김소월 시의 리듬 연구 ― 소리–뜻(프로조디)을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper analyzed five representative poems by So–wal and focused on ‘a sound–meaning(prosody)’. Mostly his poems rated as one of traditional poems consists of 7.5 syllable rhythm. It means that the rhythm of So–wal’s poems contains not a fixed form of verse but the free verse. The rhythm of each and every poem consists of circles that having sense and meaning at the same time and there are the complicated system with more than two sounds. We will be able to get if we follow the following potential benefits to the General Convention of the rhythm theory proposed in this article. At first, the rhythm should be described by the semantic accent instead of the accent as a fixed measure. Since the utterance of the subject causes a differences of emphasis(more emphasized and less emphasis) according to the context of meaning. Second, it’s not a segmental phoneme but the complex phonological system with many levels that the unit consists of a ‘sound–meaning(prosody)’. It’s difficult for a single vowel or a single consonant to get a meaningful ‘sound–meaning’. Third, a poem contains two or more sound–meaning(prosody)s with different semantic features and the interaction between them mostly shows the rhythm of a whole poem. At last, the analysis of rhythm must be preceded by the semantic analysis. Because the conscious and unconscious repetition of a keyword in the poem brings sound–meaning(prosody).
