≪釋迦如來十地修行記≫ 술보구문 연구

Abstract

Seokgayeoraesipjisuhaenggi was written by a Buddhist monk during the Goryeo Dynasty in Korea. This work is typical of Early Modern Chinese, and it was written during the Yuan Dynasty of China. Until now, there have been several editions of this, but here, the Nakeunbon edition has been studied as the main material. According to research so far, it was written in 1328. In terms of overall style, grammar, and vocabulary, this literature reflects the language of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty. This study focused on Verb-complement constructions in this literature, which were classified into four subcategories based on some sort of criterion. These four subcategories are ‘Verb-resultative complement’, ‘Verb-directional complement’, ‘state complement’, and ‘potential complement’. Each subcategory can be divided into more detailed categories. ‘Verb-resultative complement’ can be sub-classified according to its semantic orientations: recipient-orientation complement, agent-orientation complement, verb-orientation complement. The verb-orientation complement is also called ‘phase complement’. The Verb-directional complement can be sub-classified into simple directional complement and compound directional complement. Each of these is divided into directional meaning and resultative meaning usage again. The state complement is divided into Result type & Descriptive type. The potential complement is divided into V-de-C, V-de-O. Each complement construction objectively reflects the situation of the complement construction during the Yuan and Ming Dynasty. Although the volume of this work is not large, it fully reflects the objective situation of the language at the time. This paper compared and examined through the literature of Yuan Dynasty and Shuihuzhuan(水滸傳) of the Ming Dynasty, and found that much of them were similar as a result. In particular, the Yuan and Ming Dynasty was the period of simplification of the Verb-complement constructions, and this work shows this character well. We expect Seokgayeoraesipjisuhaenggi to be sufficiently used as a major basis for Early Modern Chinese Complement research in the future.
