ABSTRACT

Shin, Hee-Sam. 2004. Lexical Meaning of Internet Communication Language. Korean Semantics, 15. Internet communication language(ICL) is a kind of new coinage. In other words, it is a vocabulary that reflects the age of speed where everything gets speedy.The process of birth, growth, and extinction of ICL is similar to that of common vocabularies.The most prominent characteristic of ICL is the phenomenon of omission. It is the result of reflection of netizens’s sense of speed on language. The transformation of meanings is another characteristic of ICL. It comes from netizens' freshness and lack of patience. And the symbolization of language is also a significant phenomenon. It reflects well the tendency of netizens who accept everything within the pattern of sense.We should treat ICL not with rigid linguistic viewpoints, but with the generosity which regards ICL as a witty verbal play of netizens. We should also do our best to provide netizens with correct information on our language, Korean. That will make the wit and sense of ICL a tonic for language life, and an affirmative factor in the development of our language.
