울진 방언 가사문학 작품의 성조 연구

Abstract

In this paper, I studied the metrical system of Gasa literary work with the form of an old Korean verse' written and recited by a Uljin native speaker. The major metre of Uljin dialect is tone. Therefore, In this research, I was focusing on the tonemic pattern(/side-dot pattern) of the tonemic patterns of the feet of the work and it's construction. The name of this work is Boasting of Uljin's Noted Places. This Gasa was written and recited by Madam Jeongnam Ju, a Uljin native speaker, by in 1988. Uljin is a county to the east coast of Korea belonging to Gyeongbuk Province. This Gasa consists of 262 lines, and each lines, four feet with four syllables. The first and third foot of each line is stressed(sounded loud-voiced), and the second and fourth are unstressed.( a little weak.) The last syllable of each foot was lengthened with a falling pitch. Each foot consists of a tonemic pattern, some regular and some irregular ones. Uljin dialect is three-tone system: an unmarked plain 'pyeonseong' (□), two marked tones, geoseong 'departing tone' (·□) and sangseong 'rising tone'(:□). In the case of four-syllable foot, there are 6 side-dot patterns: 4 pyeongcheuk(/complex) patterns (□□□□, □□□·□, □□·□·□, □·□·□·□) one geoseong pattern(·□) and one sangseong(:□·□·□·□). The reason why these kinds of side-dot patterns are restricted so strongly is because of the strong neutralizing force of the two marked tones and the weak neutralizing force of the plain tone affecting the following syllable.
