국어어원사전에 대한 사전학적 검토

Abstract

This purpose of this study is to compare and analyze Korean etymological dictionaries. As the popularization of knowledge and the growing interest in the etymology of the Korean people, it is important to provide appropriate etymological information. This study is to review the existing etymological dictionaries. In chapter 2, we examined the characteristic and range of the Korean etymological dictionary. The Korean etymology information can be characterized into three categories: first, etymological information that recurs the origin of words; second, lexical history information that includes the first appearance type of words, morphological and semantic changes, examples, and literatures; third, cultural history information includes folklore, terminology, history, political economic history. In Chapter 3, we analyzed the micro items of the exiting etymological dictionaries based on this view. Kang(2010) and Seo(2018) can be divided into etymological information and Kim(1997) and Kim(2015) can be divided into dictionaries focused on lexical history information. As a result of analyzing the existing etymological dictionary, few studies focused on cultural historical information. The cultural historical information should be included in the etymological dictionary and more actively collected and presented. It is also possible to construct a database in which vocabulary history information can be accumulated, and to build a system that can link with corpus or research results in other fields such as folklore, history, terminology, political economic history, religious history information of Korean vocabulary.
