교과서의 문체적 양상 변화 고찰

Abstract

This is the study on the stylistic tendency of nonliterary writings in Korean text books which had published by Korean Government from 1945 to 1998. I had checked mainly on the quantitative changes since it can easily reveal stylistic peculiarity. The length of sentences in Korean text book which had published by government from the early period of curriculum to the latest revision of curriculum gradually have became short. And the quantity of word have decreased in a sentence. On the contrary, the quantity of syllable in a noun have increased. And the quantity of sentence in a paragraph have increased, but the quantity of word in a paragraph have decreased. The quantity of simple sentence in a paragraph have increased but complicative sentence have decreased. Such phenomena show us the fact that people prefer to short sentence and abstraction of contents for communicating with others effectively. The changes of the kinds of sentence don't appear so much, but adjective sentences have decreased slightly as time goes by. As for words, quantity of proper noun have increased but abstract noun have decreased. Such phenomena would have resulted from people's conscious avoiding Chinese word or from people's refining Korean movement on a national basis. And the increasing phenomena of compound noun and compound verb in contrast with decreasing of simple word would had resulted from people's intention for abstractive and effective expression. As for cohesion in writings, the adjunctive verbs and deictic words have decreased.
