Abstract:

In this accessible survey, two leading specialists introduce a broad range of
topics in Korean linguistics, including the general historical background of
the language, its phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, and the interfaces between those areas.
Expertly written and drawing on the authors' many years of experience, the
book answers questions such as what languages is Korean related to, what is
unique about the Korean sound system, and how are 'subject' and 'topic'
distinguished in Korean. It guides the student through the major issues in
Korean linguistics in a theory-neutral way, at the same time discussing the
latest research on the language, and exploring its unique writing system,
which has long been a topic of interest to linguists and to those interested
in writing systems in general. It is the ideal introduction for students both
at the beginning of their studies, and at a more advanced level.
