A new version of Jeju's vernacular glossary based on the diversity of humanity, nature and environment has appeared in a book form collecting research papers published by the author, Kim Soon Ja, staff researcher, JNU Korean Language Institute.

Kim Soon Ja's latest book entitled "A Study of Jeju Island Vernacular Glossary" (New Edition, 312 pp., 18,000 won) is unique in that she collected the vocabularies as they were used by the islanders in their various livelihood settings.
