Abstract
This paper deals with the circumstances surrounding the standardization of Korean as a minority language in China and analyzes why Chinese Korean has not appointed an area for it to be the standard language since the normalization of orthography in 1985. The norm and orthography of Chinese Korean focusing on lexical norms, has vascillated from the period of the foundation of the People's Republic of China to the conclusion of the "Great Cultural Revolution," according to the policies of the Communist Party of China. There are mainly two policies for Chinese Korean standardization; one is based on the existing words of Korean, and the other is the increasing theory of common ingredient with Chinese. "The Four Norms," the new norm of Chinese Korean enacted in 1985 after the end of the "Great Cultural Revolution", should be evaluated as a deviation from the language norm of North Korea as well as an attempt to free itself from the increase theory of a common ingredient with Chinese.
