ABSTRACT

The goal of this study is to cultivate the way to reasonably approach to the Korean poetic songs of the Goryeo Dynasty, focusing on two works, Gasiri and Ssangwhajeom 雙花店. We are likely to think that the text of Gasiri (Would you go back?) was made up with semantically incompatible elements. But I verified that the incompatibility resulted from misreading the words and that they and the chorus could be compatible in the text. In spite that we are able to find sufficient information to elucidate the specific context of Ssangwhajeom, we have not done so because of being seized by an unsubstantial assumption that most Korean songs of the Goryeo Dynasty were genetically folk songs. But I verified that it was made up by the courtiers who made contributions th the country in the period of King Chungryeol 忠烈王’s reign to become close to him but were being criticized by the noblemen of the time. Through making a application of the contextual study, I could cultivate a way of reasonable approach to the text and its specific context. I wish that the results of this study could be helpful to reflect our approaches to the Korean poetic songs of the Goryeo Dynasty, make up for the faults of our studies on them, and to investigate the artistic values of them.
