借字 表記 「美 , 好」에 對하여

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to reveal the borrowed-character quality of 「美」 and 「好」. The subject of this study, the 「美ㆍ好」 is used 「美川王 一云 好壤王」 in the 15 Koguryeo king-name. In relation to this record, Chang Se-Gyeong(1990) studied on 「美ㆍ好」, He suggest 「*cuhɐn」 to the mean-reading character of 「美ㆍ好」. The other opinion does not appear, perhaps to be rare the items related with 「美ㆍ好」. I preferentially recognize 「美ㆍ好」 to the borrowed chinese character, then will attempt to revel what is the idiom of borrowed character 「美ㆍ好」, using of place name data. 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」 is from the place name - 「美川」 and 「好壤」. I want to aware the generated-meaning of 「美川」 and 「好壤」, and will be make efforts in order to ensure the adequacy on my opinion by the generated-meaning of 「美川」 and 「好壤」.
According to the item of 『三國史記I』, 「美川王」 is named by 「好壤王」. If 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」 is the same type in naming, it mean that 「美川王」 must be the equivalence relation with 「好壤王」 on the borrowed chinese character. The case that two borrowed-characters is able to name equally, is in mean-reading 「美」 and 「好」. The based data which 「美」 is the same type with 「好」 in mean-reading, is that Kogorye-people 「好童」 is named as handsome-men(顔容美麗 王甚愛之 故名好童). That which is named by 「好童」 for a handsome- men(美麗), establish 「美」 and 「好」 to the equivalence relation. In middle Koran, the mean-reading morph of 「美」 is 「아」(a-rɐm). According to this, 「아」(美) is having a morphologic condition which is retrod to 「*~*」(*ɐrɐ~ɐr). In addition to this, 「嘉」 which is equivalence with 「美」 in meaning, is described to be 「*~*」 on ancient place-names. it is known that 「美」 is use to mean-reading morph - 「*~*」. This point is verifiable the being of 「*~*」 in old-age Koran, And including the equal meaning category, 「良」 is read to 「알」 into Korean-idiom. Through inference such this, it is understood that the mean-reading morph of 「好」 is 「알」 as Korean-idiom a long time ago. And 「美ㆍ好」 into 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」 is able to reconstitute as 「*~*」 in the basis of 「아」(美). In advance we able to read 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」 as 「*-왕」(*ɐrɐ-nɐ king) or 「*-왕」(*ɐr-nɐ king).
Lee Byeong-Seon(1988) and Chon So-Young(1990) is insisted on a 「大ㆍ長ㆍ首」(a meaning of the highest grade) on generative-meaning of the old place-name of 「*~*」-type. I agree to their opinion, I was able to prove such a generative-meaning through a title of main villages and a religious place in ancient times.
In result of this study, It is defined that 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」 is named by borrowed chinese character equally and I am able to demonstrate that the borrowed-character quality of 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」 is a mean-reading character - 「*~*」, and so a place name of 「美川」 and 「好壤」 to be. Able to read by 「*~*」 type, it will be inferred that the generative-meaning of 「美川王」 and 「好壤王」ㆍ「美川」 and 「好壤」 is 「大ㆍ長ㆍ首」(a meaning of the highest grade).
