근대계몽기 국문 담론 양상과 언문일치

Abstract

This paper explores some development and aspects of the korean language use and its semantic network, based on the arguments related to the Korean language use in the modern period of enlightenment. In those days, many intellectuals insisted on the exclusive Korean language use movement and spoken and written language match. Nevertheless, Korean languages and Chinese characters begun to be used together in the written text. By reviewing the Korean language use movement and the spoken and written language match during the period, some findings are summarized as follows : First, as for the exclusive use of korean language and the spoken and written language match, their necessity is more highlighted than their essential aspect since they are associated with the nation and nationalism. Second, the exclusive use of korean language and the spoken and written language match lead to the extensive oppression ot the use of Chiness characters. Third, new intellectuals who study abroad cannot put the exclusive use of Korean language into practice although they emphasize the use of Korean language itself.
