Sang-sup Lee was a South Korean scholar of English literature,lexicographer,educationalist,and translator. He was a professor emeritus in the English Language and Literature Department at Yonsei University,who contributed to "establishing literary criticism as a systematic study of the humanities in South Korea" and implemented the concept of "corpus" in the South Korean dictionary compilation methodology. Also,Lee translated Western literary-critical terminology into appropriate Korean words,reflecting the tone and nuance of each language. For example,he rendered Viktor Shklovsky's concept of "defamiliarization" into a pure Korean expression—"낯설게하기" —without using Hanja or Chinese characters,which were often used to translate foreign literary critical terms. Given that Hanja has been incorporated into the Korean language since the Gojoseon period and is still routinely used in South Korea despite the creation of Hangeul,Lee's rejection of using it in his translation contributed to reviving the authentic national language of Korea.
