This study aims to examine the language use of Korean Japanese through the creation of a spoken corpus. This corpus was built based on parts of language data obtained by interviewing 1st and 2nd generation Koreans residing in Ikuno-ku in Osaka-shi, Japan. In this spoken corpus, dictated texts were obtained from ten informants, comprising of 1st and 2nd generation residents from Jeju, over a period of three hours. The corpus lets us not only hear the informants’ actual sounds through simple manipulation, but also analyze their traits as the corpus is equipped with information such as sex, age, and birthplace. However, the dictated texts need to be made more accurate and various ranges of tagged information need to be added in order to discuss the overall language use of Korean Japanese. Moreover, as the size of the present corpus is relatively small, it needs to be expanded through the collection of more language data.
