Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we first examined the data collected by Ogura Shinpei (published in 1944) and then selected about 200 items that are suitable for drawing linguistic maps. Next, we input the linguistic data for these items and developed Seal 8.0 for drawing linguistic maps. Based on these preparation, we created linguistic maps for 64 items and wrote linguistic explanations for these items, thereby interpreting the geographical distribution of each map and the historical data found in written documents for each item. We published the results of this study in two volumes (Geolinguistic studies of the Korean language based on the data collected by Ogura Shinpei, Vol. 1, 2017 and Vol. 2, 2018).
