Zhang, Fuli. 2014. A Comparative Study on Degrammaticalization of Internet Language in China and Korea. Journal of Linguistic Studies 19(2), 91-114. The purpose of present paper is to research the Internet language of chinese and korean from the point of degrammaticalization and find the similarity and difference. Researches on Internet language have been made mainly on the traditional linguistic concepts. Internet language is used firstly by certain internet users, but spread to the whole internet, and even to the real society life. Within the process, language may change according to a certain route, which can be expressed from the point of word class. In this paper l examined three kind situations showing the change of word class in Korean and Chinese, including 'quasi-affix>noun', 'affix>noun', 'prefix>adverb'. By comparing the practical examples, l found some meaningful differences and similarities. Especially restruction of language has been examined in most examples. (Yonsei University)
