일반논문: ？？화랑세기？？의 신빙성에 대한 어문학적 접근

Abstract

The issue of the genuineness of Hwarangsegi has been in a state of controversy among groups of historians. The HyangGa recorded in that text led scholars of Korean language and literature to take part in the debate. I expect to ascertain the genuineness of the text by analyzing its linguistic styles. The stories have been organized in different contexts from that of other texts. For example, the weddings of Baekun and Jehu, Chunchu and Munhee in Hwarangsegi were described in different contexts and views from those in Samguksajeolyo or Samgukyusa. The stories of the text were written in realistic, concrete, and natural ways. The sentences are arranged in Korean sentence order. The arrangements of object-predicate, complement-predicate, adverb-verb are found in the text. The auxiliary verbs of classical Chinese were used with different function, and the particles and conjunctions found were deleted at times. Hyangchals, the letters of Silla, borrowed from classical Chinese letters are found in the text. And a few letters make the meaning of the Hyangchals written in HyangGas more specific. Hyangchals, with which SongSadahamGa were written, show the historical characteristics of spelling. Not only is the spelling similar to that of HyangGas which remain today, but also it has distinctive characteristics. And the stylistic features of the text are reflected in the letters of SongSadahamGa. When the above features are reviewed comprehensively, it would be possible to state that Hwarangsegi, due to transcription of the original text, is a genuine text.
