이태준의 언어의식과 근대적 글쓰기의 場

Abstract

Taejoon Lee is self-conscious of Chosŏn language and Chosŏn tongue writing. He asserts Songmunchuŭi('Jus soli'' in literature) that a work, written in Chosŏn sentence and Chosŏn tongue, belongs to the Chosŏn literature even though it is written by a foreign writer. The entity of Songmunchuŭi is linked with a few elements: firstly, the 'nuance' of Chosŏn tongue, secondly, the realization of prose spirit based on proofs, thirdly, modern language consciousness defining that modern writing is an expression of one's thought by language. We can confirm this aspect in Lee's Munchang Kanghwa(a leture on writing). It is from this Songmunchuŭi that he tried to include such classics as Hanchungnok(records in leisure hours) in the journal Munchang(the writing). It is true that Munchang Kanghwa was affected by the theory on writing of Masao Kume(久米正雄) as well as Tikara Igarashi(五十嵐力), a great master of theory on Japanese writing, who belongs to the lineage of rhetorical flourishes studies of Waseda Universtiry. But, as a theory on Chosŏn language writing, it is a result of trying to realize Songmunchuŭi as well as a proof by which we can confirm his Songmunchuŭi.
