Sodaesungjeon was printed as blockbooks for sale in Seoul and Jeonju late Choseon and was read popularly. Today we can find six blockbooks of Sodaesungjeon printed in Seoul and four in Jeonju. I compared two kinds of Seoul’s 36-sheets and 24-sheets. And I ascertained that the two blocks reflected the change of language, for example ‘이시리잇고’ and ‘잇스리잇고’ that the former have changed to the latter. This corresponds with the advanced research. I can find similar results in two blockbooks printed in Jeonju, 36-sheets and 43-sheets, therethrough I find the latter has many dialects. Also I compared Seoul’s 36-sheets and Jeonju’s 43-sheets, and ascertained that the Seoul’s has the older spellings and Jeonju's reflects the Cheolla dialects. This study tells that the spellings of blocks have many information about the language of the day.
