt an ‘action-first’ strategy, front-loading evaluative framing in the headline and centering the lead on agents' actions. The study provides empirical evidence that differences in information organization between Korean and Japanese editorials are already systematically operative at the introductory stage.

This study aims to elucidate the pragmatic functions performed by the auxiliary particle “maneun” in conversational discourse in Modern Korean. The analysis demonstrates that “maneun” functions both as a discourse connective marker, strategically linking stretches of discourse, and as a discourse modal marker, clearly expressing the speaker’s communicative intent. The pragmatic functions of “maneun” as a discourse connective marker can be classified into four types. First, “maneun” is strategically employed in situations where the speaker freely inserts spontaneously recalled information while continuing the utterance without disrupting the discourse context. Second, it is used to present relevant background information in advance of a forthcoming question or request. Third, “maneun” serves to display politeness by protecting the interlocutor’s face prior to asserting the speaker’s own viewpoint, and it may also function as a strategic device for mitigating the speaker’s responsibility for the subsequent claim. Fourth, “maneun” is used to signal to the listener the dimension or perspective from which the upcoming utterance should be interpreted. When “maneun” appears without linking to a subsequent utterance and instead concludes the turn with sentence-final intonation, marking the utterance as ending with an attitude of uncertainty, it functions as a discourse modal marker. In this role, “maneun” may indicate the speaker’s intention to confront a potential conflict directly by making their uncertainty explicit, or conversely, to defuse or avoid conflict by withholding categorical assertion.

이 연구는 한국적 문헌정보학의 정립을 위한 기초적 담론을 제공하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 최근까지의 한국 인문사회과학에서의 ‘탈식민성 담론’을 조망하여 제시하였고, 아울러 한국 문헌정보학에서의 ‘탈식민성 담론’을 살펴보았다. 여기서 ‘탈식민성 담론’이란 서구의 과도한 영향에서 탈피하고자 하는 학문적 노력을 말한다. 이 연구는 이러한 탈식민성 담론을 바탕으로 한국 대학도서관이 안고 있는 식민구조를 분석하였으며, 한국 대학도서관의 식민성을 탈피하기 위한 담론 전략을 제시하였다. 구체적으로는 한국적 전략적 계획의 수립, 한국형 조직활성화 전략의 강구, 사서주도성의 강화 등이다.

This study explored the possibilities on the establishment of Korean LIS(Library and Information Science) which is suitable for Korean society. For this purpose, this study traced the trends of ‘decolonization discourse' in the humanities and social sciences of Korea. And this study also identified ‘decolonization dicourse' in the LIS of Korea. ‘Decolonization discourse' here means an effort in scholarly activities to break out of overly dominant western influences. With the context of ‘decolonization discourse', this study analysed the colonized situation of Korean academic libraries, and suggested the decolonization discourse strategies to make a breakthrough in this situation. As concrete strategies, this study proposed the setting-up of strategic plan and organization development plan those are suitable for Korean academic libraries, and the intensification of Korean librarians' leadership.

In this study, the characteristics and differences of two languages such as Korean and Japanese were analyzed by analyzing and reviewing the discourse style in the promise cancellation scene from the viewpoint of discourse type, discourse structure, and discourse strategy. The type of discourse can be divided into a cancellation intention expression type, a reason presentation type, and an alternative proposal type. When analyzing and comparing discourse styles between different genders and between same genders, it was found that Korean and Japanese showed similar discourse style such as explaining the reason first and expressing the intention of cancellation or presenting an alternative. However, from the viewpoint of the ratio deviation, Japanese men and women seem to prefer the reason presentation style more than the Korean men and women. In the discourse structure, in the analysis of the discourses between different genders and between the same genders, Koreans (both men and women) preferred straightforward “Reason + Intention” style. In Japan, however, women preferred “Reason + Alternative” style, although males showed similar results to Koreans. It is found that Japanese women showed overwhelming dominance in the discourse style of indirect expression of the cancellation intention. Discourse strategies are categorized into implication type implicitly showing the intention of cancellation and non-implication type that does not imply the intention of cancellation at all. Korean men and women used non-implication type strategies. Japanese women have similarities in that they take the same non-implication strategy as Korean women, but Japanese men are adopting an implication strategy. They used different strategy from that of Koreans and Japanese women.

