ABSTRACT

The methodology of literature and linguistics is obviously different because its original purpose of research cannot be same. That is, main concerns of literature focus on creating texts or criticizing literature works, but the main purpose of linguistics is related to analyse linguistic phenomenon. Sometimes, however some of the methodology of linguistics can be applied to literature research because linguistics and literature can be overlapped to concerned to language itself. In this paper we introduced to quantitative approach to analyze and to compare novel texts during before and after 1934, in which KAPF is dismissed. So far Korean novels in this period can be estimated that trends are changed from critical realism to non-critical realism generally. Because most of research related to this argument are based on researchers' intuition or social background, however actual, authentic usage of words can be ignored or underestimated. We will expect that to analyse Korean novels using quantitative approach can show interesting results which cannot be captured by introspective criticism.
