A Study on Korean Color Names Corresponding to Japanese Color Names

This study aims to find out the color names in Korean that correspond to Japanese color names. When color information is expressed as a language, it is most often expressed by the name of the color. The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems of color names used in the process of transmitting Japanese color names to Koreans.<br/> The Japanese JIS code color names 147 unique language names and 122 foreign language names as the vocabulary subject to the basic study. The Korean color names corresponding to these color names were investigated and analyzed. For color name information in Korean, we used NAVER dictionaries and DAUM dictionaries, which are Web dictionaries. As a result of examining and analyzing the information in these Web dictionaries, many vocabulary words were provided in both dictionaries that correspond to the color name of the Japanese JIScode in relatively common expressions.<br/> On the other hand, both NAVER and DAUM dictionaries can identify color names that do not provide any information about the color names of JIS codes in Japan. A foundation for building information on vocabulary that does not have Korean color name information corresponding to the color name of the JIS code in Japan should be established. Based on the list of color names constructed in this study, we could build information on color names that were not in the dictionary and explore the accompanying problems.
