This book contains five papers in which a number of novel analysis frameworks were designed and used that are necessary to study the historical names and foreign (Japanese) names of Dokdo, such as Woosando, Seokdo, and Liancourt Rocks. In a large framework, these papers describe the process of creation, change, and extinction of a historical name as a process resulting from interaction among such factors as the naming subject and region, the phonetic name and the name in Chinese characters, changes when the former converges on the latter, and the vitality of two names and their differences. If we follow this process carefully, Woosando and Seokdo will naturally appear as Dokdo, and we will be able to see Liancourt Rocks from a fresh perspective.
