浅谈韩国语汉字词与汉语对等词的词义差异

On the Semantic Differences Between Korean Chinese-character Words and Their Chinese Counterparts

韩国语中有大量的汉字词,除源自汉语外,也有部分源自日本语。这些汉字词多受汉语的影响,但与汉语同形词存在词义上的差异:一是因为来源不同,二是因为借用时期不同。在韩国语的发展过程中,这些借用词发生了词义扩大或者缩小等变化。

Korean has a large number of words that can be written in Chinese characters, which seem to be equivalents of the corresponding Chinese words. Many of these originated from Chinese but some may have come from Japan. The words retain the influencc of Chincse, but have evolved meanings that arc diffcrent from their Chinese counterparts. The differences could be attributed to different sources or times of borrowing. Semantic extension and narrowing have occurred to these loan words during the development of the Korean language.
