『겨울연가』･『冬のソナタ』의 상호번역에 나타나는 경어고찰

Abstract

This study investigated and classified examples of honorifics in Winter Sonata (겨울연가) (The script of South Korea’s KBS2 TV Drama written by Yoon Eun󰠏kyung and directed by Yoon Seok󰠏ho)) and the Japanese translation of it, 冬のソナタ Ⅰ󰠏Ⅳ and investigated the differences in honorific expressions in Korea and Japan through the translation between the examples of honorifics in the Korean and Japanese dramas to draw concrete results as follows. Most were expressions with honorifics in both Korean and Japanese (59), followed by expressions with honorifics only in Korean (31) and examples of expressions with honorifics only in Japanese (11). In both languages, as for the specific terms expressed with honorifics, in most examples, honorific expressions in Japanese appeared as honorific expressions in Korean (39), followed by humble expressions in Japanese appearing as honorific expressions in Korean (7) and humble language in Japanese expressed as humble language in Korean (5). As for the specific items expressed with honorifics only in Korean, most were honorific language (26), followed by humble language (5) and courteous words (0). As for the specific items expressed with honorifics only in Japanese, most were honorific language (6), followed byhumble language (5), and courteous words (0). In other words, it was noted that the Korean language made use of honorific expressions compared to the Japanese language, while in the Japanese language, there were various and more types of humble language compared to the Koan language. As for honorific expressions in both Korea and Japan, honorifics (honorific language, humble language) to honor persons in scenes and situations and those (courteous words, polite language) to show courtesy in human relations on the scenes were chosen as the forms of honorifics. And yet, the difference in the form of honorifics that appear as age or intimate relationship is a sociolinguistic problem. It is noted that honorific expressions are deeply related to the members’ consciousness or social structure with sociolinguistic changes according to the conversation partners and the scenes of use.
