Lu, Xinghua & Feng Xiaoying. (2025). Comparative study of Korean news articles in South Korea, China and North Korea based on regression analysis: Taking Korean characters as a case. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 33(2), 27-49. This study focuses on the Korean characters appearing in Korean-language news texts from South Korea, China, and North Korea. Using regression analysis, a functional model of character frequency distribution curves was established, and the distribution patterns were comparatively analyzed. The results show that both unsegmented linear and nonlinear regression models performed poorly, whereas segmented nonlinear regression models significantly improved the fit. Among the three countries, North Korea exhibited the lowest character diversity, with a small number of high-frequency characters dominating the text, followed by South Korea and China. Although the overall shapes of the character frequency distribution curves were similar across the three countries, differences were observed in the rankings of specific characters, and each country featured some unique rare characters. These findings are expected to provide valuable reference for comparative studies on Korean-language statistics among the three countries. |
