Abstract in another language

English is learned in South Korea as a foreign language and does not fulfill official functions. Nevertheless, English is widely used in various sectors of the society and plays an important role in the education system. Tourism, pop culture, (return) migration, and Anglicisms provide additional grounds for language contact between English and Korean. Attitudes toward English and Korean(ized) English are complex and contradictory and reveal the tensions experienced by Korean speakers of English. This entry discusses the role of English in Korean society as well as the functions and forms of Korean English. Evidence from extensive corpus-based research suggests that Korean English should be considered a codified variety of English in its own right—an insight that also has important implications for variety naming and modeling.
