Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the place names in Korean textbooks and to examine the role of the place names in the textbooks The subjects of the study are ‘Seoul University Korean’ and ‘Sejong Korean’. The place names were based on the classification of place names in the National Atlas and were classified into natural place names, human place names, and administrative place names. Natural place names and administrative place names appeared evenly in the two textbooks, but humanities place names showed large regional deviations and differences. The place names in the textbooks show not only the geographical location but also the changes of society, symbolize the times, and let us know the history, tourism and food culture of our country. This study can not only provide a way to reflect various place names in textbooks in a balanced way, but can also be used as basic data to reveal changes in place names in Korean language textbooks.
