ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to divide Kim Yujung's novels into rural novels and urban novels and to understand the characteristics of each series in contrast. For this purpose, the vocabulary of the novel was analyzed using quantitative linguistic research methods. In this study, discussions were conducted through comparison of the frequency of common nouns that appear in each series, comparison of meaningfulness for each work, and comparison between series through analysis of the co-occurring words. As a result, through frequency analysis of vocabulary, we were able to capture ‘mountain’ and ‘room’, which reveal the spatial characteristics of rural areas and cities. And through the comparison of meaningful words, it was possible to understand that meaningful words that reveal the characteristics of the series appear more prominently in rural novels than in urban novels. In the case of urban novels, many vocabulary related to the character's occupation appeared rather than to the urban background or matter. Some of these characteristics were also revealed through analysis of the co-occurring words. As a result, this study was able to specify the characteristics of each series of Kim Yu-jeong's novels more quantitatively, thereby concretizing the understanding of the works that had been dependent on the perspectives of individual researchers.
