Abstract

Referencing the Sino-Korean headwords in The Korean-Japanese Learning Dictionary digitally serviced by National Institute of the Korean Language and their Japanese equivalents, this paper compares and examines the lexical register of each language. It considers the vocabulary written in the same Chinese characters in Korean and Japanese to be the analysis object, that is, homomorphic words with semantically high homogeneity in them. The focus of the comparative review lies on the possibility of taking the Japanese equivalents simply driven by the same notation of Chinese character as that of Sino-Korean headwords without considering differences in semantics or synchronic status between the two languages. In order to confirm the lexical register difference of the Japanese equivalents, it presents an interesting contrast between the vocabulary table of the “Japanese Language Education Vocabulary Table ver 1.0” provided by Japanese Language Learning Dictionary Support Group in 2015 and “Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ)” by National Institute for Japanese Language. Through the methodology as such, it is confirmed that the Korean headwords and their Japanese equivalents in The Korean-Japanese Learning Dictionary as basic data for comparing Chinese character words between Korean and Japanese are, in fact, more than valuable.
