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. Chapters are divided into five thematic areas: phonetics and phonology, morphology and syntax, semantics and pragmatics, sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics, and language pedagogy. The Handbook includes cross-linguistic data to illuminate the features of Korean, and examples in Korean script, making it suitable for advanced students and researchers with or without prior knowledge of Korean linguistics. It is an essential resource for students and researchers wishing to explore the exciting and rapidly moving field of Korean linguistics.
Sungdai Cho is Professor of Korean Linguistics and Director of the Center for Korean Studies at State University of New York, Binghamton. He is internationally renowned in Korean linguistics and Korean language pedagogy, with main research interests in syntax and morphology as well as Learning Motivation and Testing. John Whitman is Professor and current chair of the Department of Linguistics at Cornell. He has published extensively on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean - their history, relations, and structure. Cho and Whitman have recently co-authored Korean: A Linguistic Introduction (Cambridge, 2020).
