Nowadays, computer-mediated communications such as chatting and e-mail are widely used in younger generation. It has been known that the communicating words used by on-line users (so-called netizens) are quite different from those used by ordinary people. That is, the words are generally characterized by shortened, mimetic and onomatopoeic words, and the netizens also use various types of emoticon expressed like signs or symbols. This can cause some orthographic as well as cultural problems. This paper investigates some statistical data in PC-based communications, analyzes the general characteristics, and provides some explanations.

최근에 신중년이라 불리는 1955년에서 1974년 사이에 태어난 베이비붐 세대는 거대 인구 집단을 형성하며 이전의 전통적 노인 세대와는 다른 특성을 보이고 있다. 전체 국가 인구의 33%를 차지하는 이들의 은퇴가 본격화되면서 신세대 노인인구집단의 등장과 이에 따른 정책변화가 요구되고 있다. 오팔세대라고 불리기도 하는 신중년층은 평균수명의 증가로 늘어난 노년기를 생산적이고 자율적으로 보내고 싶어 하며 노후에 해외여행을 즐기는 등 어느 정도 경제적 능력도 지니고 있지만, 다른 한편 여가·취미활동, 대인관계 등 활동적 노년에 대한 준비가 미흡해서 신세대로서의 신중년층을 위한 정책적 관심이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 베이비붐 세대를 중심으로 오팔세대의 정의, 그들의 소비생활을 비롯한 태도, 사회활동, 여가활동, 건강에 대한 노력 등의 라이프스타일에 대해 알아보고, 오팔세대에 맞는 고용창출, 사회적 재교육, 지역의료시설 구축, 여가문화 생활을 위한 사회적 배려 등 노후준비에 대해 실천적 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

With the start of COVID-19 in 2020, the MBTI test became popular among Korean young generation and then developed into a nationwide hot topic. This paper aims to investigate the characteristics of the MBTI popularity in Korea and the public opinions toward this phenomenon. With the analysis of the reports contents, 231 news reports related to MBTI were selected from KINDS (Korea Integrated News Database System) as research samples. The general attitude of the media towards MBTI tests and the reasons for the formation of positive and negative evaluations will be discussed from three perspectives: media attention, media attitudes and cognitive sources. The research finds that the increasing interest in MBTI among the younger generation in Korea is driven by a post-epidemic desire for self-exploration, emotional planning, and online group affiliation. MBTI has gained quasi-scientific status, similar to horoscopes, influenced by celebrities and a substantial fan base in online communication. While widely used for entertainment and social currency, there are concerns that extensive labeling may unconsciously impact individuals' self-perception and hinder the development of a holistic and objective cognitive framework.

This paper investigates differences between generations in the vowel system of the Daegu dialect in terms of F1 and F2 of the monophthongs. Three different groups of subjects participated in the present study: 20 female native speakers of the Daegu dialect(10 in their 20's and 10 in their 40's), and 10 female native speakers of the Seoul dialect as a control group. It has been assumed that the Daegu dialect has six vowels. However, younger generation appears to have 7 vowels different from older generation. The result of the present study showed that the Daegu dialect has different vowel systems between generations: for 40's have six vowels and 20's have seven vowels. These differences seems to be attributed to the influence of the Seoul dialect.

This study is a preliminary investigation of the nature of discourse marker acquisition in Korean American speakers of English. Discourse markers are of interest because they are not an aspect of language taught through formal instruction either to native or non-native speakers. Therefore, discourse marker use serves as indirect evidence of face-to-face interaction with native speakers and an indicator of integration. In this light, the present study examines the presence of discourse markers in Korean Americans. The markers chosen for analysis were you know, like, and I mean. The data consist of spontaneous speech elicited from interviews. Sociolinguistic variables such as age, sex, and generation (i.e., $1^{st}$, 1.5, $2^{nd}$) were examined. Results show that there appears to be interaction between the variables and discourse marker use. While all speakers showed variable acquisition of markers, younger, female, and 1.5 generation speakers were found to use discourse markers more than other speakers. Although discourse marker use is optional and thus not a linguistic feature that must be necessarily acquired, it is clear that use is pervasive and acquired differentially by English speakers irrespective of whether they are native or not.

