Abstract

The Purpose of this paper is to examine the male and female servants' native names in the census register of Daegu-Bu Dongsang-Myeon and to inquire out a notable feature of naming the servants. For this study, I extracted 12,970 native names in computerized census register data of Dongsang-Myeon and then analyse them by statistical methods. Statistical analysis on the names of the servants shows that the male servants' names have more type frequency than female servants' names (1,152: 957 types). The female servants' names are not diverse because 助是(it means a woman) is 41.3%. Morphological analysis on the names of servants shows that around 71.8% of all the male servant's names and 49.7% of all the female servants's names in this data are derivative words. The items of its roots and suffixes in high frequency is very limited. The roots, such as 乭(a stone), 莫(stop), 㗡(be late), 唜(stop), 介(a dog), etc. and the suffixes, such as 伊(a person), 金(iron), 男(a man), 女(a woman) are used frequently in the servants' names. Semantic analysis on the names of servants shows that the male servants' names and the female servants' names have common semantic classes, prayers for natural cessation of childbearing, domestic servants, instruments, animals, possessions, stones and rocks, somebody, outward appearances, etc. and tabooed words related to excrement, sexual organs are used only in the male servants' names. The analysis on the servants' names shows that the servants are regarded as a thing not a person.
