濟州島 俗談의 表現 = THE EXPRESSION OF FROVERBS IN CHEJU-DO

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The expression of Korean proverbs were not different from the forms, but the former was treated as a morpheme concerned with the latter.In this study I treated the expression and form of proverbs seperately from each other, and encouraged that the intention of proverbs would be increased by literary expressions as well as forms. Especially, I made a survey of the rhetoric, metrical scheme and comicality of 550 Cheju-do proverbs. The result of survey is as follows:
1. RHETORIC ; all of the proverbs could be accounted for by means of 10 rhetorics. The proverbs were written in the order of epigram, indirect suggestion, metaphor, contrast, parallelism, hyperbole, simile exhortation, paradox and gradation.
2. METRICAL SCHEME ; as the expression of proverbs is similar to that of poetry, Korean songs and lyrics can now accommodate only absolute pitchs and musical charactders, not rhyme appointed as disappropriate to Korean peotry. 3-4 syllable meter, 4-4 syllable meter, and 7-5 syllable meter, which is considered as traditional rhythem of Korean poetry, cover most of the proverbs in distribution. It means that there exists a close relationship between proverbs and poetry.
Musical characters are various from 1-notation to 17-notation, and the usage rate appeared in the order of 4-notation, 2-notation, 3-notation and etc. From this, it is estimated that the old poetry had changed into 4-notation while they came down to Korea dynasty.
3. COMICALITY ; the application of a sarcasm, humor, wit, irony called subjective comicality to proverbs makes persons realize that proverbs are a aliterary experssion. Even though the sarcasm is less exciting, it enlighten perosns on their social position and wisdom. Humor criticizes comically discordance between persons' words and actions on the basis of crude and local temper. Irony has a phylosophy, the arts of life through abandonment, resistance, self-conquest, self-scorn and self-complaint. Wit acts as the gateway to represent human affairs, because normal mentality is experssed through abnoram mentality and the reverse is applicable.
As shown above, the expression of proverbs is similar to that of literary works. Consequently, even if it is fragmentary, this leads to a renewed appreciation of the literary character of proverbs.
