번역 소설에서의 중국어 재귀사 ‘自己’의 한국어 대응 양상 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the patterns of Korean equivalents that correspond with the Chinese reflexive pronoun ‘自己’ to make it a reference material for Korean reflexive pronoun education and learning. To achieve this goal, we analyzed and investigated three novels published in Chinese and three novels translated into Korean. As a result, the patterns of correspondence between Chinese ‘自己’ and Korean can be classified into four categories: the use of ‘自己’ and Korean reflexive pronouns, use of ‘自己’ and Korean personal pronouns, use of ‘自己’ and other Korean adverbs, and pattern of ‘自己’ omission in Korean. First, by examining the correspondence between ‘自己’ and Korean reflexive pronouns, we can observe that the differences in personal constraints and use of plurals influence the correspondence between Chinese and Korean reflexive pronouns. Second, in the correspondence between ‘自己’ and Korean personal pronouns, it is evident that the simple reflexive ‘自己’ and compound reflexive ‘N+自己’ can both correspond to Korean 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person pronouns. Third, in the correspondence between ‘自己’ and Korean adverbs, ‘自己’ is shown to correspond with terms like ‘혼자’, ‘직접’, ‘스스로’, and ‘알아서’. Fourth, it appears that the omission pattern of ‘自己’ in Korean constitutes a significant portion of the analysis.
