ABSTRACT

This paper aims to discuss the cuisine verbs and their meanings in Middle Korean. Until now the studies on the cuisine verbs have been limited to Modern Korean. It is difficult to collect cuisine verbs in Middle Korean, because there are no Hangeul cookbooks in Middle Korean and very few data related to recipes. Cuisine verbs can be classified into three types: cutting verbs, mixing verbs and heating verbs. In Middle Korean the cutting verbs are Galda, Dihda, Sahalda etc. The mixing verbs are Damgada, Damada, Jamda, etc. The heating verbs are Goda, Gubda, Dalhida, etc. Characteristics of cuisine verbs in Middle Korean are as follows. First, some cuisine verbs in Middle Korean represented more detailed meaning than Modern Korean. Second, there were a lot of derived words in cuisine verbs. Third, ‘Jeonhada, Bsdarida, Malda, Jaeda’ had been used in Middle Korean. These features show the change of food culture in Korea.
