2004, Liu Binghu, quoting Piao Changyu, “Piao Changyu”, in Kim Keong-il, editor, Pioneers of Korean Studies, Seoul: Orom Systems, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 457This study investigates the utterable genderlect found in the Korean language used in Yeonbeon^([sic – meaning Yeonbyeon]) area, China. It is regrettable that we find hardly any work on this gender-preferential language in Yeonbeon^([sic – meaning Yeonbyeon]) Korean when the researches on the subject of language and gender overflow in foreign literature. Analysing the men's and women's genderlect appearing in the novels written by women writers in Yeonbyeon, I will specify the linguistics features of those genderlect on three dimensions; phonology, grammar, and glossary.
