ABSTRACT

This study investigates the nature of 'Hangeul Ganchal' otherwise called 'Eongan' (Hangeul letter) and thereby considers the utilization of it in fields such as Korean history, Korean educational history, dialectology, and sociolinguistics. An examination of existing studies and concerns in arranging basic materials utilizing Hangeul Ganchal is presented. Although earlier studies on Hangeul Ganchal focused on the value of Korean history during the 16c-19c, this study emphasizes the importance of compiling basic materials by suggesting that Hangeul Ganchal materials might be practically used in research. Although preliminary research on Hangeul Ganchal has been conducted, further investigation concerning interpretation is needed. This study attempts to synthesize annotated works from existing studies and to investigate the works considering the perspectives of Korean language history and language education. The evolutional process of Hangeul Ganchal is re-examined to clarify the nature of the materials further. The nature of Hangeul Ganchal materials after the liberation of the Korean peninsula is especially considered due to the introduction of standardization at this time.
