Study on Auditory adjectives in Japanese and korean - On vocabulary Education View through Synonym Kim, Young-Ah In this study, we analyzed the auditory adjectives, ‘Urusai’, ‘Yakamasii’ and ‘Sawagasii’ to compare and contrast with Korean words of siggeurupda, yoranhada and ddeodeulsseoghada, the Korean equivalents of the above-mentioned Japanese auditory adjectives in order to look into the similarities and differences of the Korean and Japanese auditory adjustives. Firstly, the difference of Japanese is that ‘Urusai’ and ‘Yakamasii’ are used against a single sound and ‘Sawagasii’ is used to express an unpleasant feeling against a multiple sound. Secondly, ‘Urusai’, which is used to show displeasure against low sounds is focused on the listener and ‘Yakamasii’ and ‘Sawagasii are words are focused on the objective. Thirdly, ‘Yakamasii’ is external, but ‘Urusai’ is internal. Fourthly, ‘Urusai’ implies something that is too complicated to solve, while ‘Sawagasii’ denotes a mismatch and disharmony. Additionally, as for the difference in the Korean words of siggeurupda, yoranhada and ddeodeulsseoghada, firstly, siggeurupda and yoranhada are only used to emotional or non-emotional auditory feelings caused by both single sounds and multiple sounds and ddeodeulsseoghada is only used for sounds made by more than one person. Secondly, siggeurupda focuses on the listener him/herself but yoranhada is only used for focusing on the state of the situation. Thirdly, siggeurupdahas uses the similar method of meaning as ‘Urusai’ and ddeodeulsseoghada uses the similar method of meaning as ‘Sawagasii’. From the perspective of Japanese-language education, the comparison chart of auditory adjectives in Japanese and Korean as well as the concrete examples through the contrastive analysis (provided in this paper) may offer a guideline for selecting synonymous adjectives, aiding Japanese learners of Korean to misuse of them.
