지석영 『兒學編』(1908)의 漢語 韻母의 한글 표기와 漢語音

Abstract

This article was intended to examine the Korean alphabet notation used to describe the Chinese final system in Ahakphyeon(1908). It is also intended to examine the Chinese phonemes that can be found through this Korean alphabet notation. Specifically, it was intended to consider changes in Chinese based on Middle Chinese. So I tried to see how I could understand changes of final system in the Chinese language. As a result, Ahakphyeon faithfully reflects the changes in the Chinese language from Middle Chinese to Modern Chinese. There are many changes in the final system from Middle Chinese to Modern Chinese, for example the loss of the voiced and checked tone have led to a major change in the final system. The style of Korean alphabet notation in Ahakphyeon goes well with this kind of final system in Chinese language. In addition, individual unusual changes are faithfully reflected in the actual situation, faithfully reflecting the reality of the Chinese language. Among these unusual reflections is the fact that some southern dialects in Beijing have been affected by the influx or that they seem to reflect exchanges with southern dialects. In order to determine the cause of these, it is necessary to consider not only language but also human and physical exchanges between Joseon and China, and human and physical exchanges in the Chinese region. And through the Korean alphabet written on these labels, you can try to approach Korean phonics at that time. Typically, B in place to write /-yɛ/ even the same A is understood to be used to indicate monotonic /e/, but ‘ㅔ’ in place to write down what became /-ei, -uei/ differs from the one used to indicate downward double vowel /ie/. In addition, Korean writing, which was used to write down Chinese, can be used to try to approach Korean phonics at that time. Typically, ‘ㅔ’ in place to write /-yɛ/ is understood to be used to indicate monotonic /e/, but even the same ‘ㅔ’ in place to write down what became /-ei, -uei/ differs from the one used to indicate downward double vowel /ie/. And as shown in ‘簿버󰊲[並]’, the syllabic type “ㅓ” instead of “ㅗ” is an effective use of the fact that /ㅗ / and /ㅓ/ are at odds with each other due to the presence or absence of rounded in the Korean language. And ‘ㆍ’ is not actually being used for Korean alphabet notation according to changes of /ㆍ/>/ㅏ/. However, the use can only be seen in ‘柰󰊴’ and ‘百󰊳’, ‘ㆍ’ in these examples cannot be significant in that they are not distinguished /ㆍ/ from /ㅏ/. This style of Korean alphabet notation shows that they were conscious of the change in /ㆍ/>/ㅏ/.
