Contact linguistics takes the series of linguistic phenomena in the process of language contact as the research content, and explores the changes of the languages and their results. When language contact occurs between Chinese and Korean, the linguistic phenomena occurring in the aspects of phonology, syntax, vocabulary, and characters are one of the important results. Sino-Korean Rhyme Dictionaries are language tools that are mainly arranged by rhyme. Such dictionaries annotate the pronunciation of Chinese characters, correcting the incorrect pronunciation of Chinese characters in Korea, and occasionally interpreting the meaning, and recording some glyphs of variants, which provide the convenience for extracting poems and lyrics, as well as reciting rhyming characters. From the perspective of the developmental history of Chinese dictionaries in Korea, rhyming books are the beginning of Chinese dictionaries in Korea, which have abundant content and significant value, and are indispensable and valuable materials for the study of Chinese-Korean contact linguistics.

본 연구는 19세기 후반과 20세기 초반에 한국에서 활동한 외국인 선교사들이 편찬한 5종의 영한 사전에 나타난 질병명을 분석한다. 이 근대이중어사전들의 질병명은 서구 과학 지식이 동아시아로 급속히 유입되면서 한국에서 새로운 의학 용어의 필요성 을 반영한다. 질병명의 정확한 번역은 공중 보건에 중요했으며, 당시의 의학 지식과 인식 을 반영하기 때문이었다. 본 연구는 5개 근대영한사전을 개요하고 46개의 질병어를 선택 한 기준을 기술했다. 또한, 전염병 관련 질병명이 다수를 차지하는 이유를 당시의 정부의 전염병 예방 규칙 과 관련하여 살펴보았다. 또한 1925년 사전에 새로 추가된 용어, 과거 와 현재 질병명의 공존을 조사한다. 아울러, 고유어 번역, 1925년 사전과 현대 사전 간의 번역 연속성, 현대에서 음역된 질병명 등의 분석을 통해 문화적, 사회적 맥락을 탐구한 다. 이 연구는 한중일 질병명의 역사적 변천과 상호 교류를 근대이중어사전을 통해 제시 하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the language and culture of infectious diseases in Korean society through related expressions. Accordingly, four kinds of Korean dictionaries were investigated, and the results were examined by dividing relevant expressions into epidemic-related vocabularies and infectious disease-related case statements. First, examination of epidemic-related vocabulary found that most names of infectious diseases were expressed using Chinese characters and English loanwords. Since each infectious disease name has several synonyms, Koreans have referred to major infectious diseases by a variety of names. The names of infectious diseases were mainly reflect such information as the causes, routes of transmission, and symptoms of infection, as well as attitudes toward how to deal with the diseases. Second, the examination of case statements related to infectious diseases showed that the disease with the most example sentences was COVID-19, which recently started and has not yet ended. Case statements related to infectious diseases can be broadly divided into four categories: the designation of infectious diseases, fear of infectious diseases, patients with infectious diseases, and places of infection. In addition, we found we found that patients with infectious diseases and places of infection generated negative perceptions and expressions.

Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country with many cultures, languages, and forms of texts that coexist independently and interactively. Among the Vietnamese ethnic minorities is the Tay, the most primarily populated one. Before the use of the Latinized script, the Tay people used to use Nom which is made up of the graphic, phonetic and semantic elements of Han characters. Currently, the cultural source of the Tay is one of the most precious cultural heritages of Vietnam. If we want to decode, research, explore and promote the values of this heritage, it is impossible not to have a good set of reference books, which are Nom-Tay (word-based and character-based) dictionaries. It is undeniable that the compilation of Tay-language dictionaries and texts has attracted interest, and been in implementation for about half a century, thanks especially to the government, research institutions, and generations of Vietnamese scholars. However, the achievements have not met the needs and utilization potential of the explored materials. With the extremely abundant resources of ancient Nom-Tay texts, with the proper attention and investment of the state and investment funds, and with researchers’ enthusiasm, the compilation of the Nom-Tay (word-based and character-based) dictionaries will, to be sure, attain remarkable achievements.

Chinese traditional dictionaries are often named after “文”, “ 字” or “dictionary” such as Shuowenjiezi, Zihui, Kangxi Dictionary, etc. The dictionary named Yupian began with Guyewang in the Liang Dynasty. It has its own cultural meaning to use jades comparing to characters. This paper analyzes the reasons for the naming of dictionaries in their own history. And the particularity of Yupian’s naming by examining the taking of such treasure as ‘yu’, a metaphor of Chinese characters. From this rhetorical perspective, it can also be seen that the things named ‘jade’ have their characteristics as well. According to the records of ‘jade’ in classical literature and its influence on people’s ideology in ancient cultural life, it is, in fact, found that the meaning of ‘jade’ has gradually developed and spread. Its metaphorical meaning has also extended to various fields in the same fashion. From the standpoint of the relation between jades and Chinese characters, and that between language and culture, this paper will explore the origin of the naming of Yupian as a dictionary and its influence on the naming of Japanese and Korean dictionaries.

