[X-Jok] neologisms are, in the first place, classified into target types and field types, and then the target types are classified specifically by age and gender. By doing so, the sociolinguistic meanings reflected in each type are examined. The field types are subdivided into three sectors like the following; first is food, clothing, and shelter. Second is economy, education and environment. Third is culture. According to each sector, its sociolinguistic implications are examined.

Therefore, the repeated patterns of [X[HON x]-Jok], [X[PYEON x]-Jok], [X[x KANGS]-Jok] are studied.
