Shamanic ideas merged in Korea with Confucian and Buddhist concepts into a syncretistic worldview
expressing itself in different aspects of life. To Mongolian nomads, in contrast, life is condensed
into an alloy of shamanism and Buddhism. The characteristic features of the vocabulary and idiomatic
expressions relating to death in the Korean and Mongolian languages include ideas about the soul,
the afterlife and the meaning of death — features differing in terms of ethnic psychology and
worldview. The latter is heavily influenced by the radical difference in lifestyle between
Mongolia's nomadic and Korea's agrarian cultures, which lends its colour to the language
of death.



本文利用朝鮮、蒙古語言中的有關詞彙分析它們各對死亡的觀念。
朝、蒙兩種語言主要的區別由於兩民不同的生活條件以及民族心理學與世界觀。
因此兩民之哲學背景有特殊的相異,例如朝鮮極強的儒學影響無可比擬與蒙古佛
教以及薩滿教的文化背景。
此外,朝鮮社會的農業性與蒙古牧畜社會的流動生活也留下死亡詞彙上的不少對立。
