현대시 운율의 이해와 교육 방법

Abstract

Every modern Poem has its own unique rhythm, which is not easy to understand and appreciate. Therefore in this thesis, I research this new and specialized aspect of the modern poem's rhythm as a transformation of traditional poems, I also suggest a method for teaching rhythm in modern poetry. One function of the rhythm of modern poems is phonetical. This phonetical function is related to that of traditional rhyme, and we can see the effect in the repetitions of special sounds. Modern poems are outstanding for the application of sound symbolism, which is related to mood and meaning. In modern poems, the repetitions of the ending of a word, which is similar to rhyme are related to a tone, and make a unified mood. The second function of modern poem's rhythm is syntactical. It is related to a pauses that are caused by the division of lines or stanzas. In each modern poem, unique meters are created that are distinguished from those of traditional poems. The meters of modern poems are determined by the meaning. The enjambment which appear in modern poems also has the unique function of strengthening meaning. Assuming a basic understanding of the rhythm of modern poems, I suggest a teaching method which focuses on the oral reading of poems. Reading aloud is the most effective method for feeling the rhythm of a poem. At first, students read a poem freely；Then the teacher helps the their understanding of tone, mood and the relation between rhythm and meaning by asking diverse questions. And then make read again, so feel the harmony of rhythm and meaning, and can express their feelings about the poem. The teaching about a modern poem's rhythm can not be divided from the process of explanation about their meaning. It is completed when the students understand the harmony of sound and meaning.
