The Present Conditions and Tasks in Constructing the Database of Korean Literary Materials Centering on the Korean Poetry Corpus
Abstract
The significance of the compiling project of the database of Korean literary materials lies in supplying well-organized research materials and theory and principle of scientific literary study for related researchers, in enhancing the research capabilities of Korean literature, and in developing the Korean language. First of all, I will generally introduce how the database of Korean literary materials has been compiled and how the related study has been carried out. And then I will introduce in detail the compiling process and the principle underlying the database of modern Korean poetry, the project of modern poetry corpus that I am trying to construct, and also show the present contents of compilation and a plan for their future use. The database on modern poetry is as follows and only a part of it is served on the Internet: 1) The modern poetry corpus (10,300 poems) containing text information of modern poetry together with the metadata; 2) the dictionary of usage of modern poetic diction (610,000 items) showing the usage and information of the sources of modern poetic diction; 3) the explanatory dictionary of modern poetic diction (44,000 items) containing the whole word list of the dictionary of usage and explanations on important words; 4) the whole list of modern poetry anthologies (2,430 books) published in 1908-1970; 5) and the index of articles on modern poetry (17,500 articles) contained in the collections of poems published in 1923-1950. I hope that scientific study on modern poetry based on such a database will flourish. At present, the quantitative way of study on modern poetry is being made on a basic level, and one of the ultimate purposes will be to find the stylistic fingerprint of each individual poet. This database will be supplied to related researchers on condition that joint research be carried out.
