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

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.
