Vortrag: Ethnolinguistic shift of the frontier territory of Sakhalin Island

The story of the Sakhalin Koreans

My lecture considers the history and ethnolinguistic shift of the Sakhalin Koreans.

My research is dedicated to the language shift on the Sakhalin Island. It considers the language situation of the Korean diaspora that has been living on the island since the beginning of the twentieth century. Korean people were sent to Sakhalin for forced labour during Japanese rule called “Karafuto”. After The Second World War, Korea was divided into South and North one and Sakhalin came under the jurisdiction of the USSR. North Korea was under the protection of the USSR, while South Korea was under the protection of the USA. In this regard, Sakhalin Koreans could not repatriate to their homeland in South Korea and continued to live on the Island. As a result of the assimilation and integration of Koreans into the Soviet and post-Soviet society, linguistic shift took place that affected not only language but also culture and identity.
