This volume contains eight papers that are all dedicated to issues
in Korean morpho-syntax from a functional-typological perspective.
The contributing authors include Kaoru Horie, Namkil Kim, Stefan
Knoob, Sang Whan Seong, Jae Jung Song, Jae-Mog Song, Nam Sun Song
and Jaehoon Yeon. The authors analyse Korean data from a
cross-linguistic perspective, showing how cross-linguistic
generalisations can contribute to an understanding of the
structures in individual languages. Cross-linguistic
generalisations are significant in understanding individual
languages and in gaining insight into the nature of human language.
Studies in individual languages and universal grammar should
complement each other. The grammar of an individual language serves
as direct evidence that provides the basis for universal grammar.
Cross-linguistic generalisations make it possible for us to gain
insight into the nature of language in general and, in turn, help
us discover facts about particular languages. The authors explore
various issues on morpho-syntactic phenomena through a
cross-linguistic comparison between not only Korean and Japanese,
but also Germanic or other languages. The cross-linguistic
comparison appeals to semantic and pragmatic considerations. Since
these semantic and pragmatic functions are the basis of comparison,
it is inevitable that they play a role in cross-linguistic
generalisation.
