東西의 소설 《언어 없는 생활》 속 발화양상과 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the utterance aspects and meaning of the novel in Dongsi's 《The life of no language》. The three main characters in this works can not see, can not speak and can't hear, respectively. Due to these deficiencies, they are uncomfortable with communicating with others. Language functions as a kind of power in the village, and those who do not have a ‘standard’ language are pushed out of power. Because they do not have a language, they suffer destruction and violence from the villagers. And those with deficits regard their violence as their own deprivation and internalize and customize it. This vicious cycle sees those with a deficit as a ‘worthless and needy being’, justifying the destruction against them and forcing silence. Their utterance has no meaning or effect in the public language world. In that sense, their escape is read as a hoping for human life and resistance to the forced silence of the public language world. And this is proof of the fact that they are questioning their own situation and situation. Nonetheless, the violence of the public language world continued, but they oppose the‘trinity’way of filling each other’s deficits. Through them, their utterance for finding the status and power of their lives regains the full meaning of speaking and acting for the first time. But Shengri(勝利) is taken away from the language of the public language world. This means that their escape is ended in failure by adding a social environment that prevents them from talking about their functional deficits. This novels are a record of and a failure to resist how a living being outside a community survives.
