방언의 수집과 전사에 대하여 －‘지역어 조사 사업’의 경험을 바탕으로 -

Abstract

This paper has the following two purposes：The first and foremost one is to arrange what we extremely are careful of in collecting its data, and what we especially are considerate of in recording them, from the viewpoint that dialects are said to be 'culture or legacy of record.' The second and important one is to clarify what significance, linguistically and culturally, the data could have, which has been collected and arranged in this way. To hit the aimed target, the author has put a particular emphasis on the following points. First, good informants should be selected. It is recommended that you'd better decide a well-qualified informant after a preliminary research of candidates of more than a decade. The author thinks it profitable by experience to have a married couple as two informants, if an old man and an old woman are from the same county. Second, in surveying the oral utterances, you should pay attention to the following points：① The items that might remind informants of their bitter past or unpleasant reminiscences, should be refrained. ② It is not recommendable that a researcher should not poke his or her nose into the survey itself. ③ It is also important to collect free style oral utterances which are free from the certain framework. Third, it can become very useful in studying lexical data, to keep even the differences between a couple, if possible, let alone such information as [＋new/ old], [＋many/ few：＋much/ little], [＋honorific/ dishonorific]. Fourth, it is desirable to adopt the broad transcription which uses Hangeul alphabet, seen from the viewpoint that regards dialects as a kind of cultural legacy. Fifth, we can not only get the linguistic information such as phonological and grammatical, lexical, sentential, and pragmatic one, from the transcribed oral data, but also infer some aspects of a society in question. The author have tried to verify the above fact by illustrating examples from (4) to (9) in the amin text.
