한국어 품사분류에서 감탄사의 통시적 분석

Abstract

In this paper, I examine the historical development and the evolution of names and functions of Korean interjections based on word recognition and conceptual frameworks. I examine the criteria for word class classification found in grammar books, focusing on the grammar research achievements during the first period (1897-1933) and the second period (1934-1963) as covered by Koh Young Geun (2001). I analyze the logical progression by comparing the content of grammar books and textbooks from the first period (1897-1933) and the second period (1934-1963) up to the Unification of School Grammar in 1963. It has been established that the function of interjections and their placement in the word class hierarchy can vary based on how words are recognized and the criteria used for word class classification. Interjections can be defined in relation to other parts of speech, either as a subtype of another part of speech or as an independent category. For instance, when postpositional particles, endings, conjunctions, and similar elements are recognized as distinct parts of speech, the position of interjections in the word class hierarchy changes. Research has shown that the Korean parts of speech system has varied from up to 13 parts of speech to as few as 5, with some studies indicating that interjections were sometimes omitted from these classifications. In my study I examine the linguistic characteristics of interjections as a part of speech and their position within the Korean grammar system through a diachronic analysis.
