한일 유행가의 선동을 나타내는 어휘의 고찰 ―1925년부터 1960년까지를 중심으로―

Abstract

his comparative study was conducted on connotational characteristics of vocabularies describing instigation in Korean and Japanese popular songs based upon political, social conditions and public atmosphere from 1925 to 1960. During the earlier part of such period, vocabularies describing instigation frequently appear in Japanese popular songs where senses of purpose are expressed through vocabularies such as 「戦い, 日本勝利, 団結, 自由, 誉, 東洋平和, 正義」 and senses of identity are expressed through vocabularies such as 「吾等, 同志, 民衆, 武士, 日本魂, 友, 君等, 団結, 仲間」, whereas vocabularies like 「夜, 圧制, 爆撃, 荒海, 弾圧」 are described as objectives to be overcome. In Korean popular songs, instigation for immigration to China through vocabularies such as 「만주, 살림, 나라, 역사」 appears. This indicates that policy for immigration to Manchu China was implemented at that time as a national policy. It appears, however, that Japan standing for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere tried to instigate Japanese people through such instigative popular songs, but it was difficult for such instigative popular songs to be popular in Japan and it was even more difficulty for such instigative popular songs to be popular in Korea. During the later part of such period, instigations in a sense of idealism and instigations in a sense of practicalism are conducted according to inner awakening of members of society in Japan, differently from the earlier part where instigations for victory in wars have mostly appeared. Instigations in a sense of practicalism are expressed informing people social movements through vocabularies such as 「労動者, 団結, 社会, 三池炭鉱, 工場, 仕事, 人民戦線, 人民, 解放, 汗, 学生, 闘い」 and social conflicts or political issues through vocabularies such as 「公明選挙, 沖縄, 原爆, ベトナム兵士」. Instigations in a sense of idealism are also expressed through vocabularies such as 「自由, 世界, 平和, 未来, 民族, 幸せ, 天国」. In Korea, instigations through vocabularies such as appear, however, they are not considered as instigations in a sense of practicalism but rather should be considered as instigations for active enjoyment by the youth of life.
