찬송가의 번역과 근대 초기 시가의 변화

Abstract

Koreans in the Early-Modern Period encountered the western Christian culture with the desire for enlightenment of their civilization. (had met the text, the Bible and Hymns. Past studies on the translation of the Bible and hymns have focused on the influences of the Christian culture on developing Han-Geul. However, it was more sophisticated to translate hymns into the Korean Language compared to translation of the Bible; the translation of hymns not only considered word-to-word or sentence-to-sentence translation but also needed to include the rhythm from music. Throughout the history of the Korean poet, there have been a few types of fixed metrics such as Shi-Jo and Ka-Sa that were popular with the public. But after the hymns were translated, new types of free meter emerged from the Korean language. This article examines the changes in the metrics of the traditional Korean poet and the variations that emerged during the translation of the hymns: the changesfrom the old metrics to the more musical modes of the hymns. The focus is how the traditional tetra-metrics changed to syllabic metricschanges that were the result of misunderstanding and neglect on the tradition of the Korean poet.
