Topics in Korean Language and Linguistics(양장본 HardCover)

This book is an anthology of selected papers on Korean language and linguistics that Ho-min Sohn, Professor of Korean linguistics and Director of the Korean Language Flagship Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) and President of the Korean Language Education and Research Center, Inc., have written for academic conferences, journals, and/or chapters in edited books during the past twenty odd years.

A total of thirty-four papers were selected to encompass topics on diverse aspects of Korean language and linguistics. These papers are topically classified into four major categories: (a) linguistic and pedagogical overview, (b) structural dynamism, (c) sociolinguistic and pragmatic issues, and (d) teaching Korean as a foreign language.