本研究では、約束の取消し場面での談話スタイルを談話タイプ･談話構造･談話ストラテジーの観点から分析考察し、日韓両言語の特徴と相違点について調べてみた。 談話タイプは、取消しの意思タイプ･理由提示タイプ･代案の提示タイプに分けられ、日韓異性と同性間の談話スタイルを比較分析した結果では、韓日(男女)で取消し理由を先に言ってから続いて取消しの意思や代案を提示するという同様の談話スタイルを見せていた。ただし、比率偏差の観点からは、日本の男女の方が韓国の男女より理由提示タイプをより好むことが分かった。 談話構造では異性間および同性間の分析でも、韓国の場合は、男女ともに直接的な<取消しの理由+取消しの意思>タイプで、日本の場合は、男性は韓国と似ているが、女性は＜取消しの理由+代案提示>タイプとなっている。これによって、日本の女性の場合は、間接的に取消しの意思を言う談話スタイルでは韓国の女性に比べて圧倒的に優勢であることを示していた。 談話ストラテジーには、約束の取消しを先に暗示する暗示性と全く示唆していない無暗示性に分類される。この談話ストラテジーの中で韓国の男女はともに無暗示性のストラテジーを行っていた。 日本の女性も韓国の女性のような無暗示性のストラテジーをとるという点では共通点があるものの、男性の場合は、暗示性のストラテジーを取っており、韓国の男性と違う様相を見せていることがわかった。 本研究により、異文化コミュニケーション談話スタイルの相違点が原因で起こりうる誤解の素地を減らすのに一助となるとともに、両国間の円滑なコミュニケーションに役立つことができると考えられる。

이 글의 목적은 1960년대 청맥 지식인 집단의 ‘식민성’ 인식에 주목하여 이 시기 민족주의 담론의 재구성 과정을 해명하려는 것이다. 박정희 정권의 집 권 첫 해이자 한일회담 운동이 한창인 1964년 창간된 ≪청맥≫은 박정희 정 권에 대한 가장 비판적인 지식인 잡지였다는 점에서, 특히 통일혁명당(이하 통혁당)과 연계된 잡지였다는 점에서 주목받았다.≪청맥≫은 1960년대 지 식인 집단의 지형도에서 가장 급진적인 위치를 점했고, 그들의 민족주의 담론 역시 그러했다. 청맥 지식인 집단은 ‘식민성’에 대한 재인식을 통해 민족주의 담론을 급진화하면서 새로운 저항담론을 생산하려 하였다. 이 저항담론이 당 대의 맥락에서 가진 가능성과 한계를 살피는 것은 이 글의 또 다른 목적이다.

The purpose of this article is to explain the reconstruction process of the nationalism discourse of the Cheongmaek intellectual group in the 1960s. The Cheongmaek intellectuals aimed to reconstruct the nationalism as a counter discourse by reconsidering the ‘coloniality.’ They thought the underlying causes of poverty and backwardness in Korea was caused by the neocolonial international order. They regarded the international relations at that time as the world historical turning points that the Third World was rising and the international order was multipolarizing. They asserted that ‘reunification’ was historical task at a turning point in Korea The Cheongmaek intellectuals expanded the concept of ‘coloniality’ to cultural field by ‘cultural colony’ theory in mid-1966. They tried to build a new national culture by protecting their identity of ethnic culture and reconstructing korean history and tradition. As postcolonial cultural strategy for this purpose, they emphasized the construction of national knowledge and ‘Minjung’ as a new subject. In the mid-1960s, the production of national knowledge by intellectuals means changes in discourse topography concerning nationalism. The intellectuals at this time tried to confirm the embryo of modernity and ‘Minjung’ as a new subject in Korean tradition and history. These results had reflected the academic achievement of intellectuals since the 1950s, and at the same time, mean that the radical nationalism appeared after the April 19 Movement had evolved into the stage of ‘Science’ beyond the stage of ‘movement’. Therefore, it shows that the discourse struggle concerning the nationalism will be developed in cultural field, specifically academic fields such as history, literature and philosophy.

