高麗·朝鮮時期漢語教材《忠義直言》的研究現狀與討論

Abstract

First, regarding the study of “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan”(忠义直言) there are 14 articles on the grammar, 6 on versions, 2 on vocabulary, and 1 on education. It can be observed that currently, there is the most research on the grammar of “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan”, while research on vocabulary and education is still relatively insufficient. Second, before the discovery of “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan”, there was very little colloquial Chinese language data from the early Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the discovery of “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan” addresses the issue of insufficient linguistic materials in the diachronic study of Chinese grammar and vocabulary. Third, the written title “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan SHANG, ZHONG XIA”(忠义直言上中下) in “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan” was added by later generations during restoration. Fourth, according to the judgment of Wu Yong(吴庸), the author of “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan”，the composition time of this book can be estimated to be between 1370 and 1410. Fifth, the appearance of Classical Chinese grammar and vocabulary in “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan” is due to the residue from the process of translating from literary Chinese to spoken language. Sixth, “Zhong Yi Zhi Yan” is the closest to the spoken Mandarin of that time, serving as a unique educational material with functions in both Chinese language education and humanities education during the Goryeo and Joseon periods.
