In this accessible survey, two leading scholars introduce a broad range of
topics in Korean linguistics, including the general historical background
of the language, its phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and the interfaces between those areas. 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.


*“Korean linguistics enters a new phase in its development as an important
field of study. This book offers a comprehensive survey of the language’s
signature features and phenomena, offering insights of value to students
and specialists alike.”* - William O’Grady, University of Hawaii at Manoa.



*Sungdai Cho* is Professor of Korean Linguistics and Director of the Center
for Korean Studies at State University of New York at Binghamton



*John Whitman* is Professor and current chair of the Department of
Linguistics at Cornell University.
