KOREANIZED ENGLISH WORDS VS KONGLISH

Abstract

There has been a long debate around such notions as Koreanized English words and Konglish. The author separates the categories of Konglish and Koreanized English words. Konglish can be regarded as a speech of uneducated Korean community and also can be viewed as an interlanguage. However, Koreanized English words are lexical units that can function within two language matrices: Korean and English. Based on the findings, the author suggests that Koreanized English words are naturally incorporated in all lects, including the basilect one (Konglish).
