This study examines the realization aspects of gender language in Korean, focusing on situations where a speaker uses gender language strategically through violating gender language norms pertaining to usage of the word's endings hasipsio and haeyo. Currently dominant methods to study gender language in Korean unquestioningly assume gender ideology of the male/female division, and apply that same dichotomous framework to gender language, thus, failing to clarify how it is used in reality. For instance, while the word's endings hasipsio and haeyo are prescribed as male language and female language respectively, it is found out that males also use haeyo and females hasipsio as word's endings situationally in TV drama dialogues. Most of the relevant studies, however, dismiss such cases only as exceptional from the scope of their research topics. In this backdrop, this study examines the realization aspects of gender language in Korean generally and questions the concepts of gender language. And then attempts to analyze situational factors of strategic uses of gender language. In the conclusion, it is revealed that males and females use both hasipsio and haeyo as word's endings, employing speech strategies that integrate various factors such as formality, intimacy, power, age as well as gender, not "exceptions".
The implications of the study are suggested as follows: firstly, one can understand aspects of a gender language performance in a descriptive sense instead of a prescriptive one, when she/he extends her/his perspective beyond the gender of a speaker. It is the choice and strategy of a speaker whether to observe or to violate gender language norms. When these violation cases are explored as a subject of analysis, speech situations and intentions of the speaker are rightfully highlighted instead of the fact that gender language norms have been “violated.” Secondly, one can more accurately understand contexts a gender language performance by examining other various situational factors. Current studies mostly reckon the gender of a speaker as the pivot of gender language analysis, overlooking different contextual factors beyond it. They mistakenly equate attributes of gender language to those of gender, or, in other words, consider gender attributes as essential to gender language. Due to this, what is currently available is only intuitive knowledge and statistical data on gender language that do not analyze the genderization process of language nor explain what causes people to regard male language as “male” and female language as “female.” When both gender and non-gender aspects of gender language performances are taken into account, a wider range of their situational factors are more properly understood.
When this stance is applied to the KFL/KSL(Korean as a Foreign Language/Korean as a Second Language) education, it will provide Korean language learners with practical information on diverse factors of a speech situation, and improve their communication skills.
