김영랑의 시 「모란이 피기까지는」의 음상적 특징 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to show that a rhythm is combination of meaning and form in Kim yeong-rang’s poem. When we consider the process of poetic diction's vocalization, sound feature is the key to determine rhythm that controls over poem’s meaning and tone. The previous discussions noted a foot for sense of stability while reciting a poem. That means harmonious auditory characteristic makes a poetic beauty, but the balance of sound is not everything in poem’s musicality. Sounds, basic elements of a subject in a poem, are designated in their own places not separating form and meaning. Especially, the harmony of sound is not the only way to create poetic esthetic in the modern poetry. Thus,previous theories have a limitation that cannot be to analyze the whole structure of a poem. Till the peonies bloom produces a rhythm through the placement of sonorant and obstruent. Sonorant makes a soft sound with positive vowel harmony. In contrast, Obstruent produces grave sound with passive vowel harmony. Poetic languages obtain sound images depending on sound characters. Similarly, every sound image is connected with other senses and meaning structure. For that reason, the poetic narrator’s dictions express his emotion. In Till the peonies bloom, both sonorant and obstruent comprising its structures interact each other. In last line, two sounds are mixed and combined with their sound images for realize main topic. In this poem, two different sounds make the narrator’s breath. Arrangement of sonorant shows the mellow stream, and that of obstruents display fast breathe. The gradual flow of aspiration is based on a lot of nasal and liquid sound in poetic diction. In contrast, rough curve is based on aspirated consonant, tense consonant which are belonged to obstruents. Two sound streams control the poem’s mood depending on sound frequency. Among these curves, first line and last line have a similar syntax. The Last one expands a meaning of first by removing the boundary of seasonal circulation, beauty and sadness. Poetic narrator gets a maturation of consciousness trough that meaning expansion. An echo symptom is originated in rhythm of verse. Not a simple repetition but producing difference, makes for the second articulation according to comprehension of poetic symbol. A result of this thesis is the new condition of rhythm. The two concentric circles create an aesthetic value depending on fusion of content and form. Sonorant's circle and obstruent’s circle make upsurge of sentiment and tension of breathing in this poem. Rhythm is not a perfect means of analyzing musical form in the poem. In process of poetic creation, sound image, sense, progression of meaning, and topic determinate placement of phonemes. So, rhythm is not an accent or a beat. Therefore, sound qualification which reflects meaning and structure is the new way of analyzing rhythm. That is the main thrust of this study.