런던의 잡지회사인 프리즈(Frieze)가 기존의 아트페어와 차별화된 젊고 실험적인 작품을 대거 선보 이는 런던 프리즈 아트페어(Frieze Art Fair)를 2003년 시작하였으며 이후 2012년 뉴욕, 2019년 로스앤 젤레스에 이어 2022년 서울까지 개최도시가 확장되었다. 여타 국제적인 아트페어와 비교했을 때 상대 적으로 역사가 길지 않은 프리즈 아트페어는 단시간에 세계 3대 아트페어로서 미술시장을 넘어 미술계 에서 입지를 강화하고 있다. 또한 아시아권에서 프리즈 서울이 처음으로 개최되면서 미술시장에 대한 국내외의 관심이 더욱 고조되는 상황이다. 특히 미술시장이 작가와 비평가 중심에서 아트 딜러와 컬렉터 중심으로 그리고 2000년대 이후에는 경매회사와 아트페어 중심으로 형성되고 있으며, 아트페어가 국제 미술계에서 입지는 강화하는 추세이다. 이러한 미술시장의 흐름 속에서 프리즈 런던의 성공 전략을 기업의 후원 및 마케팅 차원과 전시의 관점, 도시의 관점에서 분석하고자 한다. 프리즈 런던은 도이치뱅크가 2004년부터 메인 스폰서로 협찬하기 시작하면서 그 규모가 크게 확장 되었으며, 이는 곧 안정적인 재원 조달이 필요함을 시사한다. 이와 함께 프리즈 런던을 전시의 관점에서 보면 동시대 미술의 담론 장인 비엔날레 등에서 보여졌던 경향들을 미술시장 체제 안에서 실행시키면서 또 다른 미술적 권위와 담론의 지표로서 역할을 강화하 고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 런던의 문화예술 인프라를 잘 활용하면서 프리즈 런던 기간 동안 미술관 및 갤러리들이 자국 미술을 알리거나 주력하는 전시를 개최하면서 도시 전역이 문화예술 현장으로 활성화되고 있었다. 본 소논문은 런던 프리즈 아트페어의 성공 전략을 마케팅, 담론, 도시 활성화 차원에서 분석하면서 국내 아트페어를 비롯해서 축제에도 적용하는데 목적이 있다.

London magazine Frieze launched the London Frieze Art Fair in 2003, which presents a large number of young and experimental works that are different from existing art fairs. Since then, the host city has expanded from New York in 2012 to Los Angeles in 2019 to Seoul in 2022, and the Frieze Art Fair, which has a relatively short history compared to other international art fairs, is strengthening its position in the art world beyond the art market in a short time. In addition, with the first Frieze Seoul held in Asia, domestic and international interest in the art market is increasing. In particular, in the art market, art fairs have been formed from artists and critics to art dealers and collector, and since the 2000s, art fairs have been centered on auction companies and art fairs, and art fairs are strengthening their position in the international art world. Frieze London's success strategy was analyzed from the perspective of corporate sponsorship and marketing, exhibition, and city. Frieze London expanded significantly when Deutsche Bank began sponsoring Fair as its main sponsor in 2004, suggesting that it needed stable funding, expanding from the image of the art market for art sales, holding various academic events, and implementing trends in the biennale. In particular, while making good use of London's cultural and artistic infrastructure, art galleries and galleries held exhibitions promoting or focusing on their own art during the Frieze London period, expanding the entire city to cultural and artistic sites. Through this thesis, I hope it can be applied to festivals as well as domestic art fairs.

