韓ㆍ中 漢字 共用 方案의 新모색 - 한국 한자어 활용을 중심으로

Abstract

Korean and Chinese who use different language can communicate at ‘minimal’ or ‘basic’ level by using Chinese Character. And this means that it is easier to understand each other by using Chinese Character than others. Chinese character act as a ‘minimal’ or ‘basic’ communication tool between Korean and Chinese whose language is different. However, single Chinese letter could not fully support their ‘minimal’ or ‘basic’ communication. Using Chinese Word is much effective than single Chinese letter for better communication between Korean and Chinese. Therefore, this study suggests that the selection on Common Use of Chinese Character, process and methodology with some examples. Common Use of Chinese Character selection is not about establishing a separate language system such as Esperanto. It is about enhancing better communication between Korean and Chinese who are familiar to Chinese Character and words. Commonly used Chinese Words could not conduct linguistic function completely by itself but it could act as a mediator between Korea and China for their wider interaction and better understanding. Anticipating this study could stimulate suggestion on effective new methodology in ‘Common Use of Chinese Character’ between Korean and Chinese, and moreover amongst Korean, Chinese and Japanese who speak different language.
