하동 방언 ‘오시다, 오이소, 오시요’체의 쓰임과 변화

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze closely some hearer honorific forms in Hadong dialect from all angles of the form, origin, usage, and distribution of them. The subject of investigation are the old forms 'osida, oiso, osiyo' of Hadong dialect and the new forms 'o(si)jiyo, oseyo' from standard Korean. We examined their geographical distribution and the usages appeared according to the speakers' generation and gender. Also we investigated the language attitude of speakers. The data we analyzed were the oral literature material in existing already and the findings by a questionnaire of this time. We applied case study method and statistical method. Through such a multi-dimensional analysis, we attempted to predict the change of distribution of that forms in the future. As a result of analysis from a geographical viewpoint, we confirmed that 'oiso, o(si)jiyo, oseyo' were used in the whole area of Hadong, 'osida' was used in the central and the northern area, and 'osiyo' was used very rarely in the northern area. From a standpoint of speakers' generation, we ascertained that the old age, the middle-aged, and the manhood speakers used various new or old forms and native or incoming forms together, but most of the youth used only the new incoming form 'oseyo'. There was a distinct difference in usages according to the speakers' generation. From a viewpoint of speakers' gender, it was found that man used much of 'osida, oiso', but woman used much of 'oseyo, o(si)jiyo'. Man and the old native forms had a close interrelation, and then woman and the new incoming forms had it too. We concluded that the use of 'osida, o(si)jiyo, osiyo' of Hadong dialect will be reduced gradually in future, 'oiso' lasts quite a long time, and 'oseyo' expands to a great extent in the process.
