본 연구의 목적은 한문에서 관습적으로 쓰이고 있는 한문의 慣用語句(常用語句)에 대한 표현과 용법에 관한 고찰이다. 본고는 한문의 관용어구를 ‘부정의 의미를 나타내는 문장’, ‘비교의 의미를 나타내는 문장’, ‘서술어와 목적어, 보어 도치의 문장’을 중심으로 관용적으로 표현되는 어구에 대한 풀이와 구조원리를 정리·제시하였다. 본 연구는 한문의 어휘뭉치(collocation)에 관한 연구로 항상 어울리는 단어끼리 조합하여 어떤 특정한 의미를 나타내는 한문의 상용적 표현인 관용어구를 추출 하여 그 원리와 의미에 대한 분석내용을 제시한 것이다. 이는 한문 독해에 있어서 무의미한 虛詞로 인한 독해의 난해성을 용이하게 풀이할 수 있는 근거가 될 수 있으며, 漢文讀解 교수·학습방법 이나 한문독해 관련 학습서 또는 참고서 제작에 직접 활용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 향후 교육과정 개편 및 교과서 편찬 등에서도 참고할 수 있을 것이다.
