한국 한문 문법서의 성과와 향후 과제

Abstract

The Korean Classical Chinese grammar book can be provisionally defined in the meaning of ‘a book which is written by Koreans and deals with explanations of Classical Chinese grammar based on morphology and syntax’. There are two kinds of Korean Classical Chinese grammar books. One is a description of basic grammar knowledge for reading. The other one is a compilation by the goal of ‘Explanation of Classical Chinese grammar system’. This paper mainly focuses on the latter. The purpose of this paper is not to compare or criticize the terms, classification, presented in those books. Rather, we focus on analyzing previous research achievements and describing the tasks that follow, required in the compilation process of Classical Chinese grammar books to be compiled in the future. In this paper, we examined the achievements of the Classical Chinese grammar books through the active use of parts of speech, inversion and omission in a sentence. We also discussed some future tasks focusing on the following: the first is the grammatical consciousness-raising of Classical Chinese; the second is the selection of the effective examples; the third is the system, concept, and terminology of the grammar book; the fourth is the tasks related to function words; the fifth is the addition of grammatical items; the sixth is grammatical description of a text sentence. We anticipate that the contents discussed in this paper will be of benefit to the researchers writing the Korean Classical Chinese grammar book.
