법률 조문의 차별적 언어 표현 연구

From the perspective of communication, the problems of judicial provisions involve obscurity, opacity and discriminatory expression. Among them, obscurity in vocabulary and sentence is gradually dissolved owing to persistent effort. Meanwhile, discriminatory expressions in provisions have not drawn much attention up to now. Recently the underprivileged and minorities are facing increased concerns in society. Still, there remains discriminatory expression in current provisions on account of mistakes or carelessnesses. This is contrary to basic value in democracy orienting to equal society. The discrimination, either conscious or unconscious, leaves others with a feeling of insult and may be connected to unequal treatment to others.

For the purpose of this, the guide in creation of law should address a range of discriminatory expressions and detailed principles should be prepared.
