The Handbook of Korean Linguistics cover

The Handbook of Korean Linguistics presents state-of-the-art overviews of the linguistic research on the Korean language.

• Structured to allow a range of theoretical perspectives in addressing linguistic phenomena

• Includes chapters on Old Korean and Middle Korean, present-day language policies in North and South Korea, social aspects of Korean as a heritage language, and honorifics

• Indispensable and unique resource not only for those studying Korean linguistics but cross-linguistic research in general

“The first volume of its kind, students and scholars will be delighted with this comprehensive guide to a wide range of topics in Korean linguistics. The authorial team represents the very best scholarship today, including senior scholars and a younger generation of researchers, both breaking new ground in emerging areas like linguistic politeness, language acquisition, and linguistic anthropology.”

Ross King, University of British Columbia, Canada

“Rich in information and delightfully readable, this book includes an amazing array of topics, analyses, and authors. An unprecedented primer on the structure of the Korean language, it also introduces general linguistic theory and approaches to the study of language.”
