This study aims to be incorporated in the Korean Language Standards Policy, by
evaluating the influence use of the Fundamental Law of the Korean Language on the
public's language and its practicality and rationality under Article 12 of the Fundamental
Law of the Korean Language. This study includes:
1. A survey of the policies of other nations' Standard Pronunciation on language use
2. A survey of the general public's attitude on current Korean Standard Pronunciation Rules
3. An in-depth interview with experts in this field
4. A survey on the individual contents of the Standard Pronunciation Rules and
establishment of the data
5. Elicitation of an improvement plan regarding management strategies of Korean
Standard Pronunciation Rules
The first part of the study examined policy, system, law and enforcement ordinances
upon standard pronunciation of the other countries such as U.S.A., Japan, China,
Germany, France, Spain, England, and others. We also looked at the specifics of each
country's pronunciation education. Unlike South and North Korea, no other country
legislate Standard Pronunciation at a national level on the basis of the Pronunciation
Rules. The social meaning of the Korean Pronunciation Rules needs to be reconsidered.
In other words ,education and promotion for propagating the Korean Pronunciation
Rules itself should be eschewed.
A survey o fthe second part was conducted on 505 people of all ages and both sexes
allover the country. The results are as follows .First, people know that standard
pronunciation is used; however, in most cases they are not aware of its being statutory.
Thus, education for parallelism between the individual pronunciation and standard
pronunciation on language use should be adopted, rather than for propagating the Rules
itself. Second, people showed a low inclination to use the standard pronunciation. With
this in mind, promotion of the fact that the standard pronunciation is the criterion for
formal circumstances is needed.
The third part was conducted on 70 experts. 45 high school teachers and professors,
5 Korean language education experts,20 of news anchors, reporters, actors and voice
actors. Experts urged the need of a standard pronunciation dictionary as well as the need
of the Standard Pronunciation Rules. But, they also emphasized that the replacement of
unfamiliar terms and descriptions ,reduction of description on the exceptions as long as
possible, reflection of the real-word pronunciation for controversial pronunciations, and
admission of multiple standard pronunciations are needed.
