Abstract

Throughout analyzing and construing the words, contexts, and expressive languages used for depicting the pine tree in the novel "Honbul" written by Choi, Myung-Hee the symbolism of the pine and folksy languages used for scenery can be condensed as written below: First, it is explicit that the scenery-words for illustrating the pine tree in "Honbul" are emerged through diverse means methods and expressions. Namely, the reference forms of the pine tree and the expressive means of utilizing words portrays the use of the pine are various and subdivided. Second, the scenery-words found in vocabularies and the contexts of "Honbul" imply various symbolic representation. They not only perform to describe inherent image and symbolism of the pine, but they work for reifying the image of "Honbul" in the narrative structure in "Honbul" as being intrinsic scenery-word. Third, the scenery-words used for expressing aesthetics emerge as synesthetic expressions through the linear beauty and the texture of the pine as well as through five-senses. Forth, on the basis of the inherent symbolism and the image of the pine, the landscape of the background described in "Honbul" deems as a symbolic backdrop. As with then narrative structure of the novel, the pine tree performs as a mediation of the heaven and the earth, god and man, as well as the sacred and the secular. Fifth, scenery-words used for depicting the pine tree are a symbol that represents the spirit and emotion of the character in the novel. Moreover, it is a tool for pursuing the personification of the nature, the deification of the object, and the cosmos of the space. It is also utilized as a device that definitize the ideational image applied to express the landscape of the background of the novel. As mentioned above, the expressions, vocabularies and textures about pine tree represented from "Honbul" are expected to be the beginning of understanding the landscape-images and landscape-languages of pine in not only the setting for this novels, Namwon but also the entire districts of Korea.

최명희의 소설 "혼불" 속 소나무 표현 어휘와 문장, 문맥 등의 분석과 해석을 통해 소나무의 지칭어와 상징성 등의 토속적 경관언어를 조명한 본 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소설 "혼불" 속에 묘사된 소나무 관련 경관언어는 매우 다채롭고 다양한 방식과 표현을 통해 전개되고 있다. 특히 소나무 지칭어와 쓰임새에 대한 어휘 표현상의 다양성과 세분화된 양상이 읽혀진다. 둘째, 소설 "혼불" 속 경관언어는 다양한 상징을 보이는데 소나무가 갖는 고유 이미지와 통시적 상징성뿐 만 아니라 소설의 서사구조상 '혼불'이라는 상징 이미지를 구체적으로 구현시키기 위한 경관언어로서 자리매김 된다. 셋째, 소설 "혼불"에 묘사된 경관언어는 소나무의 선형미와 재질감 그리고 오감을 통한 공감각적 표현 등으로 심미성을 극대화하고 있다. 넷째, "혼불"에 나타난 배경지 경관은 소나무 고유의 상징성과 이미지를 토대로 소설의 서사구조상, 소나무가 하늘과 땅, 신과 인간 그리고 성과 속을 넘나드는 상징적 배경막이다. 다섯째, 소나무 관련 경관언어는 소설 속 인물의 정신과 정서를 대변하는 표상이며 자연의 인격화, 사물의 신격화 그리고 공간의 우주화를 추구하기 위한 장치이자 소설 배경지의 경관성과 의미망을 표현하는 표상적 이미지 또는 상징체로 활용되고 있다. 소설 "혼불"에 등장하는 소나무의 어휘 표현 및 상징성을 다룬 본 고는 소설의 배경무대는 물론 남원 소나무의 토속적 경관 이미지와 경관언어를 이해하는데 시금석이 될 것으로 기대한다.
