초기 한국어 문법 학습의 언어자료 특성 연구－19세기 말~20세기 초 영어판 한국어 교재를 중심으로－

Abstract

As a diachronic research on Korean language education, this study analyzed Korean linguistic materials for grammar shown in the Korean language texts in those times in order to trace the teaching and learning methods of western people from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Linguistic materialsshown on the grammar part of the textbooks were analyzed based on four analysis standards: type(unit) of linguistic materials, placement in the main body of the books, functions and characteristics of linguistic materials(whether they were quoted or originally created). The analysis result is as follows. First, most of linguistic materials had a form of sentence. The examples came, sometimes, in phrase but very marginal, though. Second, linguistic materials for grammar shown in Ross(1882)’s textbook were placed at the end of the grammar part. The sentences then placed to the end of each grammar section in Scott(1893)’s textbook. linguistic materials presented in textbooks of Baird(1903) and Gail(1916) were placed in the middle of the section in which each grammar of Korean language is explained, which reflects the fact that the proportion and importance of linguistic materials were getting bigger in teaching and learning Korean language. Third, linguistic materials for grammar at those times were mainly used for structural and syntactic explanation of each grammar unit. Fourth, the analysis result shows that all the linguistic materials were made by the authors by themselves. This comes in clear comparison with linguistic materials in conversation books which were taken or quoted from preceding books. linguistic materials for grammar which clearly presented the characteristics of each grammar unit and was getting more and more linked with grammar explanation. The proportion of grammar study in Korean language got bigger at those times. All these facts above have quite a big implication and lesson for Korean language education of today.