도덕적 규범은 합리적으로 정당화될 수 있는가? 하버마스는 이에 대한 답변으로 담론윤리를제시한다 . 그의 이론적 출발점은 보편실용학으로서, 어떻게 진리가 담화이론적으로 재구성될 수있는지, 진리 와 올바름에 대한 타당성의 요구에 대해 담론적 해소가 가능한지 그리고 담론적 진리와 올바름이 의 사소통적 합리성과 어떤 관계를 맺는지 보여준다. 이를 통해 확립되는 담론 윤리는 칸트의 도덕철학 에 대한 언어 실용적 변형이자 해석학에 대한 심층해석학적 변형이다. 즉,한편으로 원자화된 주체의 주관적 독백으로부터 언어공동체 구성원들의 상호주관적 대화로 보편윤리를 재구성하고, 다른 한편 으로 인식의 지평을 고정불변한 절대적 진리로부터 타자와의 지평융합 속에서 변화하는 역사적 진리 로 파악함으로써, ‘규범적’ 전통에 서서 ‘경험적’ 근대를 비판한다. 담론윤리의 전략은 ‘보편화기본명제’와 ‘이상적 담화상황’에 근거를 둔다. 보편화기본명제는주로 문 화상대주의와 증명·이론적 관점에서 비판받는데, 이에 대한 반론으로 ‘발화이행적 모순’이 제기된다. 이상적 담화상황은 ‘선험적 전제’로서의 규범적 기능에 대한 의문과 합리적인 합의의 불가능함이 주 로 비판의 대상이 되며, 반론으로 ‘반사실적 구성’의 역할과 ‘약한 타당성의 요구’가 제기된다. 이에 본 논문은 담론 윤리의 기획을 분석하고 이상적 담화상황의 정당화 전략에 대한 비판자들의 견 해와 그에 대한 반론이 어떻게 가능한지 탐색한다. 이와 함께 도구적으로 왜곡된 합리성과 이에 대한 반작용으로서 상대주의가 판을 치는 오늘날 윤리적 지형에서 보편주의 윤리로서담론 윤리이론이 갖 는 의의를 재조명한다.

Can moral norms rationally be justified? If so, how can it be managed to do? As answer to thisquestion Habermas suggests, as you know, the discourse ethics. Starting from a standpoint ofuniversal pragmatics, he tries to show, how truth is able to reconstruct with regard to thediscourse ethics; to what extent problems which arise from the context of validity claims on truthand rightness can be dissolved; and further, in what connection discursive truth and rightnessstand with communicative rationality. The discourse ethics established in this way turns out to benot only a language pragmatical transformation of the Kantian moral philosophy, but also a depthhermeneutical transformation of the hermeneutics. Namely, reconstructing a universal ethics asturning from the subjective monologue of atomic individuals toward the intersubjective dialoguebetween members of language community on the one hand, and grasping the epistemic horizonnot as eternal absolute truth, but as historical truth that changes in horizontal fusion with theothers on the other hand, Habermas stands on the normative tradition, but criticizes the empiricalmodernity. Looked at the discourse ethics from the view point of theoretical perspective, its theoreticalstrategy is based on the basic theorems of universalization and the ideal discourse situation. Therefore, criticism of these topics and counterarguments against these make a constructiveenergy to be able to refine the discourse ethics. The basic theorems of universalization arecriticized in terms of cultural relativism and proof theory; and these criticism are refuted with anargument of performative self-contradiction. As far as the ideal discourse situation is concerned,doubt on the normative function of transcendental premise of it as well as impossibility of rationalconcent are raised; and these objections can be weakened by pointing the role of counterfactualconstruction and the weak claim of validity. In this paper I will analyze the communicative action theory and the discourse ethics andexplore, how arguments against criticism of Habermas’s conception can be possible. Furthermore,I will try to shed new light on the discourse ethics as a universalist ethics in the ethical topologynowadays in which instrumentally distorted rationality and relativism as a reaction against it prevail.

