The purpose of this study is to analyze the patterns of profanity in college stu dents’ conversations on KakaoTalk, examine the causes and patterns of the indis criminate use of Slang words raise awareness of the value of the Korean language There were two main types of Slang words. First, the phenomenon of boundary disappearance in the chora space could be seen. First of all, it is a phenomenon in which patriarchal language is disappearing. It can be seen that this is a phenomenon in which patriarchal consciousness about motherhood and women is disappearing due to the rapid change of times and the resulting changes in social and cultural consciousness. And with the disappearance of gendered power aspects, this means that with the activation of smartphones, the use of slang against unspecified people increases, or that sexual derogatory or sexist language against a specific gender is disappearing due to conversations in group chat rooms where men and women are together. Second, there is the aspect of variation in rhizomatic form. As the forms of slang words are diversified into abbreviations, compound words, new words, consonant or vowel transformations, etc., existing meanings are turning into light and disor derly discourse. They are interested in using a new language that is different from others by modifying consonants or vowels to make them unfamiliar or using them as a Pun. In this way, we observed that the indiscriminate creation of slang words does not create vertical meaning, but forms a horizontal meaning creation structure and is spreading infinitely.
