This paper examines English borrowed words in Korean. A close contact with the English culture and language brought about extensive borrowing of English words in Modern Korean and it affected the grammatical system of Korean. The lexicon and syntactic structures of the Korean languages have been enriched by means of the borrowing of English. It is inevitable to accommodate English words in this global world where English has become a world language, but the excessive use of English loan words in our daily life is problematic. In this respect, it is meaningful to perform a broad linguistic analysis on the English borrowing in order to document the permeation of English in the Korean language and further to arouse attention to the proper use of English borrowed words in our linguistic community.
