「諺文厚生錄」에 대한 국어학적 고찰 －표기와 어휘 특징을 중심으로－

Abstract

In this study, we examine the grounds for classifying the previously unstudied manuscript <Eonmunhusaengnog>(諺文厚生錄) as a family encyclopedia, and estimate the time of transcription through the observed characteristics of notation and vocabulary. This book is a manuscript that uses both Korean and Chinese characters. Although the exact date and author of the transcription are unknown, based on the observed notation style, it is estimated to be a work from the late 19th to early 20th century during the period of modernization in Korea. Originally in the possession of Ahn Chun-geun, the book is now held at the Jangseogak Archives of the Academy of Korean Studies. The book has the following formal characteristics: it consists of a total of 41 chapters, where chapters 1 to 3 contain content unrelated to the book's title. Starting from chapter 4 to chapter 41, approximately 103 different topics and their respective explanations are included. The main contents of the book are related to food, clothing and shelter, and there are also contents about cooking, but in particular, the contents of the wedding and the direction of moving are recorded in detail. Therefore, it is difficult to classify this book as a cookbook due to its nature, and it can be classified as an encyclopedia of family life like 『Gyuhapchongseo』. As a characteristic of the notation, it shows confused notation, which is a common aspect in the modern Korean language period. In particular, it is characterized by the presence of ‘jungcheol’ and ‘ buncheol’ excessive proofreading, and most of the ‘hab-yongbyeongseo’ show only ‘ㅅ계’. As a characteristic of vocabulary, we can first observe the use of terms such as ‘soib(所入)' and 'soyong(所用)'. Additionally, it is worth noting the practice of borrowing the sounds of Chinese characters to represent native Korean words, and the usage of various unit nouns.
