≪老乞大≫中 ＂매매＂상관적궤조사적변천

Abstract

In the course of the Chinese linguistic study, Nogŏldae had been used as a textbook for improving ancient Koryo (Korea) and Chosun people's Chinese speaking and hearing ability while having many changes made in the "phrase to phrase" comparison method in conformity with the changes of the times and linguistic pattern. It consisted of many different types of business settings imaginable in which Koryo (Chosun) merchants were seen to lodging, dining and making business in the proper conversation manner assuming that they were on a business trip to Beijing. Throughout having a comparison among the four different versions of the ancient woodblock-printed books called Nogŏldae, Beonyeok Nogŏldae, Nogŏldae Shinseok and Junggan Nogŏldae, it heavily focused on the analysis of a few words that related to the business transaction (Purchase and sale) in particular. With the abovementioned analysis, this paper is written to manifest the value of the Chinese language backed by the study of the Chinese language accompanied with the changes of the northern Chinese language which ranges from the end of the Yuan dynasty to the early age of the Ming dynasty and to the extent of the mid age of the Qing dynasty as a whole.
