Anglicized Korean Neologisms of the New Millennium: An Overview: A study of how new Korean lexicon incorporates English

  • Eun-Young Julia Kim
Extract

With a rapid increase of electronic communication and online social media, the English language has become a ubiquitous element in global communication.
