"우리말샘" 어휘 역사 정보의 현황과 개선 방안

Abstract

The Urimalsaem contains the historical information of about 5,000 lexical items. They are based on the materials as a part of the 21st Century Sejong Project, which has constructed from 2002. The historical information in the Urimalsaem, however, have several issues. The information is provided only in modern entries and is especially careless about semantic changes. In giving examples, the modern and archaic entries are asymmetric and one can find hardly semantic differences from the examples. The information about related words is not well-constructed and there are not a few cases that the historical information is not described well due to the exclusion of Old Korean materials from the reference. In order to resolve these issues, it is necessary to collect the corpora of historical materials maximally and to fine them for high-quality data. Also the corpora of historical materials need to be open so that users of the Urimalsaem can search and correct errors from them, correct and supplement the historical informations of lexical items furthermore.
