삼국유사 소재 <處容歌>의 高麗的 어휘 요소와 그 示唆에 關하여

Abstract

This thesis investigated some words in Chǒyongga處容歌 in Samgukyusa三國遺事 and argued that Chǒyongga was transformed in the Koryo高麗 dynasty from its original form. Chǒyongga, which has long constituted an important domain of research in the field of Korean literature and linguistics, has been generally considered as a poem of the Silla新羅 dynasty. However, some words in this poem such as ‘tonggyong東京'․‘yǒga如可(-다가)'․‘lyangǔl良乙(-아)'․‘lyangla良羅(-러라)'․‘maǒǔn馬於隱(-마)’ present the linguistic characteristics of later period. On the basis of the contemporary kugyol口訣, idu吏讀, and place names, these words were inferred as being used only after the 13th century. This point coincides with the fact that Samgukyusa, which contained Chǒyongga, was published in the late 13th century. This result opens up the possibility that Chǒyongga is not the original text of Silla but the transformed version of Koryo, and it implies that the future studies of Chǒyongga have to reconsider of its formative period. For example, Chǒyongga has been considered as a main proof of the eight-line poetic form in the Silla hyangga鄕歌. However, this hypothesis should be reconsidered if we raise doubts about the time Chǒyongga was formed.
