언어의 위계와 어법의 균열 -해방기~1960년대, 한국의 언어적 혼종상태와 문학자의 자의식

Abstract

This paper presents the situation in which substitution or coexistence of Japanese, Korean and English had occurred after liberation and the imagery of that situation. Hybridism and hierarchy of languages after liberation in the Korea Peninsula, the relationship between language and sovereignty in the aspect of building a nation state, and national identity and the sense of generation identity as a minority of postwar generation writers, would be discussed. Concretely, this study seeks the intention with which Yeom Sang Seop, Kim Dong In and Chae Man Sik embody the impossibility of communication by use of ‘interpretation’. And the logic, with which ‘the lack of language’ was modified to the excessive pride of ‘a cosmopolitan’,would be considered through the critical view of sense of identity of writers who wanted to designate postwar generation by literary criticism. In addition, this paper shows that in the fictions of postwar generataion writers like Son Chang Seop, Jang Yong Hak, Song Byeong Su and Seo Gi Won etc., Korean language struggle with the language of Empire and the universal language, and this linguistic condition represent political situation of the Korean Peninsula. The standardized ‘grammar’ and its ‘rupture’represented in the fictions and literary criticism of post liberation, has meaning in the aspect in which it makes the connection between language and sovereignty to be considered under the worldwide relationships.
