Description: "This book provides a detailed survey of the Korean language, covering its speakers, genetic affiliation, historical development, dialects, lexicon, writing systems, sound patterns, word structure, and grammatical structure. It is designed to be accessible to a wide readership, and provides a wealth of data in a format that does not presuppose an in-depth knowledge of the latest linguistic theories.

It will be used by general linguists and Korean linguists who are interested in the typological characteristics of the language from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and by undergraduates and graduate students in those disciplines who seek a comprehensive introduction to the linguistics of Korean.

Likewise, advanced students of the Korean language and language educators will find it offers valuable insights into lexical, phonological, morphological, and syntactic aspects of the language for their purposes."--BOOK JACKET.
