1930년대 『한글』지에 실려 있는 전북지명자료의 표기 특징

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of transcription of Jeonbuk place names in Hangeul (1937–38), a magazine published in the 1930s. To assess the place names from a modern perspective, comparisons were made with The Dictionary of Korean Place Names(1981), and several on-site investigations were conducted. Next, this study analyzed the transcription of traditional place names of 274 Jeonbuk places. First, it examined the traditional place names in Hangeul(1937–38) and their corresponding Sino-Koreanized place names. Traditional borrowed character transcription methods, such as eumcha, huncha, eum/hunbyeongcha, and huneumcha, were used. Three types of correspondence were found between traditional place names and Sino-Koreanized place names, namely, full correspondence, partial correspondence, and non-correspondence. The relationship between traditional place names and Sino-Koreanized place names was analyzed to determine the accurate form and meaning of place names. Second, this paper identified and analyzed incorrect transcriptions of Jeonbuk place names in Hangeul (1937–38). The analysis was intended to not only enhance the accuracy of the form and meaning of place names, but also to prevent the distortion of information. Most incorrect transcriptions were due to similarities in character shapes. This paper examined the characteristics of Jeonbuk place names in Hangeul(1937–38), approaching it as a resource on the Korean language. The findings are expected to contribute to other research methodologies on Jeonbuk place names, and serve as a valuable reference in future naming and amendments.
