摘要:AbstractThis study analyzed quotation patterns used in articles of the conservative newspaper theChosunilboand the progressiveHankyoreh. The subject of this study is articles related to the Korea superintendent election that was held on June 4, 2014. In this election, unlike in the past when conservative superintendents were dominant, a sizeable number of progressive candidates were elected. Based on quotations included in articles relating to Korea superintendent election, this study was focused on three aspects: anonymous speaker, speaker of actual name, and predicate in quotation. Both newspapers used anonymous speakers for indirectly revealing opinions against the opponent superintendent. Also, Hankyorehtends to be more clear about speakers with actual name in comparison toChosunilbo, and this seems to be because the former deals with more sensitive subjects than the latter and, therefore, attempts to establish more objectivity. The predicates most frequently used in the quotes were ‘to speak’ and ‘to reveal’ and these two predicates that suggest objectivity were in fact used for delivering remarks made by a superintendent whose political disposition corresponds to the newspaper.
