CHOI, Hyong-won. 2013. A study of Mongolian fish names (1): Focused on sea fishes. Altai hakpo 23. 127-148. The Altaic Society of Korea.

Fish names of Mongolian lexicology as a field of study received little attention in the past. It has become the focus of linguistic concern in the last few decades. The present study is intended as a comprehensive survey of a significant part of the Mongolian lexicon. 70 Mongolian fish names from Wŭtīqīngwénjiàn are phonetically and semantically investigated and compared with that of Manchu and with the contemporary documents, i.e. Mongeoyuhae and Hancheongmungam.
The conclusions are summarized like followings. 47 Mongolian fish names are mostly no correspondence with those of Manchu. 7 names are revealed loan translations. 3 terms are partial substitutions and 13 names are loanwords. Hence it is a scholarly contribution to research on Mongolian lexicology. Focusing on a language contact, this study is also a contribution to the field of contact linguistics.
