The Temperature of The Language Korean Essays

-Book Introduction

“Words and writings have their own temperature”

Speech and writing have their own temperature. There are different degrees of warmth and coolness. Moderately warm language embraces sadness. When tired of living in the world, some talk to friends to shake off their worries, while others read books and find comfort in the sentences the author gives them. Then, what is the temperature of our language when we pick up this book? If a precious person left your side because of a word you unintentionally said, wouldn't the 'word temperature' be too hot? If someone closed the door to their heart because of one or two sentences, it might be because the 'posting temperature' is too cold. perhaps.

Writer Lee Gi-joo is a person who enjoys eavesdropping and recording. He confesses that he develops a bad habit when he gets on a bus or subway. He listens to the conversations of ordinary people with his ears perked up. And when a fairly meaningful sentence seeps into my ears, I secretly take notes. It is because it seems that there is a desperate story in the words they casually exchange and the sentences they scribble. "Temperature of Language" is a book that closely captures the meaningful words and writings the author finds in everyday life, the etymology and origin of words, and the preciousness and urgency of such language. Every time you turn a page, you breathe into sentences and sentences, chewing them carefully as if eating moderately hot food, you may be able to look back on your own 'language temperature'.
