Abstract

This study investigates the South Korean perception of “native” speaker of English (NSE), namely won-eo-min and ne-i-ti-beu in Korean, with an examination of the use of such terms in the news and social media. To do this, the study examined news topics covered in the South Korean news media including newspapers and television news channels that mention or discuss these terms. Secondly, words used along with these two terms in social media forums such as Twitter or weblogs were examined. In order to realise this, two major data mining programs called the BIGKinds program (Korea Press Foundation, Big Kinds: News Big Data & Analysis, https://www.kinds.or.kr/; accessed 14 May 2018) and the Social Metrics program (Daumsoft, Social metricsTM, http://academy.some.co.kr/login.html; accessed 1 May 2018) were employed. This study shows that the concept of the “native” speaker in the forms of won-eo-min and ne-i-ti-beu is deeply manifested in the minds of South Koreans, especially when talking about the pronunciation of “native” speakers as the model of “correct” pronunciation of English. Such perceptions need to be critically revisited in an era where English is the most common medium of communication in the global community.

Abstract

이 연구는 뉴스와 소셜 미디어에서 “원어민” 과 “네이티브” 용어 사용에 대한 한국인의 인식을 조사했다. 신문과 텔레비전 뉴스 채널을 포함한 한국 뉴스 매체에서 이 두 용어가 언급된 기사의 주제들을 분석했고, 또한 트위터나 웹 블로그 등의 소셜 미디어 포럼에서 이 두 용어와 함께 사용된 단어들을 분석했다. 이를 실현하기 위해 BIGKinds 프로그램 (Korea Press Foundation, Big Kinds: News Big Data & Analysis, https://www.kinds.or.kr/; accessed 14 May 2018)과 Social Metrics 프로그램 (Daumsoft, Social metricsTM, http://academy.some.co.kr/login.html; accessed 1 May 2018)의 두 가지 주요 데이터 마이닝 프로그램을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 한국에서 ’정확한’ 영어 발음 모델로서의 원어민이나 네이티브 스피커가 가장 두드러지게 인식되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 인식은 영어가 전 세계의 가장 일반적인 의사소통 수단인 시대에 비판적으로 재검토되어야 한다.
