本稿は韓國で出版されている3種類の日韓辭典における日本語形容詞の情報記述を分析し考察したものである。日韓辭典に記述されている形容詞の情報のいわゆるマクロ構造(macro-structure)とミクロ構造(micro-structure)を具體的に分析しその結果と特徵を槪括した。マクロ構造では日本國語辭典の見出し語の形容詞を基準にして日韓辭典の見出し語選定の有無を檢討し、また日本國語辭典と比較して形容詞の見出し語の情報をデ-タ化した。ミクロ構造では形容詞の表記、品詞、意味、用例、用法、關連語、派生語の情報を各項目別に分析し、その特徵を記述した。辭書の記述で最も重要に活用される項目は意味の情報であると言えるが、日本語學習者にとっては意味情報だけでなく、ミクロ構造內の他の項目の情報も極めて重要な要素であると言える。最近は電子辭書やインタ-ネット·ウェブ辭書などが活發に使われているが、これらのウェブ辭書の基盤となる紙の辭書に關する全般的な情報の檢討と反省は必ず必要な作業であると思う。

This study analysis and investigates the descriptive information of adjectives represented in the macro-structure and the micro-structure of 3 Japanese-Korean dictionaries. The so-called macro-structure means the vertical arrangement of headwords. and the so-called micro-structure implies the horizontal arrangement of details of each headword, namely notation, part of speech, semantic description, examples, usage, related words, and information on derived words. As for the macro-structure of the information of headwords, the data on the information of adjectival headwords are gathered on the basis of comparison of the headwords of Japanese dictionaries with those of Japanese-Korean dictionaries. As for the micro-structure of each lexical item, this study summarizes the special features of target dictionaries respectively. Additionally, this study describes the errors on the descriptive information of some adjectives, which has been uncovered during the information analysis of Japanese-Korean dictionaries. It needs to be specifically mentioned that not only semantic information but also other items of microscopic information are very important to dictionary users even if semantic information is the most importantly utilized item. Recently electric dictionaries or internet dictionaries are popular among dictionary users, but the general investigation and reflection on the information of paper dictionaries should be done because they are fundamentals of electric and internet dictionaries.
