The purpose of this paper is to observe the inclination of Korean linguistics by analysing dissertations that were published in Hanmal-yeongu(from first number to 39th number) and to examine the identity and directing point of Hanmal-yeongu. Hanmal-yeongu initially aimed at Korean linguistics expert journals. However, it extended territory up to Korean Language Education, Korean educational linguistics, and writing in the process of expanding its denotation. That was coincident with the fact that Korean linguistics gradually broadened research area to application field. In the process of expanding, it somewhat suffered an identity crisis as pure Korean linguistics journals. The directing point of Hanmal-yeongu has never been formalized until now. We can just guess it from the background of academic activity and the inclination of key members. And it would be necessary to clarify the directing point of academic journal in order to clearly distinguish from other comprehensive Korean linguistics journal.
