한국의 중국어학 연구자 통계 및 연구경향 분석 —《中國文學》을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper studied a research trend and traits of reachers in the field of Chinese literature and linguistics in Korea since 1945 by analyzing their statistical materials. Also, we found out research achievement and characteristics of the journal 《Chinese Literature》 by investigating the articles published from the volume number 1 to the 99. Namely, from 1973 to 2019. The conclusion of this paper is as follows. Firstly, a result of analyzing only the number of researchers of whose birth year was before 1990 (the researchers are over 29 years old) showed the composition ratio of researchers in Chinese linguistics and in Chinese literature was 1:1.4. Also, it revealed that the number of researchers in Chinese literature outnumbers those in Chinese linguistics as a rate of 40%. Second, we made a list of researchers in Chinese linguistics, born from 1945 to late 1960s and analyzed their research trend. We could figure out the majority of them engaged in a bibliographical and historical study on Chinese Confucian classics in a traditional meaning, which was so called a Taiwanese school tradition. However since then, the researchers who were born after 1960 and earned their Ph.D. in Korea as well as in China have been leading the research trend. In the case of Chinese literature, articles that are difficult to classify following the current methodology of classifying research field were published in the late 2000s. On the contrary, articles in Chinese linguistics have represented no noticeable change except that articles in the field of modern Chinese grammar have been published in large numbers since in 2000s. Third, this study classified papers in the field of Chinese linguistics into several sub research fields and finally reasoned out its research trend from 1973 to this year, by examining papers published in 《Chinese Literature》 from volume number 1 to 99.
