‘Joseon Language’ as the Subject of Discourse: Based on a Review of the 19th Century Romanization Norms
Abstract
This study traces the origin of the current back to the 19th century to engage in a discursive analysis of Romanization. Central to this discussion is the question of what the object of the discourse is, as discourse is not inherently given but is constructed through a particular perspective. This paper examines the context that led to the development of Romanization in the 19th century to identify the object of the Romanization discourse and the trajectory it followed. Furthermore, it investigates 19th-century texts that addressed Romanization issues to seek for the perception of the West in Joseon during that era. The shift in Western perceptions of Joseon led to the initiation of Korean language studies and the development of Romanization systems.
