李齊賢 산문의 수사 기법 연구

Abstract

Lee Je-hyun, a writer of Koryo Dynasty, left lots of proses. He mostly wrote about the thought of loyalty and filial piety. This might came from his political position and the thought of Sung Confucianism. Then I wondered the way of embodiment of these characters. Former researches about Lee Je-hyun generally focused on his main theme or subject in his prose. However, I focused on the rhetorical devices which Lee Je-hyun used in his prose. He used various rhetorical devices in his prose, and those really contributed to make subject clear and flourish. Lee Je-hyun used analogy to inculcate his opponents. And he sometimes used illustrations to establish logical propriety. He also made the most of existing debates, and made it deepen and expanded to strengthen his arguments. Lee Je-hyun's prose are highly estimated because of its brevity and logicality. I think those virtues mostly came from rhetorical devices which he used in his prose.
