ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual condition and influence of geographic naming in Chinese character culture area by analyzing geographic naming that appears on the modern newspaper archives and the diplomatic documents of port opening era in 19th century, and examining matches for the titles of Chinese and Japanese in the western resources. This study attempts to provide basic data to clarify the influence relationship of geographic naming in Korea, China, and Japan by extracting nominated entries, building databases and applications, through a comprehensive comparative analysis of systems. Through this, although geographic naming in Korea has been influenced by China’ and Japan’ naming due to the proximity of the area and frequent cultural exchanges, around the 1880s, it was found that following the traditional Chinese origin naming, as the Japanese influence was increased, it gradually changed to accept the naming method used in Japan. In this study, the geographic naming of Korea was examined based on the individual data for the usage patterns and aspects that are changing in terms of vocabulary with the turning point of opening port to Japan from the influx of Western culture through China.
