지명어의 연구방법론 서설

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Toponym is characterized by the possibility of approach from various aspects. The possibility of approach from various aspects implies the variety of Toponym inversely. Thus, such various approach to Toponym enables one to discover the true feature and value of Toponym.
Toponym is a language. Therefore, philological research and linguistic study must be its basis and prioritized. Through linguistic interpretation, the fundamental form and meaning are reconstructed, and from it, application and expansion of denotation become possible. This is why, denotation expansion and complication of research method can be said to be a task of Toponym study in the future. Then, that will be a time when the true feature and value of Toponym are discovered, and toponymy can be established as an independent academic field.
For this, this article, under a condition in which inductive review of existing research method and a search for new and various research method are inevitable, suggests an approach from two aspects as a public sentiment of Toponym research methodology. First is a linguistic approach, and the second is non-linguistic aspect, that is an aspect of related study. The former one is an interpretation of Toponym as a language through linguistic interpretation of Toponym. It is an approach from various aspects such as
Phoneme, form, vocabulary and orthography. As a result, intensified interpretation about Toponym in these fields have been continued. Meanwhile, the latter one is a trial to define the nature of Toponym in relevancy of related study based on linguistic interpretation.
Eventually, the original form of Toponym is only reconstructed when it is contemplated comprehensively from linguistic aspect. Study about Toponym as a language starts from its interpretation. Furthermore, Toponym demands to be approached and interpreted from the relevancy of related study. Toponym is indeed a subject of comprehensive study which contains various behaviors of our life and a subject of convergence and integration study.
