Abstract:

Covering both core and peripheral phenomena, The Syntactic Structures of
Korean is a concrete and precise grammar of the language. Based on the
framework of Sign-based Construction Grammar, it provides a grammar of Korean
which is computationally implementable and cognitively viable. Remarkably
broad, yet in-depth, it is an outstanding analysis of Korean syntax and
semantics which will be welcomed by those working in linguistics and the
Korean language.
