| Research Abstract |
This is a research on the Japanese language policy enforced by the Government-General of Korea in May, 1942, when the announcement was made about the Enforcement of the Military Draft. This research is based on the analyses of the Kokugo-joyo("Use Japanese Only") policy promoted by Kokumin-Soryoku Chosen-Renmei.
In 2003, I studied the Reports of the Fuin-Gunshu-Kaigi and compiled the reports from 9 regions and 156 prefectures and districts in Korea concerning the Kokugo-joyo policy. To this study, I added my analyses of this policy and related articles collected from daily newspapers such as Keijo-Nippo, Maeil-Shinpo, and Ahahi-Shimbun Chosen-ban, and monthly magazines such as Nihongo, Bunkyo-no-Chosen and Chosen. Based on these studies I published A Collection of Materials for the Japanese Language Policy Imposed by the Government-General of Korea from Kansai University Press. The result of these studies is believed to contribute to the further development of the colonial policy studies.
I also gave a presentation entitled "‘Use Japanese Only' Policy Enforced by the Government-General of Korea During the Pacific War" at The Association for the Japan Sea Rim Studies.
In 2005, I published three articles on the "A Word A Day" movement, the forced use of Japanese and the ban on Korean, and the "Use Japanese Only" policy with a code of punishments. I also introduced an article about the language policy published in 1942 that I discovered at the Busan Metropolitan Simin Municipal Library.
I will develop my research further by following the language policy back to 1937, when the Kominka-Seisaku was introduced, and I am planning to collect materials concerning this policy enforced through social education such as "Japanese Seminars" promoted by the Government-General of Korea.
