일제 식민지 시기 근대 학술 규범의 형성과 다양성 - 『진단학보』 논설 형태에 대한 정량적 분석 = The Formation and Diversity of Modern Academic Norms during the Japanese Colonial Period: A Quantitative Analysis of the Formal Aspects of Articles in Chin-Tan Hakpo

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Chin-Tan Hakpo is a representative academic journal published in Korea during the Japanese colonial period. In academia, this journal has been primarily evaluated as a center for positivist history. However, recent studies have pointed to the diversity in the composition of the Chin-Tan Society and the scholarly nature of Chin-Tan Hakpo. This study examines the existence and manifestation of this diversity by analyzing the articles in the journal from a formal perspective, using a quantitative method.
First, a digital corpus of 59 articles from Chin-Tan Hakpo was constructed in a database format, and six indicators were presented to identify diversity. These are: ‘chapter/section division,’ ‘article length,’ ‘data volume,’ ‘number of footnotes,’ ‘footnote length,’ and ‘average footnote length.’ Second, using these six indicators as features, the 59 articles were grouped into clusters of similar items. Eight clusters were obtained using the K-means method. Each cluster revealed distinct characteristics by reflecting the six features. Third, focusing on the larger and more distinct clusters, this study examined their relationship with major authors and the changes in their proportion over time. These clusters include the ‘concisefootnote academic article,’ the ‘detailed-footnote academic article,’ and the ‘concise contributed article.’ It appears that while various writing styles coexisted, these three types were representative of the writing styles of the period. Among them, the proportion of ‘detailed-footnote academic articles’ showed a significant increasing trend in the later period compared to the early period.
