The topic suggested for this paper is the effect of linguistic developments and synchronic standardization. I take the assumption to be tested here is the hypothesis to the effect that language change is as well as was in the past balanced between language development and standardization. I illustrate this with one aspect of the recent lexical diffusion or spreading of the innovation paradigms of verb class ‘바라->바래-’(to wish) in addition to other similar cases of verb stems, such as ‘놀라->놀래-(to be surprised), 모자라->모자래-(to be deficient), 나무라->나무래-(to reproach)’ et cetera in now-days Korean. As a result, out of this study concerned, I could draw a concluding remark that a on-going natural morphological change with regard to suffix -i in synchronic Korean can be slowed or stymied by the process of standardization and enforcement of strict written various form of norms. All in all, I d like to suggest in this paper that the tension between natural developments in folk spoken language and strict standardization has led to a linguistic rift between every day life of communication and Modern Korean.
