Abstract

Since the opening of the port in 1876, the Joseon society has adopted Western newspapers and new knowledge, breaking away from traditional values and forming a modern way of thinking. Prior to the opening of the port, he gradually developed into modern knowledge, either by accepting Chinese knowledge or by accepting Western books and newspapers through China. Since then, the government has gradually sought to cultivate talented people with foreign language skills, gradually breaking away from the acceptance of knowledge dependent upon China and Japan, to translate foreign language books and send students to various countries to import new knowledge and new culture materials. Meanwhile, the Korean society, which used to treat neighboring countries such as Japan and China as the exclusion of foreigners and barbarian before modern times, has changed its outlook on the world since its opening in 1876. The world map, which was embedded in Koreans' perceptions, was newly drawn through the restructuring process through modern knowledge and new culture, and the world, which was recognized around East Asia, expanded to Western Europe. Within this extended modern space of time, various cultures and concepts were formed and a new language was needed to represent them. In addition, the consumption and distribution of various new culture resulted in the formation of new knowledge structures as well as the expansion of the professional world. Korea has moved away from the agrarian society to an industrial society that manufactures new culture and to a material civilization that consumes them. The new culture and the need for a name for the new world were needed, and the naming of the various concepts derived from it was also rapid. And many new words were created to do this, which in turn affected the formation of modern language education and knowledge structure. Song Heon-seok (1880?-1965?) was one of the new intellectuals who contributed to the introduction and reproduction of new knowledge in modern times through various writing activities during these modern times. Through the foreign language study book he wrote, we looked at the introduction of new vocabulary and the acceptance and reproduction of concept in the modern era.
