Advanced Korean Linguistics

Catalog description

This course will provide an advanced level of study of the structure of the Korean language. Within Korean linguistics, the course provides an overview as well as the study of phonetics and phonology, morphology and syntax, semantics and pragmatics, sociolinguists and psycholinguistics, and language pedagogy. Based on the weekly reading of articles, we will discuss the adequacy of the analyses of a particular structure, including generalizations, and consider an expanded data set. In addition to weekly assigned reading, students are encouraged to read the related literature and to further investigate the relevant issues before class meetings, in order to reach their own conclusion concerning the adequacy of the analyses presented in the books. Prerequisite: AAAS 218 OR LING 283. Offered every other year.
