언간의 ‘ㅄ’계, ‘ㅂ’계 어두 합용병서 변화 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the changes in the ‘ps(ㅄ)’ and ‘p(ㅂ)’ series compound characters that appears in Korean letters in the Joseon dynasty and to study how they differ from that of the Block book. In Korean letters, among the ‘ps(ㅄ)’ series, ‘psk(ㅴ)’ was changed to ‘psk(ㅴ)>sk(ㅺ)/pk(ㅲ)>sk(ㅺ)’ in the early 17th century. ‘Pst(ㅵ)’ didn't not appear in the 16th century, but appears as ‘pt(ㅳ)’, and the change in ‘pt(ㅳ)>st(ㅼ)’ was began in the late 17th century and was completed in the early 18th century. ‘pj(ㅶ)’ maintained its form until the late 17th century. The change in ‘pj(ㅶ)>sj(ㅾ)’ was completed in the early 18th century. Through this, I judged that the tensification of ‘p(ㅂ)’ series began in the late 17th century and was completed in the early 18th century. The era of change in ‘ps(ㅄ)’ and ‘p(ㅂ)’ series showed a difference in Korean letters and Block books. In Korean letters, this change was completed in the early 18th century, and ‘p(ㅂ)’ series appeared until the 17th century. On the other hand, in Block book, ‘ps(ㅄ)’, ‘p(ㅂ)’ and ‘s(ㅅ)’ series were mixed and marked until the end of the 17th century, ‘ps(ㅄ)’ series appeared until the early 18th century, and ‘p(ㅂ)’ series compound characters appeared until the end of the 19th century.
