사자성어에 포함된 숫자 간의 상관관계 연구- 두 개의 숫자가 포함된 한중일 성어를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The three East Asian countries, Korea, China, and Japan, have had close relations through tangible and intangible asset exchanges since ancient times, and there are many similar elements in culture and language.Among them, Four Character Idiom are also one of the many language expressions that have been influenced by countries in the Chinese character culture.First, the Four Character Idiom of the three countries, Korea, China, and Japan were placed on one line, and the four Character idioms commonly shared by the three countries and the Four Character Idiom used uniquely by each country were classified and contrasted. Second, in order to examine the correlation between the numbers and the numbers contained in the Four Character Idiom, the range was limited to cases where two of the numbers from 'one' to 'ten' were included at the same time, and the number Four Character Idiom was expressed in two forms: 'NN identical' and 'NN different'. Finally, the meaning between the numbers appearing in each form of 'NN identical' and 'NN different' was closely analyzed. The numbers in the Four Character Idiom ranged from objective numerical meanings to abstract (subjective) meanings and even more hollowed out, and even between similar Four Character Idiom, one or both numbers were sometimes replaced differently, indicating ambiguity in numbers.