러닝코먼스는 정보코먼스의 기반에서 도서관의 사명 달성을 위한 실천을 전제하고 있다이. 이는 도서관의 미래에 대한 비전을 확장시킬 수 있는 개념이다. 러닝코먼스의 핵심 콘텐츠의 하나가 독서교육 서비스이다. 이를 위해서는 도서관 현장에서 독서지도를 지원하는 독서지도사 양성이 중요하다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 일본의 도서관에 있어서 독서교육 서비스 진작의 사례로서 독서관련 지도사 양성과정 사례를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 일본의 도서관은 독서교육 여건을 개선시키기 위해 독서교육을 위한 독서지도사를 양성함으로서 독서교육 서비스의 질을 개선하고 프로그램 이용도를 높여가고 있다. 둘째, 일본 도서관은 독서지도라는 사회적 필요를 도서관, 지방자치단체, 주민들이 협력하여 독서지도사 양성을 통해 해결해가고 있다. 이러한 사례는 한국에서도 도서관내 독서교육 서비스의 중요성을 인식하고, 프로그램을 적극적으로 담당하고 독서를 지도할 수 있는 인력 양성제도가 활성화 될 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

To pursue youth and agelessness can be regarded as a global trend today. The younger a woman recognizes herself to be, the more sensation seeking tendency and the more active fashion exploratory behavior of younger generation she would show. This study attempted to empirically examine the relationship between sensation seeking behavior and fashion exploratory behavior according to the difference age in women in their 30's to 50s'. After the survey, a total of 480 questionnaires was used for data analysis. The results of this study are as follows, 1. It was found that there was a very high correlation among cognitive ages, and the lower cognitive age a woman had, the higher difference age she showed. 2. Sensation seeking tendency of adult women was shown in two factors of change seeking and artistic sensation seeking, and these factors accounted for 73.99% of the total variances. Fashion exploratory behavior had 4 factors such as fashion leadership, behavior of hedonic shopping, behavior of clothing communication and behavior of clothing purchase with taking a risk, and these four factors accounted for 75.87% of the total variances. 3. The higher difference age and the higher tendency of sensation seeking an adult woman had, the higher fashion exploratory behavior was shown, and the higher the difference age, the higher tendency of change seeking and artistic sensation seeking.

Brian Ascalon Roley's American Son, one of the outstanding Filipino American novels after the LA riots, critically deals with a racial issue of his community which has been intermingled with the myth of model minority. Gabe and Thomas, considered as obedient Filipino younger immigrants, are asked to achieve the American dream as a way to place themselves at the center of the mainstream white society. However, they recognize that they cannot be accepted as a suitable subject for the invincible racism deeply rooted in the society. While Tomas refuses to become a model minority by identifying himself with the Mexican, Gabe is expected to become an idealistic subject of model minority by his mother since he complies with the rules of the mainstream society. However, he accepts his brother's violent way of life in that violence is necessary to protect his family from the racial discrimination in America. Though he is his mother's hope for model minority, he recognizes the only condition to achieve her expectation is the American society where there is no racism at all. However, by taking the case of Gabe and Thomas, Roley suggests that the younger generation of Filipino American immigrants have no choice but to accept violence to survive in the American society because racism always threatens their life.

Unequal distribution of shares among children during intergenerational transference of assets has been prevalent in Korea. This study intends to examine whether parental contribution, in the form of a cash gift, is differentiated between the bride's side and the bridegroom's side at marriage and by age group. This pattern may also change according to the generation. Questionnaires were equally distributed to members of three previously delineated age groups: 20' s-30' s, 40's -50's, and 60's and above who are married or have been married at least once and reside in Seoul or Gyeonggi province. A total of 700 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS and the data were sorted by age group. The results indicate an apparent difference between the husband's side and the wife's side in providing funding for housing at marriage in that a large portion of the funding is provided by the husband's side. Among various funding sources, a cash gift from the couple's parents appears to fund the largest portion of the total cost for housing and marriage. Results show that a cash gift from the couple's parents funds a larger portion of housing expenses for younger generations, a phenomenon that becomes more severe and apparent the younger the couple is.
