Abstract:

This book provides a detailed survey of Korean and Japanese syntax
from a comparative perspective, based within a generative framework.
Yukata Sato and Sungdai Cho demonstrate that while the two languages
exhibit remarkably similar morphosyntactic features, they behave
differently in specific types of construction, with the main
differences observed in genitive marking, sentence negation, Negative
Polarity Items, the formation of causatives, and passivization. The
book also explores pragmatic and sociolinguistic issues in the two
languages, and shows that they differ in the perception and
realization of 'givenness' as a topic marker and in the influence of
relationships of power and distance on the use of honorifics. The
authors further offer additional context by exploring the typological
relationship between Japanese and Korean and the surrounding languages
such as Ainu, and the Chinese and Altaic languages, as well as
providing socio-cultural and historical background.