Paying critical attention to the concept of ‘transportation’ and ‘circulation’, this essay examines the collection status of vocabulary in bilingual dictionaries of various languages in early-modern East Asia. By doing so, it follows the trajectory of translingual practice, and clarifies a part of the transition of modern East Asian civilization. The research method in this study is as follows. First, it confirms the concepts of ‘交通 (kotsu, kyothong)’ and ‘流通 (ryutsu, yuthong)’ by defining a monolingual dictionary in Japanese and Korean. Next, it selects words representing each concept after investigating the translation (English) of a modern Japanese-English dictionary and Korean-English dictionary. The translated words corresponding to those representing the concepts are extracted from some major early-modern bilingual dictionaries of Japanese and Korean. It, then, analyzes the aspect of changes from the late 19th century to the early 20th century by looking into the translations of those extracted (Japanese and Korean). Based on the above-mentioned research and analysis, it reveals significant developmental characteristics in translating the concept of ‘transportation’ and ‘circulation’ in East Asia.

Reflecting some significant differences in the dictionaries on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait through the process of distinguishing and analyzing common four-character idioms, this study mainly discusses the heteromorphic phenomenon of the idioms. The research method is to conduct research on the corpus of ancient and modern materials to understand ancient and modern usage of similar idioms. This study lists out eight groups of common idiom variants as examples. It intends to explore the reasons for the formation of individual vocabulary from the perspective of literary theory supplemented by the data content of the classical literature database and modern corpus to show the ancient documents and the modern people’s language use habit. At the same time, it compares similarities and differences between Taiwan’s Mandarin Dictionary (Revised Edition) and the Chinese Dictionary in Mainland China, comparing once again different aspects of the dictionary compilation and basic language education. It also shows the difference between both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the aspects of idiom variants included in dictionaries and the principle of word inclusion in them.

Few dictionary studies have examined the effectiveness of freely available online dictionaries (FAOD) offered by search engine companies. This experimental study examines the effectiveness of one FAOD, Naver.com, as an aid to vocabulary acquisition for a group of 87 intermediate-level Korean university students aged 19 to 28 (mean 21.9). The VKS and two multiple choice tests administered after a written recall task, and again one month later, measured vocabulary acquisition. MANOVA using treatment type (Online, Gloss, or Control) as the independent variable and test results as the dependent variables compared vocabulary acquisition. A second line of inquiry examined effects of topical familiarity on vocabulary acquisition. Findings suggest that FAODs are equally effective as a written gloss, and that both significantly outperform using context clues. Evidence is presented that unfamiliar topics may lead to slightly better vocabulary gains over reading familiar topics. Ways these findings can assist learners and teachers are discussed.

As the most commonly used Chinese character dictionary in Korea, Korea's the Chinese-Korean Dictionary was originally revised from the Large Chinese-Korean Dictionary(1964) and retained Chinese characters from ancient times to around 1950. Since the initial edition of 1973, the dictionary has been reprinted several times and has not been revised. In view of the deletion of some worthwhile Chinese characters in the Chinese-Korean Dictionary on the basis of the Large Chinese-Korean Dictionary, or the inappropriate deletion of some entries, and the many imperfections in the compilation style, such as the lack of illustrations, Chinese phonetic notes and Chinese annotations, etc., this paper holds that the Chinese-Korean Dictionary should be revised and properly included and deleted. In addition to the valuable Chinese characters, and improve the compilation style, so that it is more detailed, more convenient for readers to use. At the same time, in order to overcome the limitations of paper dictionary, expand its capacity, update entries in time, and make it easy for readers to carry, it is necessary to launch the Internet dictionary of the Chinese-Korean Dictionary.

In this paper, the author studied dictionaries that was named as Yupian in the Joseon Dynasty and modern times. and also studied the versions and characteristics of these dictionaries. The results show that the Chinese dictionaries in Korean development process from early to mature stage.

Korean dictionary Compilation by Chinese influence, the corresponding terms used in the case of Korea dictionary is worthy of further study. This article focuses on the Korean dictionary usage chirography terms, reflecting the distinctive features of the Korean dictionary compiled：Interpretation of the word selection emphasis on practicality；Annotation more scientific；Using the new term.

본 문헌목록 (bibliography)은 중국학(sinology) 연구자라면 반드시 갖추어야 하고 가장 빈번하게 사용하는 기본 공구서인 사전(dictionary)을 선정하여 필요에 따라 해제를 가한 것이다. 최근 수십 년 동안 수많은 종류의 중국어 사전이 출판되어 있으나, 중국학의 다양한 연구 분야에 필요한 사전을 모두 소개하기는 불가능하다 할 것이다. 이에, 본고에서는 중국어문학 분야를 중심으로 그에 필요한 중중사전 및 중영사전을 위주로 선정하되, 중국학 연구의 전반에 걸쳐서 가장 유용하게 사용될 뿐만 아니라, 가장 종합적이며 전문화된 사전을 선정하여 수록하였다. 먼저, 종합적이고 광범위한 사전목록서목(Dictionary Bibliographies)을 선정 나열하였다. 그 다음으로, 전통 사전류를 배치한 후, 백과사전, 중중사전, 중-외국어 사전, 음운사전, 허사사전, 문학사전, 신화전설사전 및 관직사전 등의 순서로 선정하였다. 국내 사전을 중심으로 선정되지 않은 점이 있으나, 중국학을 연구하는데 필요한 참고문헌목록(reference)으로서 학술정보를 열람하고 확인하는데 편리한 도움을 제공하고, 학문적 데이터베이스(database)의 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

We make up meanings of three characters "shi"、"wen" and "di" by the help of the abroad meanings and the usages in ancient literature corpus. It’s a good way to explore the meanings of Chinese characters by the usage being corroborated in domestic literature and abroad corpus.

