A Study on the Analysis of Cultural Heritage Guide Materials as Public Language: Focusing on the Analysis of Cultural Heritage Guide in Andong

Cultural heritage guide materials for UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as Hahoe and Yangdong in Korea, often contain inaccuracies and complex language that hinder effective communication, particularly for immigrants. A study analyzing guide data from Andong's Hahoe Village, Seowon academies, and Manhyujeong revealed significant issues at the levels of language regulation, vocabulary, information, and cultural context. These problems stem from misrepresentations in official language and high-level terminology, which can confuse non-native speakers. The research suggests that these materials should be carefully reviewed to improve accuracy and communication, ensuring they serve as effective educational tools for a broader audience, including immigrants.
