SynopsisWith contributions from global experts in Korean, this handbook gives a state-of-the-art overview of key trends in Korean linguistics, ranging from phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics to sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and language pedagogy. Researchers and students will find the Handbook an invaluable resource., The 'Korean wave' in music and film and Korea's rise to become the twelfth economic power in the world have boosted the world-wide popularity of Korean language study. The linguistic study of Korean, with its rich syntactic and phonological structure, complex writing system, and unique socio-historical context, is now a rapidly growing research area. Contributions from internationally renowned experts on the language provide a state-of-the-art overview of key current research in Korean language and linguistics.
