Kim, Bo-Hyang. 2014. Code Mixing by Jeju People Residing in Japan: Mixed Use of Jeju Dialect and Japanese. Journal of Linguistic Studies 19(2), 1-19. Most of Jeju people residing in Japan are bilingual speakers, who can speak both the Jeju dialect acquired back in Jeju early in their childhood, and the Japanese language acquired while living in Japan. They either speak in Japanese or Jeju dialect depending on the linguistic capacity of the person they are speaking to. Otherwise, they use a mixture of the two languages. The Jeju dialect they use maintains its early form before standard Korean was distributed, while showing a considerable code-mixing with the Japanese language. The code-mixing occurs in a different manner for each part of speech, which often forms a language structure deviated from the grammar or structure of the Korean and Japanese languages. The transformed language has linguistic characteristics shared by only the first generation Jeju people residing in Japan, which are incomprehensible not only to those whose native language is Korean, but also to those who use Japanese as their first language.
