>I recently acquired a 1957 "Popular Dictionary of Political Terminology"
>(Taejung ChOngch'i YongO SajOn), edited by Kim Sang-hyOn, and published in
>Pyongyang. It is interesting in several regards:
>
>1. There is no entry for the term "chuch'e," despite Kim Il Sung's speech
>of December 1955 regarding the same.
>
>2. As with books published somewhat later, Kim Il Sung is merely a
>"comrade" (tongji): the honorific -nim and honorific particle -kkesO are
>lacking. Nor is there an entry for the great leader himself.
>
>3. Many of the terms are transcribed from Russian rather than rendered in
>native Korean.
>
>4. The dictionary order is between that of current South Korean
>publications and modern North Korean.
>
>The book was very badly mildewed, so I am having a few copies of the
>dictionary made; if anyone is interested, please contact me. I intend to
>donate at least a couple to the libraries in Seoul I use.
>
>Scalapino and Lee's Communism in North Korea lists a later version of the
>dictionary (1959) also edited by Kim Sang-hyOn in the bibliography.
>However, I have not yet been able to find this in libraries in Seoul such
>as the Ministry of Unification's Data Center. Is anyone aware of a US
>library holding the 1959 version? I would be interested in tracking the
>changes in terms, i.e. did chuch'e show up by then?
>
>The Ministry of Unification Data Center has a 1964 dictionary of the same
>title edited by Pak Chun-SO which does have a one page entry for chuch'e;
>the dictionary order is that of modern North Korean.
