형태소 표기 중심의 석독구결과 음성 표기 중심의 음독구결 = Morpheme-centered Seokdok Kugyol and Sound-centered Eumdok Kugyol

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, I examined the similarities and differences between the Kugyol Characters of Seokdok Kugyol and Eumdok Kugyol from a macroscopic perspective of the characteristics and usage of the writing system. The characteristics of Seokdok Kugyol Characters are as follows. First, except for some that are used to indicate final consonants, most of them are syllabic characters that indicate one syllable. It is hard to find Characters with initial consonants that are tense or aspirated, and there are no Characters that reflect phonemes such as ‘ㅿ’ or ‘ㆁ’ in Middle Korean. This is because these characteristics reflect the phonological features of Old Korean. Second, there are very few homonyms, and many of the few homonyms that exist, such as ‘[ri]’ and ‘[ri]’, indicate separate morphemes. Third, grammatical morphemes with various allomorphs, such as ‘[ʌn/ɨn/nʌn/nɨn/n]’, are indicated by one Character, and there are many Characters that indicate only specific morphemes, such as ‘[sʌp]’. Considering these points, Seokdok Kugyol Characters are basically sound characters with phonetic characteristics, but they can also be said to be very sensitive to morpheme notation. On the other hand, Eumdok Kugyol Characters differ from Seokdok Kugyol Characters in that, first, there are Characters that reflect the phonology of Middle Korean, such as ‘[zʌ]’, ‘[tʰa]’, ‘[ŋi]’. Second, there are many homonyms, such as ‘[hʌ.ta.ka]’, ‘[hʌ.ta.ka]’, ‘[hʌ.ta.ka]’. Third, the allomorphs of grammatical morphemes are actively indicated by using various Characters, such as ‘[zʌ.o]’ and ‘[zʌ.p]’ which are the allomorphs of ‘[sʌp]’. Fourth, unlike Seokdok Kugyol Characters, there are hardly any Characters that indicate only specific morphemes. Therefore, Eumdok Kugyol Characters hardly have any logographic features and can be said to be characters that focus on phonetic rather than morpheme notation.
