ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to examine the South Korean and North Korean derivatives“-jeok”from morphological and semantic aspects, using the entries from the South Korean “Standard National Language Dictionary” and the North Korean “Korean Dictionary”as the subjects of research, to uncover their similarities and differences. Chapter 2 examines the part-of-speech classification of the South Korean and North Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’. It is found that the South Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’ have four classifications, which are [noun], [noun and adnominal], [noun and adverb], and [noun, adnominal, and adverb], depending on the context. In contrast, The North Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’ are generally classified as a noun, but in some cases, they are also recognized as adverbs. Chapter 3 examines the morphological composition of the South Korean and North Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’. It is observed that the antecedent elements of the South Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’ consist of Sino-Korean words and loanwords, with Sino-Korean words being the majority. Conversely, the antecedent elements of the North Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’ are almost entirely composed of Sino-Korean words, with only one hybrid word combining a native word and a Sino-Korean word. Chapter 4 examines the semantic features of the South Korean and North Korean derivatives ‘-jeok’. It is revealed that in terms of substantial classification, North Korea can combine a more diverse range of substantial nouns compared to South Korea. For substantial nouns, there are certain differences between the two, with a larger proportion of ordinary abstract nouns in South Korea and a larger proportion of event nouns in North Korea.
