  • The purpose of this study is to analyze new words in Korean and Chinese based on changes in popular culture. As China and Korea embrace increasingly close communication in recent years, their languages have influenced each other. A lot of new Korean and Chinese words have been discovered to have the same linguistic characteristics. New words are considered as new developments of a language. They are welcomed and widely used by young people in Korea and China. Therefore, in terms of the communicative function of languages, it is worthwhile to understand new words in Korean and Chinese from the perspective of academic research. This study takes Chinese words created in 2018 as the research object. Firstly, a morphological and semantic comparison of Chinese words created in 2018 and those created in 2017 is carried out to extract the characteristic indicators of Chinese words created in 2018, with emphasis on compound words, abbreviations, substitutions, patters and rhetorical expressions. Secondly, the similarities and differences of these Chinese words with Korean words created in 2018 in terms of morphology are analyzed. Finally, after conducting sample classification and comparison, the characteristics of new Chinese and Korean words and the interaction mechanism under mutual influence are concluded. According to the study, the majority of the new words are created on the basis of existing words. Thus, it is important to explore the morphology of new words as a standard language.

  • This paper studied sports-inspired fashion(SIF) that is often characterized as 'designer clothes inspired by active sportswear.' First, we reviewed the social, economical, artistic, and technological background behind its development. Second, we studied the development history of SIF by classifying it into four periods. Third, we analyzed how SIF emerged and developed with its own characteristics from a historical perspective. For a theoretical background, we did a critical review of previous literature in the field of clothing history, history of culture, and art history. We collected the data from magazines, such as Fashion Show and Gap Press and from the internet sources as well, such as firstviewkorea.com. We also did the content analysis of the data by consulting a chosen group of fashion designers. This study revealed that active sportswear started to develop from everyday clothes for functional convenience in the beginning and then SIF emerged later as a major fashion trend with the popularity of sportive look. This trend became stronger with the global spread of American popular culture. SIF eventually became high fashion with collaboration between sportswear industry and designers. This study confirmed that SIF reflects the characteristics of many sports games in silhouettes, colors, and details. It is predicted that sports will continue to be an important source of inspiration for fashion designers.

  • The purpose of this study is to reveal the cultural meaning behind modern experiences of diversity through the history of clothing in Korea. To this end, this study examines aspects that dictate clothing culture acceptance experienced and practiced by women by analyzing the case of the Naju rural area in Jeollanam-do from the 1950s to 1980s. Modern clothing was accepted later in the 20 century in this village, and the Satgolnai traditional textile tradition was an important factor after 1950s. In addition, the continuity of the rural five-day market is different from practices in the city. Limitations in access to media such as TV, films, and magazines, and the functional meaning of clothing in rural areas contributed to limitations for women to get the opportunity to access modern clothing items that were popular in the city. Unlike in the city, the event that inspired the transition to full-scale modern clothing in this village was the Saemaul Undong Movement of the 1970s. Additionally, Mombbe (labor cloth) worn during the Japanese colonial period was continuously worn as daily clothes for Naju women even after the 1950s. Therefore, colonial modernity continued through clothing.
