Inclusion of Loanwords into the Basic Words

From the Viewpoint of Discourse-Organizing Function

Abstract

I continue a study to elucidate the factors of “Inclusion of Loanwords into the Basic Words” in the newspaper texts written in the second half of the 20th century. KIM (2006a) showed clearly that “inclusion of many abstract loanwords into the basic words” occurred when the loanwords turned into synonymous superordinate of Japanese origin “Wago𔄢 and Chinese origin “Kango”, and gave lexical stylistics explanation that summarization of the newspaper texts in the second half of the 20th century needed many loanwords as superordinate words. In this paper, focusing on discourse-organizing function of superordinate, I found the fact that abstract noun loanwords were increasing the amount used to acquire and develop the discourse-organizing function (reiteration is core) by two forms (usage) of demonstrative phrase and noun (phrase) in apposition.
 The result confirms the validity of the prospect that discourse-organizing function relates to inclusion of abstract loanwords into the basic words.
