| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This study aims to identify the inter-Korean communicative belief and empirically
test whether it can interpret North Korea’s intentions. This research assumes that
North Korea uses verbal, vocal, and visual codes in its TV message format when
it intends to confront South Korea, and inter-Korean relations worsen when North
Korea uses such codes in its TV messages. Next, this study constructs the ideal type
of North Korea’s message format, which consists of intellectually accessible verbal,
vocal, and visual codes that are likely to represent North Korea’s hostility toward
South Korea. This study analyzes 321 official statements and 65 video clips that
North Korea issued to South Korea from 2011–2015 and examines the statistical
regularity between North Korea’s intentions interpreted on the basis of message
format and observed changes in inter-Korean relations. The results show that interKorean
relations grew statistically significantly worse when a particular female
announcer and more bellicose images appeared. |
