초록

This article is my first step to illuminate the impact and the
consequences, which Mongol had brought in to the Northeast Asian
society in the early 13th century, by the eyes of Koryo dynasty.
The sociolinguistic claim that address terms are chosen by
the speakers in accordance with the solidarity and the power
relations between the speaker and the addressees inspired me to
focus on the address terms which Koryo carefully choose in its
letters to the Mongol court in 1231-1232. Koryo selected “the
Emperor(皇帝),” “His Majesty((皇帝)陛下)” to designate the Mongol
emperor, “the dominant court(上朝),” “the magnificent state(大邦),”
or “(our) great state((我)大國)” to the Mongol court and/or the
dynasty. The self-addressing terms of the Koryo king and his court
are also worth noting. The king addressed himself as a “vassal(臣)”
while calling his own court “my humble land(弊邑),” “the
subordinate state(下國),” “the minor state(小國),” “my fief(我國).”
This wording shows that Koryo quickly admitted Mongol’s superior
military power and cleverly complied with the shifting ‘world order’
under the Mongol emperor. However, interestingly enough, the
Koryo king happened to call his own court “the dominant court” in
the letter to the Mongol emperor; or, the king indicated the Mongol
dynasty with “your esteemed state(貴國),” a term used among the
dialogue participants sharing rather equal status, instead of the most
honorific terms presented above. These examples were not
typographic errors; rather, the Koryo’s diverse address terms for the
Mongols reveal how Koryo perceived Mongol. I tried to trace the
Koryo’s actual ‘mind-set’ towards Mongol by comparing the address
terms for the Mongols with ones for other members of Northeast
Asian society － the Jurchen Jin(金), the East Jin(東眞), the Khitan
Liao(遼).
