고려시대 구결 자료의 각필 ‘체크’ 부호 일고찰 = A Study of the Gakphil ‘Check’ Marks in Gugyeol Documents from the Goryeo Dynasty

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to examine the ‘∠’ and ‘∨’ marks among the Gakphil marks found in the Gugyeol documents from the Goryeo Dynasty. By analyzing all 26 examples of check marks used in Buddhist scriptures published in the Goryeo Dynasty, Volume 40 of on a text of 『Sabunyuljang』, Volume 2 of 『Geumgwangmyeong Choiseungwang -gyeong』, and Volume 7 of 『Myeobeop Yeonhwagyeong』, the following conclusions were drawn:
First, the ‘angle check’ mark used in Volume 40 of 『Sabunyuljang』 is a mark that ‘interprets the sentence in specialized Buddhist terms or comprehends the context before and after.’ Second, the ‘seal engraving check’ mark used in Volume 2 of 『Geumgwangmyeong Choiseungwang -gyeong』is a mark that ‘interprets the Chinese characters in the part with the check as specialized Buddhist terms’. Third, the ‘seal engraving check’ mark used in Volume 7 of 『Myobeop Yeonhwagyeong』is a mark that ‘simply cuts off the sentence’, unlike 『Sabunyuljang』ㆍ『Geumgwangmyeong Choiseungwanggyeong』. Fourth, the abundance of paragraph splits marked in the 『Myobop Yeonhwagyeong』is due to the characteristics of the original text of the scriptures, which do not have the content organization of the scriptures and the paragraph-level descriptive format.
