    This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the linguistics of Korean.

It provides a wealth of examples and user-friendly descriptions that do not presuppose advanced knowledge of either linguistic theory or Korean on the part of the reader.

    • A comprehensive overview of Korean linguistics currently available in English
    • User-friendly and accessible even to readers without previous knowledge of Korean or linguistics
