Ju Si-gyeong ( December 22 , 1876 - July 27 , 1914 ) was one of the founders of modern Korea n Linguistics . He was born in Bongsan County (봉산군; 鳳山郡), Hwanghae Province. He and his students helped standardize the Korean Language , based Spelling and Grammar of the vernacular.

He studied the Chinese Language from his childhood. After studying modern Linguistics in Seoul , he established the Korean Language System Society (조선문동식회; 朝鮮文同式會) in 1896 . He hosted several seminars in the National Language Discussion Centre of the Sangdong Youth Academy (상동청년학원국어강습소; 尚洞青年學院國語講習所).

He proposed that the Korean Parts Of Speech include Noun s, Verb s, Adjective s, Adverb s, un Conjugation Adjective s (관형사; 冠形詞), Auxiliaries (조사; 助詞), Conjunction , Exclamation s, and Sentence-final Particle s (종지사; 終止詞).

In his 1914 publication, ''Sounds of the Language'', he promotes writing Hangul linearly rather than syllabically. This is one of his few proposals not to have been implemented, although there have been experiments with linear hangul, most notably in Primorsky Krai .

MISCELLANEOUS


Ju Si-gyeong coined the name '' Hangul '' (한글) between 1910 and 1913 to identify the Korean writing system, which had existed under several other names such as ''onmun'' (vernacular script) since the 15th century.

His name is sometimes written without the disambiguity hyphen: Ju Sigyeong and Chu Sigyong. In this case, they are often mispronounced as Sig-yeong and Sig-yong respectively.
