Description and Explanation in Korean Linguistics

by Ross King (Editor)

Overview

This volume brings together fifteen new papers on Korean linguistics originally presented at the Ninth International Conference on Korean Linguistics, 1994. Contributions range from phonetics and phonology, to syntax and grammaticalization, and address important theoretical issues from a wide variety of formal frameworks. The volume contains new research by established scholars like Gregory Iverson, Young-key Kim-Renaud, Susumu Kuno, and Joan Maling, as well as papers by relative newcomers to the field: Sung-ock Sohn, Jae-Hoon Yeon, Mark Vincent, Chang-Bong Lee and Yoon-suk Chung. The papers in this volume will be of interest to students and researchers in both general linguistics and Korean language and linguistics.

Editorial Reviews

[These] fifteen articles (flanked by the editor's excellent Introduction and very useful Index)represent a broad spectrum of Korean linguistic scholarship. The articles are cross-linguisticand make contributions not only to Korean linguistcs but also to general linguistic theory by challenging, criticizing and revising existing models and theories.... The wide array of data and the authors' astute insights in interpreting them are quite impressive and remarkable. One cannot but feel admiration for the ingeniousness of these linguists!