본 연구는 트럼프 2기 행정부의 관세전쟁이 국내 언론 담론에서 어떻게 재현되고 있으며, 이러한 담론 구조가 한국의 무역 전략에 어떠한 함의를 갖는지 분석한다. 이를 위해 2025년 1월 20일부터 2026년 2월 17일까지 국내 4개 종합일간지에 게재된 관련 뉴스기사 7,297건을 수집하여 텍스트 네트워크 분석과 토픽모델링(LDA)을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 뉴스 담론은 ‘중국’, ‘협상’, ‘한국’, ‘무역’ 등을 중심으로 형성되었으며, 관세전쟁이 미·중 갈등 속에서 협상 과정과 한국 경제에 미치는 영향과 함께 보도되는 경향이 나타났다. 토픽모델링 결과 금융시장 반응과 거시경제 전망, 통상 협의와 외교 조정, 기업 전략과 산업 경쟁, 정상외교와 보복 조치, 핵심 산업 중심 관세 이슈, 국제질서와 경제안보 프레임의 여섯 개 주제 군집이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과는 관세전쟁이 정치적 이벤트, 시장 반응, 산업 구조 변화, 국제질서 재편이 결합된 복합적 이슈로 인식되고 있음을 보여준다. 특히 자동차·반도체·철강 등 핵심 수출 산업과 글로벌 공급망 구조에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있으며, 이는 한국의 통상 전략이 공급망 안정성과 경제안보를 고려하는 방향으로 재검토될 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

This study analyzes how the tariff war under the second Trump administration is represented in Korean news discourse and examines its implications for Korea’s trade strategy. To this end, 7,297 news articles published in four major Korean newspapers between January 20, 2025, and February 17, 2026, were collected and analyzed using text network analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling. The results show that the news discourse is largely structured around keywords such as “China,” “negotiation,” “Korea,” and “trade,” indicating that the tariff war has been framed within the context of U.S.–China conflict while simultaneously emphasizing its implications for Korea’s economy. Topic modeling identified six major themes: financial market reactions and macroeconomic outlook, trade negotiations and diplomatic coordination, corporate strategies and industrial competition, summit diplomacy and retaliatory measures, tariff issues centered on key industries, and international order and economic security. These findings suggest that the tariff war is perceived as a multidimensional issue that combines political events, market responses, industrial restructuring, and shifts in the international economic order. In particular, the analysis indicates potential impacts on Korea’s key export industries—such as automobiles, semiconductors, and steel—as well as on global supply chain structures. This implies that Korea’s trade strategy needs to be reconsidered from a broader perspective that incorporates supply chain stability and economic security.

본 연구는 담론제도주의(Discursive Institutionalism)의 관점에서 지역균형발전 담론이 지방소멸 담론으로 전환된 과정을 전북특별자치도 지역을 중심으로 분석하 는 것을 목적으로 한다. 2000년대 초반 전라북도는 지역균형발전 담론을 적극적으 로 수용하며 지역성장 거점으로 자리매김하고자 했다. 하지만, 2010년대 중반 이후 균형발전의 효과가 미흡해지게 됐다. 이후 2016년 이후 지방소멸 대응정책이 본격화됐다. 이후에 지역균형발전 담론과 지방소멸 담론이 합쳐지면서 인구문제와 지 역균형 발전론이 재구성됐다. 이 과정에서 전북지역은 지역의 특성에 맞게 정책을 재조정하는 과정을 거쳤다. 이러한 변화는 정책담론이 중앙-지역 간의 담론조정 속 에서 재구성됨을 보여준다.

This study analyzes the transition of the regional balanced development discourse into a discourse of regional extinction from the perspective of discursive institutionalism, focusing on the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province. In the early 2000s, Jeollabuk-do actively embraced national balanced development policies and sought to position itself as a regional growth center. However, by the mid-2010s, the effectiveness of these policies had diminished. Since 2016, as policies to counter rural decline have gained momentum, discourses of regional antibiosis and rural decline have merged. In this context, Jeollabuk-do underwent a policy discourse process that realigned development strategies with local characteristics. This transformation illustrates how policy discourse is reconstructed through discursive struggles between central and regional actors and highlights the need to reframe the discourse of regional extinction by fostering locally-driven policy narratives.

