Abstract

This study is about the text of lyrics in the Seodojabga of Korean traditional music genre called Oral literature. Analyzing the text of the lyrics that form the backbone of the song and grasping its meaning will reveal the core of communication and present an important methodology for the expression of the musical background necessary to convey the meaning of the song. Accordingly, this study uncovers the textuality revealed in lyrics through textlinguistic analysis, focusing on coherence and cohesion that appear in the lyrics of the 'Baettaragi' of the Seodojabga artist who sang the joys and sorrows of the boatman's life among the traditional sounds of Pyeongan-do and Hwanghae-do. We tried to grasp in depth the functions of textuality other than musicality. As a result of this, it was first confirmed that the devices for the cohesion of the Text were very tightly connected, and in particular, the prominence of the parallel structure and the repeating ending was revealed. Also, as a result of analyzing the cohesion, it was confirmed that the vocabulary that expresses the contents are structurally described around nouns, adjectives, and verbs, and that they are connected to isotopy such as 'ship', 'voyage', etc. of the entire contents, and it was connected by the Structure of Theme-Rheme of Prager School. Thus, it was possible to grasp the possibility of the reconsideration of textuality of oral literature. and it was found that the functions and features of the cohesion and coherence were systematized. Furthermore, it was found that the cohesion and coherence were very elaborately structured in terms of the content of Korean oral literature.
