『譯語類解』 右音 ‘ㅗ’의 音價에 대한 再考

Abstract

The Korean pronunciation of diphthongs is relatively less developed than the Chinese pronunciation. When Koreans use Korean to mark Chinese pronunciation, there are many restrictions, and therefore, when using transliterations from other countries to analyse Chinese phonetic changes, we must fully analyse and understand the phonetic systems of those other countries. In this way the transliterations can be fully analysed. This paper analyses the range of right side pronunciations for ‘ㅗ’ in the Yeogeoyuhae, based on Chinese phonetic changes. The mark of frequent occurrence of transliteration ‘-ㅗ’ in the Chinese conversation book of the Joseon dynasty. Those who are familiar with the Korean language system will see ‘-ㅗ’ as a single vowel ‘-o’, however, in this paper, according to the results of our analysis, we use it as the tag object of right side pronunciation ‘ㅗ’ in the Yeogeoyuhae, which used both ‘-?(-o)’ and also ‘-uo(-u?)’ in transliteration. Based on our results, the pronunciation of the phonetic changes in ‘郭’·‘所’, made before the 17thcentury,isthenanalysed. If there is no understanding of the objects and contents of the transliteration system used in the Chinese conversational book of the Joseon dynasty, errors and misunderstandings will occur when analysing the Chinese phonetics. More careful research and analysis should be undertaken in terms of adopting a cautious approach to the transliteration system.