This paper pursues devising a Relevance-Theoretic account of practicing irony as a speaker’s discourse strategy for reinforcing social intimacy between interlocutors in communication. In general, irony has been regarded as a case of rhetorical figure, which conveys something opposite of what was literally said (see Van Enschot, Hoeken and Van Mulken 2006). With reference to the essence of irony, Sperber and Wilson (1995: 239) hold that “the attitude expressed by an ironical utterance is invariably of the rejecting or disapproving kind.” Including Sperber and Wilson (1981, 1995), in fact, most antecedent pragmatic accounts of irony use have focused on only its sarcastic purpose, which aims to ridicule or blame other’s mistakes and faults. As pointed out in Barbe (1995), Jorgensen (1996), and Culpeper (1996, 2011), however, irony can often be used as non-sarcastic purposes: what is called genteel irony. According to them, when genteel irony is used among close friends, peers or colleagues, it can strengthen their social intimacy and solidarity, instead of insulting or ridiculing each other. Although Sperber and Wilson’s (1981, 1995) previous approaches to irony, which view its nature as ‘echoic mentioning + rejection or dissociation,’ have concentrated their interest on explaining irony of sarcastic purpose, unlike them, I examine how irony can work as a discourse strategy for increasing social intimacy within the same principle of relevance. My approach is, therefore, to make a contribution to the theoretical expandability of Relevance Theory (henceforth RT), in that it verifies that even irony of non-sarcastic purpose can also be treated by a single principle of relevance within the same RT framework.

본 연구에서는 반사회적인 제재인 ‘혼외관계’ 모티프를 다루면서 수용자들에게 공감멜로라는 긍정적 평가로 화제가 집중된 TV 드라마 『공항 가는길』을 통해 우리 사회의 가족문화와 성 담론의 변모양상에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 『공항 가는 길』은 이 시대 가족의 의미를 묻는 드라마다. 이 작품에서 혼외관계는 모성애・부성애를 부정하고 가족을 와해시키는 장애물이라기보다는 가족의 참의미를 강조하고 우리 사회의 달라진 세태를 반영하는 요소라할 수 있다. 또한 자기계발만이 최고의 가치로 간주되는 신자유주의 맥락에서 과거 ‘영혼의 위안처’로서의 가정이 자녀의 계층을 유지・상승시키기 위해 남편의 경제력과 아내의 정보력을 바탕으로 한 중산층의 사교육 프로젝트로 집중되는 현실을 비판적으로 그리고 있다. 『공항 가는 길』은 혼외관계지만 서로에게 끌리는 도우와 수아의 절제된감정이 성에 대한 매혹보다는 가족애에 기반하고 있다는 점에서 이 둘의 관계를 선/악의 어느 한 쪽의 잣대로 매도할 수 없게 만든다. 이는 『공항 가는길』이 수용자에게 호감을 얻을 수 있었던 중요한 이유로 작용한다. 또 하나 『공항 가는 길』의 공감 포인트는 수려한 풍경을 등장인물의 캐릭터, 관계성을 강화하는 장치로 추동하여 판타지적인 로맨스를 완성하고 있다는 점이다. 이는 일종의 ‘장소감’(Sense of Place)으로 이 작품에서 둘의 사랑이 이루어져야만 하는 필요조건을 형성한다. 이를 통해 두 사람의 친밀감이더해지는 흐름이 형성되어 수용자의 공감대를 자아내는 데 긴요한 장치가되고 있다. 이렇듯 『공항 가는 길』은 이 시대에 다양하게 나타나는 가족문화와 성 담론의 변화 지점을 포착하여 설득력 있게 그려낸 작품이기에 수용자들의 공감을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 사회적 트라우마에 우회적 말 걸기를 시도하는문화적 기능을 수행하는 의미 있는 작품이라 할 수 있겠다. 따라서 본 연구는 혼외관계 소재를 다룬 TV 드라마를 통해 급변하는 한국사회의 성 담론, 가족 문제와 그 해법, 문화적 분열과 변화 속에서 우리 사회가 숙고해야 할방향성을 규명해 보고자 하였다.

