텍스트 내 함축의미에 관한 연구- 문화콘텐츠에 대한 의미작용을 중심으로

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to examine the patterns and roles in which individual signification, that is, connotation, appear within the text. For this study, we looked at the status of denotation, myth, connotation in the category of signification. Based on Barthes’s research, we can see that denotation, myth, and connotation are an individual's selective signification. In other words, denotation and myth can be broadly included in the connotation. Connotation is the act of the subject who significations the world. It is not possible to define the nature of semantic action as only personal. These connotations are subject to double limitations. The fixedness of linguistic signs and the collective nature of myths violate the individuality of the connotations. Human thinking that gives meaning continues to seek new meanings while constantly referring to denotations and myths. If the semiosis, which combines signifier and signified, is an act of giving meaning to the world and interpreting it, then signification can be said to be a key mechanism to make the world symbolized and meaningful. Through this semantic action, the subject lives verbally, socially, and culturally as a member of a group. However, not all of the subjects of society live the way the group defined or intended. Therefore, every individual has an individual worldview through its connotations. We confirmed this through Kim Hoon's novel Heuksan.
