≪釋迦如來十地修行記≫ 부사 연구

Abstract

Seokgayeoraesipjisuhaenggi was written by a Buddhist monk during the Goryeo Dynasty in Korea. This literature 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 Song & Yuan Dynasty. This study focused on adverbs in this literature, which were classified into eight subcategories based on some sort of criterion. These eight subcategories are ‘time adverbs’, ‘range adverbs’, ‘additional adverbs’, ‘negative adverbs’, ‘connection adverbs’, ‘degree adverbs’, ‘modality adverbs’, and ‘state/means adverbs’. Each subcategory can be divided into more detailed categories. Adverbs in each subcategory consist of ancient adverbs and Early Modern adverbs. Since this work is centered on the literary style, there are many ancient adverbs and a high percentage of appearances. Nevertheless, there are still many adverbs of Early Modern times, especially adverbs that represent the typical form of adverbs in Early Modern times. There are many one-syllable adverbs that reflect ancient times, but many two-syllable adverbs also appear. Based on all of this, we are confident that this literature is clearly a reflection of the language of the Song & Yuan Dynasty.
