AB - This study analyzed the vocabulary of Haenyeo in Sinan-gun, Wando-gun, and Goheung-gun, in Jeollanam-do, focusing on Haenyeo names, work type vocabulary, and work tools.
Jeonnam Haenyeo used general terms such as ‘Haenyeo, Jamsu’, but the Native Haenyeo in Sinan and Wando also used other terms such as ‘Jamsukkun’ or ‘Murekkun.’ Jeonnam Haenyeo, like Jeju Haenyeo, also had their terms subdivided according to their abilities and skills, but there was no significant difference between Native Haenyeo and the Settled Haenyeo.
Jeonnam Haenyeo mainly dive in the morning, using terms such as ‘Achim-mure, Achim-muljil’. The term ‘jamjil’, a vocabulary related to dive, was exclusively used by Sinan Native Haenyeo. Regarding the work space, Sinan and Wando Native Haenyeo used ‘Jjagji’ and Sinan Native Haenyeo used Jeonnam dialect such as ‘Bulteo, Gongdeog, and Gongdog’. In relation to work activities, the Native Haenyeo used vocabulary from the ‘Hwikkesoli’ category, while the Settled Haenyeo adopted vocabulary from the ‘Sumbisoli’ category used by Jeju Haenyeo.
Most Jeonnam’s Haenyeo used vocabulary from the ‘Mangsali’ category, while terms from the ‘Hongsali’ category were exclusively used by Sinan Native Haenyeo. When catching sea urchins or octopuses, vocabulary such as ‘kkakkuli’ and ‘homeng-i’ was used, along with Jeonnam dialect variations of ‘galgoli’. The use of ‘homeng-i’ could distinguish Native Haenyeo from Settled Haenyeo. When harvesting seaweed, Sinan Native Haenyeo used the Jeonnam dialect ‘ognas’. Jeonnam’s Native and Settled Haenyeo did not use the term ‘homi’, which is commonly used by Jeju Haenyeo. Among the auxiliary tools, Shinan and Wando Native Haenyeo used the Jeonnam dialect for the ‘dasdol’. In the case of ‘tewag’, Jeonnam Haenyeo exclusively used vocabulary from the ‘dulungbag’ category, differing from Jeju Haenyeo.
