Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to compare the usages of onomatopoeia and mimetic words between Korean and Chinese internet communication. In this paper, we summarize concretely what kinds of onomatopoeia and mimetic words have been used, and analyze the semantic function, the features of the usages of onomatopoeia and mimetic words, dividing them into two types of “came from everyday words” and “made in internet”. The results of analysis are the followings. The fact that there are some concomitant features of the usages of onomatopoeia and mimetic words between Korean and Chinese network communication were confirmed. On the contrary, there are also a few kinds of differences. On account of character input features of Chinese, many pinyin character's repetition forms and pinyin character reduction forms had been used. The “ORZ” and other image letters were used for positive and negative emotion together by China netizens. Take it as a whole, because of differences in characters and character input mode of two languages, there are differences of the usages of onomatopoeia and mimetic words. But they have many similarities of usages, on account of the same motivation and culture of netlanguage use between Korean and Chinese internet communication.
