ABSTRACT

The 7th edition(2016), the latest edition of Modern Chinese dictionary, has not contained 30 words of same Chinese character with 61 vocabulary words of Joseon and Northern Yan regions registered in FangYan, the earliest dialect dictionary compiled in the early 1st century AD. Among the 31 other vocabulary words found in the Modern Chinese Dictionary, twelve synonyms and twenty words of different meaning even with some overlapping classifications are identified through this comparing meaning analysis between same Chinese character words simultaneously-recorded in the two dictionaries. As a result of examining the usage cases of ancient Chinese literature, four of the above 12 vocabulary classified as synonyms could be classified as originally derived from FangYan and transmitted to Modern Chinese dictionary.
