The peculiar language of the North Korean press
The Korean Central News Agency, an initiatve of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (better known as North Korea) puts out several English language news stories on its Tokyo-based web site every day. The KCNA’s use of English is often something to be savoured, and could teach a thing or two to headline writers in the English-speaking world.
For instance, the words “criticized” or even “denounced” seem like pretty weak tea after you’ve read headlines like:
Lee Myung Bak’s Red Herring Ridiculed,
Lee Myung Bak’s Foolish Talk about “Dialogue” Lambasted or
Lee Myung Bak Group’s Ridiculous Anti-DPRK Charade Flayed
(FYI, in some circles, Lee Myung Bak’s group is known as “the government of South Korea.)
