초록

The purpose of this study is to analyze the recent combination patterns of the neologism formed with morphemes ‘king’ and ‘god’ and to analyze the changed morphological and semantic characteristics. Thus, we attempted to reposition the morphemes ‘king’ and ‘god’ based on existing discussions on neologism affix and blends. We looked at the origin and evolution of neologism combining the morphemes ‘king’ and ‘god’, and classified usage patterns collected from posts on social network service X. The morphemes ‘king’ and ‘god’ not only combine Chinese characters and foreign word nouns, but also compound native words, Chinese characters, and foreign word nouns, roots, adverb. And they also clip the first syllable of following word and combine with verb, adjective and phrase. There was also a unique composition in which ‘king’ and ‘god’ formed a sort of collocation with each other in a phrase or a sentence. The semantic characteristics of ‘king’ and ‘god’ were found to emphasize their meaning when combined with vocabulary of positive value, and add positive value to vocabulary of neutral value. When combined with a vocabulary of negative value, the degree of negativity was strengthened or a self-deprecatory character was added. However, due to the nature of Internet communication, expressiveness and entertainment, such as ‘king-batda’, were taken into consideration, and a semantic change was observed where the intensity of negativity was weakened.
