일제강점기 여성잡지의 일본어 음운 한글 표기 연구 ―『우리의가뎡』을 중심으로―

Abstract

This study examines the Korean notation of Japanese phonemes in the Japanese language study section of the women's magazine "우리의가뎡-Our Home," published during the Japanese colonial era. It explores the perception of Japanese phonemes in the 1910s and the characteristics of Korean notation. To this end, I compared and contrasted six Japanese language study books published around 1910 with the phonetic notation used in the Japanese language study section of "Our Home." The Japanese phonetic transcription in the magazine displayed some differences, particularly in the representation of Japanese sounds that do not have corresponding phonemes in Korean and in the murky writing of the Japanese language. However, these differences remained largely within the scope of Korean writing as presented in Japanese study books. Additionally, it was observed that the Korean transcription of Japanese example sentences adhered to the legend but prioritized a notation that closely reflected actual pronunciation. In other words, the focus was on phonetic transcription according to real pronunciation rather than on literal character transcription. This analysis confirms that the Japanese phonetic Korean writing in the Japanese learning column, serialized to facilitate exchanges between Korean wives and the Japanese, aligns with the founding purpose of "Our Home." The publication aimed to subtly integrate Japanese culture into Korean families through these exchanges and to extend the reach of Japan’s national education to Korean wives.
