Study of the Uses of Names of Places Appearing in the Korean Old Vernacular Letters in the Joseon Period

This thesis aims to research the aspect that names of places in the Korean Old Vernacular Letters of the Joseon Period define and determine to special person. There are two cases that the name of place refers to special person. First, the name of place itself refers to special person. Second, construct such as [name of place+d&#652;ik(<span style="font-family:'새굴림';">&#58281;</span>)/jip(집)] refers to special person. Irrespective of gender, the addressee, caller and a third person could be referred to through names of places itself. Whilst [name of place+d&#652;ik(<span style="font-family:'새굴림';">&#58281;</span>)], [name of place+jip(집)] refers to a married woman, in this case, names of places are designated showing her parent’s home, her in-law’s home and her own home. In cases where names of places determine a special person, it could be divided in to different constructs such as [name of place+siln&#652;i(실<span style="font-family:'새굴림';">&#58009;</span>)], [name of place+kinship terminology] and [name of place+government post terminology]. [Name of place+siln&#652;i(실<span style="font-family:'새굴림';">&#58009;</span>)] refers to a married woman. The names of places in constructs such as [name of place+kinship terminology] and [name of place+government post terminology] mean the place that the relative or a public office is living at present. Based on the arguments mentioned, the reference expressions and the determination expressions of the names of places can be arranged in to classifications such as superiority, juniority, equality and so as first, second and third persons.
