An Introduction to Korean Linguistics is a valuable and
comprehensive text for those with an interest in Korean
linguistics. This book provides an in-depth introduction to the
basics of Korean linguistics, and modern linguistic theory, in an
accessible style. It features a step-by-step approach designed to
lead the reader through the linguistic make-up of the language,
from the basics of its sound system and sentence structure to the
semantics of modern spoken Korean. Features include: Detailed
chapters covering the core areas in the field of linguistics,
including phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax Clear and
accessible explanations which effectively demonstrate the
intricacies and subtleties of the Korean language Suggested
readings for those interested in expanding their knowledge of a
specific topic Exercises designed to complement the factual and
analytical issues covered in each chapter A comprehensive glossary
of central terms and a companion website offering a wealth of
additional materials. Korean is an invaluable language for the
study of theoretical and comparative linguistics as it provides
important examples and counter-examples to key issues, making An
Introduction to Korean Linguistics an essential text for students
and professional linguists alike.

Korean has proven to be an invaluable language to theoretical
linguists, providing abundant examples of, and counterexamples to,
key theoretical issues at the forefront of modern linguistic
theories. Exploring the Korean language from both a syntactic and
semantic perspective, this book provides an up-to-date linguistic
analysis of its structure, combining Minimalist Syntax with
accompanying compositional formal semantics. EunHee Lee's detailed
chapters cover the core architecture and phenomena of Korean,
looking at the lexical layer, the functional layer, nominal
structure, movements and complex clauses. A broad range of
empirically and theoretically important phenomena are discussed,
enabling students and professional linguists alike to understand
the workings of the language in current theoretical frameworks. The
book also includes discussion questions, exercises and a list of
further reading to solidify the theoretical concepts, stimulate
thinking and develop the ability to analyze Korean using
theoretical tools.
This Open Access book undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the
water, energy, and food (WEF) security nexus with a regional focus
on East and Southeast Asia. Individual chapters of this book
provide interesting nexus dimensions of the region and explore
socioeconomic implications of the nexus approach with a special
focus on the cross-cutting issues, including climate change,
gender, and trans-boundary cooperation. It also discusses
innovative approaches, advanced nexus solutions, and various future
scenarios. Finally, it suggests that an improved nexus
understanding based on scientific evidence is a key element to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  With
explosive population growth and economic development, countries in
East and Southeast Asia are witnessing competitive consumption of
WEF resources across various sectors and across borders. The
diverse range of geographical, political, and economic conditions
combined with climate change and urbanization is posing a new set
of challenges in the region. The long-term security of WEF,
therefore, would need an integrated nexus approach through an
enhanced understanding how the interactions between WEF resources
are shaped by environmental, economic, social, and political
changes in the region.   This book is a highly
recommended source of information and inspiration for policy
makers, research communities and practitioners dealing with any
aspect of water, energy, and food security in East and Southeast
Asia.
