ABSTRACT

Park, Byeong-Cherl. 2004. A Study on the Present Situation and Problems of Naming Toponym words Focusing on the Rear Part Elements of Road Names. Koeran Semantics, 14. This thesis aims to search for appropriate naming of rear part elements of the road names. For this purpose, we analyzed lexicons of road names of Cheongju area. The most big problem is using ‘-로(-ro)’ and ‘-길(-kil)’ in roads and streets at the same time without regarding the rank of roads. As a result, information holding capability of rear part elements is decreased. As for naming the dividing elements serial numbers are utilized without regarding property of roads that also decreases information holding capability. In conclusion we suggest naming of rear part elements of the roads as follows.-대로(-DaeRo) : Use in Main Roads-로(-Ro) : Use in Semi Main Roads-가(-Ka) : Use in Paths-골목(-Kolmok), -고샅(-kosat), -굽이(-Kubi) : Use in Lanes
