개화기 한일 양국어 학습서의 특징 연구

Abstract

This study has been conducted based on Korean and Japanese study books for the Japanese language (includes co-authors of the Korean and Japanese). By studying the organization, composition, and content of said materials, the aim is to examine the aspects in which the grammar and systems of the Korean and Japanese languages took influences from each other at the time. By researching materials from the Korean Enlightenment, which took place from before until after the late-19th-century Gabo Reform, to the early 20th century and all the way up to the formation of modern Korean, the study focuses on the Korean grammar system and the aspects of Japanese grammar of the time and tries to decipher how the influence of Japanese grammar is reflected in the Korean language. By doing so, the study attempts to shed light on how the connection and contact between modern-age Korean and Japanese work today. The results of the study are as follow. First, through 『韓語入門』 and 『日韓善隣通話』, seems to have a tendency to emphasize grammar in Korean learning. This kind of tendency seems to have been brought about because of efforts to systemize Korean grammar through a combination of the Indo-European grammar system and Japanese grammar terminology. Secondly, 『日韓善隣通話』 does not correctly present the traditional Hangul alphabet system but instead presents Korean pronunciation using the Japanese ‘50音図’ method. In addition to this, the text has its own way of systemizing dialects and honorifics when introducing them in the text. Thirdly, as a study material of Japanese for Koreans, 『單語連語日話朝雋』 does not offer much from a grammatical aspect, but instead through the fundamental understanding of the Japanese language system it helps the reader to apply and realize the language through Korean. Similarities with the formality redundancy and spacing as well as use of appropriate translations and easy-to-understand expressions as in 『捷解新語』 are also worthy of note. Fourthly, 『實用韓語學』 can provide us with observations of different aspects from the early period of the establishment of modern Japanese and Korean grammar. It compares the first Korean study materials from 1880, and one can get the idea, however slight, that the transitional inclination that is reflected in the changes in Japanese grammar and writing style in 20 years was significant.
