판소리에 반영된 불교어휘의 문화언어학적 연구

초록

This paper deals with Buddhist terms inside Pansori from the standpoint of cultural linguistics. In other words, this research investigates Buddhist terms and culture by examining practical language usages inside Pansori. Pansori is an ideal linguistic text providing grassroot culture and tradition. This is because Pansori contains various aspects of mundane life narrated in people’s ordinary language and vocabulary. Since Buddhism was an influential belief among grassroot people in traditional society, Buddhist terms are easily visible inside Pansori. On the base of subjects those Buddhist terms are divided into five main categories: Buddhist gods and deities, Buddhist texts and monks as well as ritual ornaments, temples and additional ritual buildings, symbolic cosmology and vies on life and death, rituals and poetic phrases of Buddhism. In particular, Buddhist terms for symbolic cosmology and views on life and death are most frequently used inside Pansori compared to the other categories of Buddhist terms. The second most frequent category of Buddhist terms is the category dealing with gods and deities. Terms used inside Pansori present actual language usages of grassroot people in both traditional and contemporary society. Hence, these various Buddhist terms inside Pansori can be regarded as new and important corpus resources for future linguistic researches