This research deals with the theme of ‘extramarital relationships,’and it will examine the changes in Korean society’s perception of ‘sexuality’through the TV series On the Way to the Airport. On the Way to the Airport is about a love based on comfort and empathy that develops between Sooah Choi (played by Haneul Kim), a mother of a 12year old girl and an experienced stewardess of 12 years, and Dowoo Seo, a professor of architecture who sincerely cares for his stepdaughter Annie. Both Sooah’s and Do～woo’s families are bereft of familiarity, and they both have partners who lack the ability to see other peoples’perspectives. So they find sentimental communion in each other, which makes up for the emotional deficiencies in their marriages , It is noteworthy, however, that their relationship remains platonic. In other words, their relationship could be described as an ‘emotional affair.’Interestingly, Sooah and Dowoo, who try fiercely to preserve their own families, become attracted to each other through paternal and maternal affection, which is the very thing their partners lack. The ending of On the Way to the Airport where Sooah escapes the patriarchal family structure and finds her own independent life aims to express a post～modern value; however, the TV series simultaneously reflects its modern paradigm by pining for a stable familial structure in its portrayal of the familiarity and empathy between Sooah and Dowoo, and also by portraying Hyewon and Jinseok, who reject the archetypes of maternal and paternal affection, in a negative manner. This enlightens the ethical values of the show’s viewers, while making room for viewers to accept Sooah and Dowoo using those enlightened ethical values. The sentiment between Dowoo and Sooah, whose mutual attraction results in an extramarital relationship, is founded on familial love rather than sexual lust, which prevents their relationship from being condemned either as extreme good or extreme evil. This moral ambivalence is a key factor in On the Way to the Airport’s popularity with its viewers. Furthermore, On the Way to the Airport uses the beautiful natural environment to construct metaphors for the relationships between the characters and increase viewer empathy. This technique creates a ‘Sense of Place’ the landscapes that metaphorically represent individual characters form the necessary conditions for the love to cometrue. This evokes a sentimental response in viewers, affirming the relationship of Sooah and Dowoo in the TV series.

담화전략으로서의 코드전환: 정치담화에서의 코드전환에 관한 사회언어학적, 화용론적 고찰

This study aims to figure out the discourse functions of code switching which appears in the texts chatted on SNS, especially Kakaotalk (Korean Mobile Messenger) and Wechat (Chinese Mobile Messenger). In order to satisfy this purpose, this study observed and analyzed several dialogues of 10 Korean-Chinese and 10 Chinese people living in Korea. The results are as follows. First, Korean-Chinese and Chinese learners use a lot of code switching examples strategically in the observed texts. Second, Korean-Chinese generally uses Korean when they say official things or objective information. As for daily conversation, it is difficult to say to have constant tendency. The texts show that the preceding languages affect language selection of the following person. Third, Chinese learners use Chinese language in the daily conversation; but they use Korean language when need official or personal help. On SNS supporting group chat like ‘Kakaotalk’ and ‘Wechat’, the users exchange official and personal information together. Korean-Chinese and Chinese learners use code switching depending on formality of information such as objective notice, a request for personal help or personal question. It seems to be discourse strategy to make successful and effective communication in the society they belong to.

This paper addresses some politeness strategies adopted by the speakers of Korean, which are grammaticalizing into modality markers encoding the speaker's stance about the proposition being presented. The attenuatives, recruiting lexical items denoting ‘shape' ‘be equal' ‘be same' ‘see' ‘want' and ‘not know', develop into a marker of politeness through conjectural meanings. In the grammaticalization process diverse strategies are employed: (a) the speakers resort to speaker-external phenomenon or uncontrollable mental state, thus avoiding presenting themselves as responsible for such judgment; (b) the sentential subjects do not agree with the sentential predicate, thus subjecting the sentence to reanalysis whereby the sentential predicates are now reanalyzed as modality markers; and (c) the true sentential subjects or other crucial arguments are omitted to make the sentential argument structure vague. All these are consequences of the common strategy in a language community where direct mention of the sentential elements is often avoided for politeness reasons.

This paper focuses on the ideological characteristics, structure and strategy of discourse on the “military-first politics” that has gradually expanded into almost all sectors of North Korean society. After successful ascension to supreme authority, Kim Jong-il’s regime set up “military-first politics” to legitimate his control over North Korean society. As the discourse system grew from military-first politics into a concrete political precept called “the military-first formula,” North Korean ideologues were tasked with providing a valid logic regarding the origin of the military-first politics and forming a logical framework for politics after the year 2000. Now the discourse of the “military-first policy” has developed in political, social and military arenas having produced a new ethos in North Korea. Gradually, the rhetoric of military-first politics spread into every social, political, and cultural sector to become the primary ruling philosophy of North Korea.

