ABSTRACT

For the purpose of viewing the various types of thinking and expressions in the writing, this paper examines Gim DongRi’s Munyeodo on the general semantics’ view point. Because general semantics researches the relationship among human thinking, linguistics and behavior, it is the suitable methodology for studying the writing process. This study inquires into writer’s world view, types of thinking, and forms of linguistic expression. It leads to reveal the different characteristics between literary writings and other writings. The analysis shows us that two valued orientation, intensional orientation, facts and judgments are frequently used in Munyeodo. These promote the novel’s influential effects to the readers. Intensional orientation which is used for shaping shamanism and two valued orientation caused the conflicts among the characters of novel, which lead the tragic situation. And facts and judgments which are properly used in Munyeodo, affect the readers by coloring the poetic mood. On the basis of thinking methods and expression patterns in Munyeodo, this study tried to draw out the writer’s real world view and thinking process. This study could have a meaning because general semantics can be a useful tool for the literary writing analysis.
