Abstract:

This is the inaugural volume in the Saffron Korean Linguistics Series,
published by Eastern Art Publishing in conjunction with the Centre of
Korean Studies, SOAS, University of London. "Korean Grammatical
Constructions" is a functional-typological analysis of Korean
grammatical constructions in which the grammatical relation, or the
case-marking, alternates. Although there is a great deal of
correspondence between grammatical relations and the morphological
marking, the latter sometimes fail to give a clear indication of
grammatical relations, or give inconsistent indications. The
grammatical relations (GR) can be changed by the operation of
GR-changing processes such as causative, passive, anticausative and
possessor-ascension, but the semantic roles remain unchanged in some
constructions. The author has taken into account semantic (and
pragmatic) factors in explaining the morpho-syntactic behaviour of
Korean grammatical constructions. It was shown that differences in
morphological coding features may indicate differences in semantic
implication.

About the Series:

Series Editors: Jaehoon Yeon and Jae Jung Song

The Saffron Korean Linguistics Series is devoted particularly to
functionally and/or typologically orientated research on Korean
language and linguistics.  Volumes in the series, while dealing with
specific topics in Korean language and linguistics, will address
broadly defined functional and/or typological issues and concerns,
rather than matters of abstract theoretical polemics. Theoretical or
applied work related to Korean language will also be considered. The
series aims to offer an international academic forum for the
dissemination of the latest research into Korean linguistics as well
as Korean language studies.

The Series Editors welcome manuscripts on any aspect of Korean
linguistics and language study, including Phonetics, Phonology,
Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Typology, Discourse
Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Language Acquisition, Historical
Linguistics, and Korean Language Teaching.

Submission enquiries should initially be addressed to Jaehoon Yeon.
Manuscripts or abstracts for book proposals must be submitted
simultaneously to both the Series Editors. Contributors whose native
language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts
read, and revised where warranted, by native speakers.
