As a result, the effects of education were negligible but still remain a large number of educational materials which were historical records of language policy in a Japanese colonial era. Topics and conversations of Korean textbooks for police officer reflected Japanese police had full-scale intervention in Korean’s everyday life. Characteristic of Police officer’s conversation is using the overlap of two honorific level at the same time. In the example, highest level ‘합니다(Habnida)’ and high level ‘하 오(Hao)’ appeared in a con- versation section. The situation of address and command, ‘하오(Hao)’ increased strategically. The results suggest that variation of honorific means revealed authority and audience control. The results of the content analysis of textbooks emphasized authority, unilateral command and interference to colonial Korean.
