ABSTRACT

This study examines the language use patterns of the computer mediated communication(CMC) users. Comparing the CMC with the paper based text, a new concept of delinquency index(DI) is proposed. The DI measures how much the CMC is deviated from the newspaper text, considering the distinct features of the Korean "Hangeul" text such as the Asian emoticons and single syllable vowels and consonants. This index is applied to the text of the Korean Pop culture of DC-Inside and the Political discussion section of the internet portal site of Daum. The authors show that the different groups classified by the use of identification names reveal different levels of DI. Further research is needed to explain this behavioral differences.
