Covering both core and peripheral phenomena, The Syntactic Structures of Korean is a concrete and precise grammar of the language. Based on the framework of Sign-based Construction Grammar, it provides a grammar of Korean which is computationally implementable and cognitively viable. Remarkably broad, yet in-depth, it is an outstanding analysis of Korean syntax and semantics which will be welcomed by those working in linguistics and the Korean language.

The Syntactic Structures of Korean

Syntactic Constructions in English

Construction grammar (CxG) is a framework for syntactic analysis that takes constructions - pairings of form and meaning that range from the highly idiomatic to the very general - to be the building blocks of sentence meaning. Offering the first comprehensive introduction to CxG to focus on both English words and the constructions that combine them, this textbook shows students not only what the analyses of particular structures are, but also how and why those analyses are constructed, with each chapter taking the student step-by-step through the reasoning processes that yield the best description of a data set. It offers a wealth of illustrative examples and exercises, largely based on real language data, making it ideal for both self-study and classroom use. Written in an accessible and engaging way, this textbook will open up this increasingly popular linguistic framework to anyone interested in the grammatical patterns of English.

The first textbook to provide a student-friendly contrastive review of the grammars of English and Korean, authored by a leading field scholar English and Korean in Contrast: A Linguistic Introduction&nbsp;provides a comprehensive yet accessible analysis of the main contrasts between Korean and English. Designed not only for English-language classrooms but also for Korean-language classrooms, this unique textbook describes and analyses the two languages at every level from sound, word, and grammar to figurative language and metaphors. Throughout the text, the author addresses common usage errors by learners of each language using an accessible descriptive-based approach that covers both core and peripheral phenomena of English and Korean. Opening with an introduction to the fundamentals of linguistic differences, the textbook first describes key cultural and linguistic differences between English and Korean, offering insights into the major sources of difficulty in learning the two typologically unrelated languages. With an innovative approach to the comparative study of English and Korean linguistics, this textbook: <ul> <li>Presents a systematic contrastive analysis of the linguistic structures of Korean and English</li> <li>Offers a useful introduction to linguistic concepts for speakers of English and Korean</li> <li>Covers a wide range of important linguistic aspects, including phrases, tense and aspect, auxiliary systems, questions, relative clauses, topic and focus constructions, and so forth.</li> <li>Identifies the major mistakes often made by L2 learners, invaluable for teaching and learning English and Korean</li> <li>Helps students apply contrastive knowledge of English and Korean to psycholinguistics, bilingualism, language acquisition, and other areas of applied linguistics</li> </ul> Written by an expert in English and Korean linguistics with experience teaching students in English- and Korean-language universities, English and Korean in Contrast: A Linguistic Introduction&nbsp;is an ideal undergraduate textbook for English-speaking students studying Korean language and linguistics, Korean-speaking students studying English language and linguistics, and instructors teaching linguistics and grammar courses in both languages.

The Grammar of Negation (Dissertations in Linguistics)

This book addresses three fundamental questions in the study of negation: What are the main ways of expressing sentential negation? What are the distributional properties of lexically-encoded negative elements? And, what implications do the answers to these two questions have for the theory of grammar? In answering these questions, Jong-Bok Kim investigates various aspects of negation in Korean, English, French and Italian. Addressing both empirical and theoretical issues relating to negation in these languages, he develops a nonderivational, lexicalist analysis within the constraint-based framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. This work demonstrates that a constraint-based approach can capture the distributional possibilities of negative elements and explain related phenomena simply through their lexical properties and the interaction of the elementary morphosyntactic and valence properties of syntactic heads. The resulting constraint-based theory allows a conservative division of labor between morphology and syntax.

English Syntax: An Introduction (Studies in Computational Linguistics)

Focusing on the descriptive facts of English, this volume provides a systematic introduction to English syntax for students with no prior knowledge of English grammar or syntactic analysis. English Syntax aims to help students appreciate the various sentence patterns available in the language, understand insights into core data of its syntax, develop analytic abilities to further explore the patterns of English, and learn precise ways of formalizing syntactic analysis for a variety of English data and major constructions such as agreement, raising and control, the auxiliary system, passive, wh- questions, relative clauses, extrapolation, and clefts.
