ABSTRACT

This paper overviews trends and outcomes of articles on lexical research published in the field of Japanese studies in Korea for two years—2019and2020.A total of 155 articles are divided into 9 categories,- word meaning, word formation,word type, social styles, diachroniclexicology, socio-culturallexicology,Japanese language education, quantitative lexicology,and corpus construction, and research trends of each category are summarized. Among the nine categories, the number of studies on word meaning, word type, and social styles was particularly high, and the Korean-Japanese contrastive study was an active methodology adopted by many studies. In addition, it was observed that the socio-cultural research on lexicon and the study that takes the application to Japanese language education into account were conducted continuously following the previous period of investigation (2017–2018). Approximately 20% of lexicon-related articles adopted the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ) that was developed by the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, and hence a clear demonstration of the BCCWJ’s strong influence. Although the high degree of dependence on the BCCWJ is not limited to lexical research in Korea, if comparative studies between the BCCWJ and other research data, or studies based on language data not covered in the BCCWJ are more widely conducted in the future, it is expected to contribute to more balanced and deeper understanding of the Japanese language that is incalculably vast and diverse.
