Abstract

This paper compared the plural place names of Yeongdong-gun, an inland region, and Taean-gun, a coastal region, according to their types and formation methods, and examined what differences and commonalities there are in the plural place names of inland and coastal regions. Therefore, among the commonalities, we would like to reveal what can be considered general characteristics of plural place names in Korean. Therefore, we sought to reveal what, among the commonalities, are the general characteristics of Korean plural place names. To achieve this purpose, we first compare plural place names by semantic area, and compare the quantitative ranking of the number of plural place names per point. In addition, by comparing the types of plural place names and word formation methods, we reveal what differences and commonalities there are between the two regions. The differences identified through the comparison of the distribution of multiple place names between the two regions are as follows. In comparison by semantic area, the plural place name of [island], which does not exist in Yeongdong and reflects the characteristics of the coastal area, was the second most common in Taean after [village]. And compared to Yeongdong, the creation of plural place names was much more active in Taean. By comparing the distribution of plural place names between the two regions, we were able to find out the following general facts about Korean place names. The first is that plural place names are most widely distributed in the semantic area [village]. Second, the fact is that in most cases there are two plural place names at one location. Thirdly, the majority of plural place names were based on Chinese characters for proper place names.
