This thesis is focused on studying the derivation and changes of meaning of polysemic words among those many middle Korean words(Mid-15th C.∼16c.). Derivation of polysemic words; As a mothod of approach to the polysemic words. we studied derivation of polysemic words by classifying them into 2 categories. 1. Psychological factors (1) Through perception of simiarity between the senses (2) Through perception of contiguity between the senses 2. Sociolongical factor (3) Through specialization in the senses The types of middle Korean polysemic words derived through perception of simiarity between the senses are classified as follows. ① The shifts in application ② Abstraction in senses and Concretization in senses As a result, we found that the most numbers of derivation appeared in the category "Through perception of simiarity between the senses", especially in the group of "the shift in application" and "concretization in sesses". For esample, '깁다'(Kipta; to patch) origianally meant to "patch clothes", but it was changed in meaning to "repaire someone" according to "The shifts in application", and it was also changed to "assist someone" according to the "Concretization in senses", which show the changes of the broadening of senses. We also found that polysemic words purely composed of synaesthetic metaphor were small in number, though the words changed from sensory words to abstract words were large in number. On the contrary, we found, in these days, modern peoples, use many sensory words transformed by synaesthetic metaphor. The Types of Middle Korean polysemic words derived through perception of contiguity between the senses are classified as follows. ① Spatial contiguity ② Temporal contiguity ③ Causal relation We found that the numbers of polysemic words in the third category "through speciallization in senses" was only about 14. The reason is that, we think, the specialized words used in that period were small in number because that social conditions of the early part of the Yi Dynasty were not yet specialized and collectivized. However, because Buddist and Chinese medical words appeared in the language of that period. The changs of meaning; As a method to approach, we did a comparative study of middle Korean and morden Korean by classifying into categories of broadening, narrowing, and disappearing, generating in meaning. we foud larger number of words could be categorized as those broadening in meaning. The reason is that differentiation of meaning be metaphor happened frequently in those words broadening in meaning. In this study, a small number of words were narrowed by differentiation of word forms, though some of those words disappeared from the language due to the changing social customs which fostered the disappearance of objects.
