This joint study deals with the issues surrounding the Korean language and literature in the 1910-1920s, more specifically during the early part of the Japanese Colonial Era. At a time when the country lost its sovereignty to Japan, Korean intellectuals continued to embrace Western ideas, culture, and institutions through Japan, while pursuing the advancement of Korean ideas and learning on their own. At that time, they took great interest in language (Korean language) and literature (Korean literature), and such a phenomenon can be one of their diverse responses to the Japanese occupation from both practical and academic perspectives. Thus, a study on Korean language & literature during this period should shed light on the interaction between Korea's internal or traditional factors and external factors driven by the West and Japan.
From this standpoint, this study deals with three subjects related to language as well as three subjects related to literature. On the side of language, it covers Ogura Shinpei's "A Study on Korean Language" focusing on the Korean dialects, the Japanese colonial government's language policy toward Korean people (i.e. "Hangul Orthography"), studies on Korean language by the Korean people, and the actual circumstances surrounding Korean language during the Japanese Colonial Era. On the side of literature, it covers the issue of modernity in "The Silence of Love" by Han, Yong-un, modern features found in newspaper novels, arrangement of Korean literature in Chinese classics-related materials, and the accomplishments of studies on Chinese classics.