This study reviewed several previous studies related to political discourse, and among them, special attention was paid to the research of N. Fairclough and I. Fairclough. It has been argued that the acceptance strategy discourse has a distinctive argument structure as opposed to the general argument discourse. Putin's speech to the Russian Parliament was analyzed. In Putin's speech, it was found that in the discourse of acceptance strategy, the utterance motive, the proposition premise, and the proposition premise considerations can function as categories of arguments. Putin elaborated on the content of the proposal and at the same time suggested that the proposal was a practical and broad issue, stating that there was such a public opinion among citizens; however, Putin's speech emphasized that it is inappropriate to exclude the presidential term from the constitution without expressing his intention to accept the proposal directly; however, he expressed his opinion on the argument that would allow the incumbent to run for the next presidential election. He presented 1) substantive premises that the current Russian constitutional system is weak and there is an active debate about the presidential system; 2) the value premise that the amendment bill would strengthen our sovereignty, traditions and values; 3) alternatives that the parliamentary cabinet system not suitable for the current stage. This series of structures of argumentation has been seen to emphasize that Tereshkova's proposal is significant. In this study, a discourse strategy that reinforces the validity of a proposal without explicitly making a claim was named unrevealed statements. This strategy was considered to have the advantage of maximizing the effect of the utterance, providing only a persuasive argument without compromising the speaker's image in any way.

Xi Jinping took office in 2013 with a vision for a “new type of major-power relations” between China and the United States. What does this concept mean and why is it important now? An examination of the current Chinese discourse on major-power relations, as reflected in official and scholarly writings, reveals more continuity than change in China’s external orientation. China’s major-powers model reinforces (1) peaceful intentions rather than hegemonic aspirations, (2) the primacy of advancing China’s domestic development rather than its international position, and (3) tensions between China’s dual identities as a rising power and developing economy. The most distinct feature of this model is that it remains a Chinese proposition, posing a question as to the extent to which the United States and China are aligned in perceptions of their future relationship and the international order more broadly.

According to the Stern Review, the main issue of climate change is the cost of reducing emissions and its worth of paying for mitigation. The Copenhagen Conference in December 2009 shows the differences of their own interests between industrialized countries and developing countries in adopting the policy to mitigate climate change. Habermas’s discourse ethics, which emphasizes the importance of consensus and conversation through the principles of inter-subjective procedure of argumentation and egalitarian reciprocity, is recognized as a largely appropriate ethical perspective for negotiating the different interests of each country on global climate change. The effectiveness of discourse ethics, however, depends on an ideal communicative context nothing less exclusive of systemic elements such as money, power, and so on. It has its limitations of a range of different ethical parameters within a utilitarian framework like discourse ethics. It also represents human reality that the present generation does not have enough to pay the costs for unpleasant as well as uncertain damages from future climate change. The perspective of this paper turns to look at the social vision based on the doctrine of the Trinity. The “downward movement” is focused on grounding a social practice modeled on God’s passion for the salvation of the world, which is incarnated in the self-giving love of Jesus Christ, rather than the “upward movement” moving toward the participation in the Triune life of God (Miroslav Volf’s terms). In this study, the idea of green growth is provided for Christian higher education to respond to recent global climate change in light of the Triune God’s engagement with the world.

This preliminary case study explores the dynamics in participation structure co-constructed by one female Korean Non-Native speaker (NNS) teacher and three female Chinese NNS students with the use of politeness strategies in non-writing tutorial interactions in a college English as a Second Language (ESL) writing classroom. 30-minute course-embedded individual writing tutorial interactions were audio-video recorded and transcribed for discourse analysis. The results revealed that the teacher and each student strategically used positive and negative politeness strategies to build social relationships through non-writing tutorial interactions. Compliments and common ground sharing were used as primary positive politeness strategies, while hedge, silence, and personal-point-of-view disclaimers were frequently used as negative politeness strategies. The reciprocal power equilibrium achieved by the dynamics of participation structure expectedly sheds a new light on the studies on L2 writing tutorials.
