Abstract

This article analyzes the formation types of recent Korean neologisms used among youth. To this end, we use the data appearing in recent newspapers and online dictionaries showing the most recent usages. During the discussion, we categorize the data into several groups and show the types with examples. We also show that the types of acronyms were studied by Korean language professors. Finally, we conclude the article by claiming that the main characters in recent neologisms can be defined as a new bilingualism as the youngsters occasionally code-switch between standard usages and neologisms. This new trend is popular among teenagers and adult.