破讀即別義異讀，屬於一字多音多義現象。一般來說，我們要通過翻查字典，了解某字有沒有破讀的情況，方能準確掌握這個字的形、音、義等資料。不過，觀乎香港通行常用字典對破讀字的處理，卻存在不少差異。本文以《粵音韻彙》、《中華新字典》、《李氏中文字典》、《常用字廣州話讀音表》、《商務新字典》、《粵音正讀字彙》、《廣州話正音字典》等香港通行常用字典為例，選取並剖析一些涉及破讀問題的字例，藉以探討這些字典對破讀字的處理準則。

Dictionaries are thought to be accurate and objective. In school, teachers often encourage learners to check up a Chinese dictionary to learn Han characters and their meanings. Unfortunately, dictionaries may not be as reliable as many of us expect. Not all Chinese dictionaries can provide consistent, unitary, neutral and universal definitions that stand outside of religion, politics, social changes, popular culture, etc. This is particularly obvious when it comes to Chinese words or/and terms that have been ‘hijacked’ by political propagandists. To illustrate our argument, in the poster, we collect and examine various word explanations and exemplary sentences of the Chinese term “解放” (Liberation) from several commonly used English-Chinese dictionaries. Comparisons are drawn between (1) printed and online English-Chinese dictionaries; (2) old and new English-Chinese dictionaries, and (3) English-Chinese dictionaries published in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan. As predicted, the Chinese term “解放” (Liberation) is interpreted and shaped differently, if not contradictorily across different dictionaries. The shifts in meaning are found to be most noticeable in the comparisons of dictionaries written and published in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan. We believe that such shifts in meaning suggest not only cultural diversity, but also manipulations of Han characters and Chinese vocabulary. Despite the small scale of the comparative study, our research results reflect that dictionaries can be utilized as a tool for ideological purposes. It is strongly recommended that teachers and learners of Han characters use at least two dictionaries as reference, so that they can be more aware of hidden ideology, stereotypes, and cultural differences among different Chinese-speaking societies, which are crucial in understanding the culture and historical background while learning the language. Learning the language, after all, is a way to shed light on understanding cultures and the way of thinking behind the text.

The purpose of the current study was bi-fold. First it was to examine how the semantic prosody of eight lexical items that had a specific semantic prosody were presented and explained in the six English-Korean bilingual dictionaries. In addition, it was to investigate how those lexical items were used in university students’ sentence writings in relation to semantic prosody. The result showed that the semantic prosodies of the lexical items were not adequately presented in the dictionaries in general and a number of inappropriate uses of lexical items in relation to semantic prosody were identified in the students’ sentence writings. It was suggested that EFL dictionary publishers should explicitly address the issue of semantic prosody by providing information about the semantic preference and collocational behavior of a lexical item and they should be more cautious when presenting Korean translations/equivalents in the dictionaries. Along the same lines, it was also suggested that EFL/ESL teachers should (a) recognize the value of semantic prosody in L2 communication; (b) avoid the vocabulary teaching practice of explaining the meaning of words by simply providing near synonyms; and (c) make the students more aware of the difference in semantic prosody between English lexical items and their Korean translations/equivalents.

In this paper, we choose the geographical vocabularies from Xunmeng Zihui which is the earliest educational dictionary in Korea, finding out the corresponding vocabularies in the Original Yupian, and compare those vocabularies from their characters and meanings and some other aspects. We point out that the vocabularies in Xunmeng Zihui have a close relationship with the corresponding vocabularies in Original Yupian, as well as the other Ancient Chinese Dictionaries. At the same time, we discuss the characteristics of the educational vocabularies in the 16th century in Korea, such as most of them are basic vocabularies, the characters are mainly simplified ones and the meaning are popular at the time.

The purpose of this study is to examine the roles which English dictionaries play in learners" production activity and to raise awareness about the necessity for more explicit guidance for English learners who wish to use English dictionaries to enhance their accuracy in production and vocabulary knowledge. For this purpose, first of all, the notion of knowing a word or a set of lexical items, along with the problems that learners possibly encounter when they attempt to encode their messages are reviewed with previous studies. Second, it illustrates the elements and characteristics of information which typical English learners" dictionaries provide for users in the light of difficulties involved in production activity. Third, this study analyzes the content and structure of current major encoding dictionaries of different types and purposes, assessing their distinguishing features and complementary advantages. It is hoped that the findings of this study develop the dictionary awareness among English learners and educators in Korea.
