18세기 초 ‘模擬⋅剽竊’ 논의의 안과 밖

Abstract

Writers of Chosun opposed mock․plagiarism(模擬⋅剽竊) with one voice. Arguments on what is concrete standards on mock and plagiarism and where is the boundary are diversified. Various and keen arguments on mock․plagiarism were magnified in the middle and later of Chosun. I limited on debates about writers of Nongam Group’s expressions. Above the rest, I focused on Wooam’s debate of praise on portrait. Insisting “to change five hundred instead of three hundred” was to emphasize the meaning with quoting phrase of Mecius(孟子) on Kimchanghyeop’s writings which described Wooam Songsiyeol as an outstanding person during 300 years since Chosun founding. However, Kimchanghyeop argued to write sincerely and insisted three hundred instead of five hundred. Writers of Kimchanghyeop’s group claimed to write sincerely and accurately with those language without distinction time past and present, and the elegance and popularity. That is, to writing three hundred of five hundred from must writing three hundred for real sentence in previous argument of Wooam praise on portrait. Writers of Kimchanghyeop’s group criticized for writers of the pseudo classical style(擬古文) as mock․plagiarism. Looking at large, those were problems on how they learn the past and how much they borrowed. By the way, another debate in these arguments was an insistence which already using the dead’s word itself is a Mantra(陳言) and mock(模擬). That is an insistence to not write words used by the dead for the genuine(眞), and to write those time language against using the classic. This insistence of writers of Kimchanghyeop’s group was an improved view from arguments on replication of the past(擬古) and mock․plagiarism and a meaning insistence. While the arguments on against replication of the past(反擬古) or mock․plagiarism was a problem that how they emulate the past, the insistence of writers of Kimchanghyeop’s group was a problem that what they emulate from the past. Because a problem that how they emulate the past is an oughtness while a problem that what they emulate from the past is a choice. This insistence of writers of Kimchanghyeop’s group was important in points such as acceptance of language’s timeliness and to become a clue of the later syntax.
