Annotation

This study focuses on the female solidarity address term caki (you) employed by Korean married women in natural interactions to indicate nearness, and its implication of power in Korean mothers’ conversations and networks, which have become a socially accepted kind of power, called the ‘Married Women’s Network’, for exchanging valuable information, especially on child education.
