‘싫다[厭]’의 어휘사

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in morphophonology and part of speech that the vocabulary ‘silhta[厭; dislikable]’ has experienced over time, and to identify the process, periods, and drivers of changes. ‘silhda’ is originally a compound word ‘sulhota’ that is combined with ‘hota’, and its conjugation in the 15th century included ‘sulkho’, ‘sulhoni’, and ‘sulhoya’. Today, however, it shows the forms of ‘lh’ regular conjugation such as ‘silkho’, ‘siluni’, ‘sile’. Precedent studies have attempted to explain this change in the same way as vocabularies that have undergone the change from ‘--hota’ to ‘--hta’, or by the influence of ‘sulhta[悲: be sad]’. However, this study considers that ‘silye’, which appeared in the evolution of ‘sulhuyye’ through ‘siliye’, and ‘sile’, a conjugated form of the stem ‘silh-’ which is extracted from the form ‘silkho’ or ‘siluni’, are phonologically similar, therefore, ‘sire’ emerged as a result of recognizing ‘silye’ as a phonetic variant of ‘sire’. ‘sulhota’ also experienced changes in parts of speech. In the 15th century, ‘sulhota’ was used as both a transitive verb and an adjective, while ‘sulhoya hota’ was used only as a transitive verb. Today, however, ‘silhta’ is used as an adjective and ‘silhehata’ is used as a transitive verb. This study interpreted it as a result of understanding ‘sulhota’, which is extracted from the transitive verb ‘sulhoya hota’, as an adjective, and it is associated with the tendency during the early modern Korean language period in which psychological transitive verbs were formed by combining ‘-e ho-’ with psychological adjectives.
