While previous linguistic research on the Korean language has focused on possible genetic links between Korean and other languages, as well as distinctive typological and structural features of Korean, our project and this workshop shifts the focus to an areal perspective. Korean has important features in common with most of the languages in the adjoining area of Northeast Asia, regardless of whether it is genetically related to them. Earlier research has tended to divide the linguistic areas of Northeast Asia into “Siberia” and “East Asia”. We suggest that Northeast Asia as a whole may be regarded as a linguistic area or <i>Sprachbund</i>, extending from northern varieties of Sinitic (Chinese) to Siberian isolates such as Nivkh and Yukaghir. A further part of our working hypothesis is that Korean has central role among the languages of this region, due to its history and geographic location. It shares features with languages to its north, east, and south, mirroring the central cultural and political placement of Korea that continues to this day.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black'>The workshop will take place over two days.
