This study analyzed the language of Haenyeo in Wando-gun lexically, grammatically, and phonologically. In the case of the vocabulary related to the name of the Haenyeo, their work style, and their work tool in Wando-gun, it was similar to the vocabulary used under the influence of the Jeju Haenyeo, but the Jeonnam dialect vocabulary was also used. Regarding the act, Wando’s native Haenyeo used ‘hwipalam, hukkesoli’, and Wando’s settlement Haenyeo used ‘hombes-soli, sonbi-soli, sunbi-soli’, so there was a difference between the two. The particles and connective ending in the language of Haenyeo in Wando-gun coexisted with both Jeonnam dialectal forms and standard language. However, The standard language was used more frequently. Glide was similar to Jeonnam dialect or Jeju dialect. The w-glide formation was coexisting in two forms, but the form in which w-glide formation occurred was more common. The y-glide formation was coexisting in two forms, but the ‘i+eo→yeo’ type is likely to be more common after glide formation. These linguistic characteristics of Wando-gun Haenyeo seem to have been influenced by various factors, including broadcasting media, keeping a distance from local residents, collection methods such as traditional methods and scuba diving, and increased income.

The purpose of this study is to examine the phonological phenomena shown in Baek Seok's literary works. Baek Seok(1912~1996) who was born in Ikseong-dong, Galsan-myeon, Jeongju-gun of Pyeonganbuk-do in 1912, graduated from Osan Primary School and Osan High School. After going through the writing practice period, he made his debut as a writer by winning the prize in the Chosun Ilbo New-Year Literary Contest in 1930. After graduating from the Dept. of English in Cheongsan School of Tokyo, he started working as a proofreading reporter of Chosun Ilbo from the following year(1935). For about three years from 1936, he worked as a teacher of Yeongsaeng High School of Hamheung. After the liberation, he moved from his hometown Jeongju to Yanggang-do near Amnok River. Before he passed away in 1996, he cultivated literary people there. Baek Seok published his poetical works Deer in 1936. By following Irish novelist James Augustine Aloysius Joyce who aimed to protect his mother tongue under the British colonization, he utilized proper nouns and sensory words using Pyeongan-do dialect. Except for several native words, the initial law and palatalization were not mostly applied. While the front-vowelization was rarely applied, the high-vowelization was realized into ‘ㅗ > ㅜ’ and ‘ㅓ> ㅡ’, and the umlaut was realized into ‘ㅏ>ㅐ’ and ‘ㅓ>ㅔ’. In most cases, the vowel harmony was not followed while there was the vowel addition for the formation of rules. Such phonological phenomena not only show the characteristics of Jeongju dialect of Pyeonganbuk-do, but also show the renovated form according to the progressive assimilation of each dialect area.

In this paper, we attempted to review the problem of classification of Korean converbal endings and suggest syntactic classification criteria. This paper covered the following: Previous problems in classifying converbal endings, variables and criteria for classifying converbal endings based on hierarchical syntactic structure, new directions that can be proposed, etc. The criteria of relational meaning, modification object, and conjunction that were mainly used so far had various problems. To compensate for this, we went back to the original syntactic structure and looked at the variables to be considered. Then, the syntactic classification criteria for converbal endings were summarized. This criteria was prepared by distinguishing the external structure from the internal structure, starting from complementizer, which is an converbal ending. And it was considered necessary to pay attention to the inflection that preceded the complementizer. And the possibility of applying these criteria was also explored.
