『어제백행원(언해)』이본 간의 국어학적 고찰 -장서각 소장 금속활자본『어제백행원(언해)』과 필사본 「어졔백행원」을 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the problems that occur from treating the published version of “Eojebaekhaengwon(Korean annotation)” which went through corrections and its manuscript version which has the character of a draft, as the same sort, when the manuscript and published versions have different properties according to Korean annotations and corrections. After reviewing the two versions in terms of transcription, phoneme, grammar, and vocabulary from the viewpoint of the Korean linguistic history, this study shows that the manuscript version has the characteristics of the Korean language of the time before the publication, and the published version is in accord with the status of the Korean language at the time of the publication. These two variants were made in 1765, and the published version went through corrections by editors during compilation. In case the manuscript version is regarded as a traditional form of transcription, some broken or missing grammars may be clarified. Moreover, because the manuscript version was transcribed mainly in the style of the time before the publication, this study showed that its Korean annotator was probably an old person, and the person was most probably Yeongjo in terms that in the published version, an intentional form prefinal ending ‘-오-’ was used in the places which suggested Yeongjo's intents, and humble form prefinal endings ‘-옵-’ and ‘-오-’, and an honorific form prefinal ending ‘-시-’ were used in the places which suggested ‘님금’, and in terms that the manuscript version was bound as ‘어제서’ without vocabulary.
