신화는 어떻게 생겨나는가 = How is a myth generated?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, I would like to answer the question how a myth is generated. It was usually investigated from a historical and psychological perspective. As an alternative, this paper suggests a semiotic perspective. From this perspective, generation is a kind of semiotic event that can be described as semiosis, which happens in a certain interpretive context. I assume that a myth is a kind of sign, which means that it is a semiosis in which the dynamic process of signification happens.
In this paper, I will describe the semiosis of myth according to the scheme that I propose. In order to achieve this aim, I assume three worlds that are related to semiosis, that is, the mythic world, the possible world and the real world, and classify several types of semiosis that happen among these worlds. They show various ways how mythic codes in the mythic world are generated from several signs in the possible world. We can describe them only in a specific context, and therefore we can say that the generation of myth is a discursive event that happens sporadically and can be observed microscopically in a current situation.
