The language variation which has its origin in the age difference is also closely related to the academic backgrounds of the members in certain age range. Accordingly, this study used the academic career as a social variable which has an effect on the contextual language variants. For the purpose of this experiment, this study established the detailed standards to categorize the educational backgrounds. This study classified the school careers as uneducated, elementary school graduated, middle school graduated, high school attending, high school graduated, college(university) attending, and university graduated. According to those specified career standards, this thesis finds the actualization level of contextual phonologic variants.
Additionally, this document focused on the gender difference as a social variable which has an effect on the contextual variants. Thus, the study examined the actualization level of contextual euphonic changes which result from the gender difference. In a point of view of the linguistic alternation, another key factor is the influence of social context as a social variable. The 'formal speaking style' or the 'casual speaking style' made the contextual changes. Therefore this study investigated the realizations of euphonic variations which were due to the social variables such as age difference, academic career, and gender. Also this thesis explained the phoneme changes which were caused by those social variables, with the different speaking styles such as the 'formal style' and the 'casual style'.
As a result of contextual variants experiment, the older informants used the regional language of Dae-jeon more often than the standard language. Also there was a comparatively small gap between the frequencies in use of the formal speaking style and the casual speaking style. The age and the academic career were closely related with each other. So to speak, the linguistic behaviors of the fifties were similar to the linguistic behaviors of the high school graduated informants. The sixties were similar to the middle school graduated and the seventies were similar to the elementary school graduated. In this study, all of the informants who are in the 'high school attending' category were teenagers. So the linguistic behavior of the teenagers and high school attending informants are same. Women used the casual speaking style more often than men, and then there was a drastic gap between the frequencies in use of the formal speaking style and the casual speaking style
