ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to examine diverse research conducted on the description and aim about the history of Korean linguistics in North Korea. It points out the historicity revealed in the textbooks of three kinds and the Series on Korean Linguistics(Jeonseo, 2005)' and Index dictionary on Linguistics(Saegin,2006) in North Korea, and discusses the issues that may be raised in regard to producing that textbooks and its description depended on the viewpoints of the history of Korean linguistics after concluding a ceasefire agreement Korea War(1953). With this background information, we first demonstrate the distribution of the researchers the late 1940s in North Korea and analyze their academic trends at that time. We then explain the history of Korean linguistics in North Korea, due to the construction and its consolidation of the description for nationalism. We note that there are differences in perception between the textbooks of three kinds,Kim Byeongje(1984), Kim Yeonghwang(1996) and An Gyeongsang(2005) in identifying the starting point of the history of Korean linguistics each other. We also note that there are differences in perception of the history of Korean linguistics between Series on Korean Linguistics(Jeonseo, 2005)' and Index dictionary on Linguistics(Saegin, 2006) in North Korea. Nevertheless, we point out that the priority should be given to the similarity of the history of Korean linguistics of the two countries in additions, due to its unification. We believe that our claim is a desirable consideration, particularly because our focus is on issues that can be achieved essentially based on the viewpoints of the history of unified Korean linguistics.
