Abstract:

This book examines the synchronic characteristics of an endangered,
transplanted variety of Korean spoken in Central Asia – Yukchin Dialect (YD) –
as well as the (socio)linguistic factors conditioning the development of both
this variety and Kore Mar (KM) – a koine variety of Korean which formed in
Central Asia with YD as one of its input varieties. It consists of three
sections.

The first introduces the phenomena of language endangerment and contact to
provide context for the extensive description of YD which appears in the
second. This draws upon a rich collection of primary linguistic data elicited
from native-speaker consultants, covering phonetics, phonology, morphology,
and vocabulary. Throughout, YD’s features are contrasted with those of
Contemporary Standard South Korean. The third section examines the
historical-linguistic and sociolinguistic processes which have led YD to its
current disposition. It encompasses an examination of the role of YD in the
formation of the KM and concludes by suggesting practical methods for
revitalising Korean in Central Asia.

This translation presents not only the unique perspective of a native-speaker
researcher to Koreanists, but also introduces concepts from the broader
Russophone tradition of sociolinguistics to an English-speaking audience.
