Abstract:

This book focuses on two types of Middle Korean words, i.e. native Koreanwords and Sino-Korean words.

The original text of this book is the Middle Korean translation of theThay-San-Cip-Yo (胎産集要), which was a medical book in the Joseon Dynasty.Dr. Yeong-Seop Park claims that medical books of those days providelinguists with materials important to a research of the Middle Koreanlanguage. This is based on the historical fact that in the Joseon Dynastymedical books written in classical Chinese were translated into one of thesimplest words in order to teach even ordinary people medical knowledge.Moreover, this book selects the following texts as supplementary researchmaterials: (1) an anthology Twu-Si-En-Hay (杜詩諺解) 'the Middle Koreantranslation of Po Twu (杜甫)'s poetry', (2) three Buddhist scriptures'Sek-Po-Sang-Cel (釋譜詳節)', 'the Middle Korean translation of theNung-Em-Kyeng (楞嚴經)', and 'the Middle Korean translation of theNam-Myeng-Chen-Kyey-Song (南明泉繼頌)', (3) three handbooks of Chinesecharacters for children, i.e. 'Hwun-Mong-Ca-Hoy (訓蒙字會)', 'Yu-Hap (類合)', and 'Chen-Ca-Mwun (千字文)'.

This book makes a comparative analysis on Middle Korean equivalents forChinese characters of the main text, i.e. 'the Middle Korean translation ofthe Thaysancipyo', and the other texts. This analysis shows the followingtwo results. One is how one Chinese character is translated into multipleMiddle Korean native words according to contexts. The other is thephenomenon of disappearance of Middle Korean words. This phenomenon rosefrom the competitive relationship between/among synonymous Middle Koreannative words or between/among synonymous Middle Korean native words andMiddle Sino-Korean words.
