ABSTRACT

The liquor is used as various meanings in Sijo related with love. It is sometimes used as simple meanings such as ‘the way of taste for the arts’and ‘the way of consolation for the grief from love’, and sometimes used as complex meanings comparing ‘the meeting of lovers’ or ‘the various feelings from loving relationship’. The liquor shows different meanings according to the sex of the poetic narrator. The liquor mostly means ‘the way of taste for the arts’ when the poetic narrator is man. But it implies various metaphorical and symbolic meanings concerning love when the poetic narrator is woman. These various meanings implied in liquor can be hardly found in common works of Sijo in which the liquor is used as comparatively simple meanings. Through these discussions, we can know that the net of the meaning of liquor is enlarged in Sijo related with love.
