Korean Morphosyntax: Focusing on Clitics and Their Roles in Syntax - Focusing on Clitics and Their Roles in Syntax

Korean Morphosyntax: Focusing on Clitics and Their Roles in Syntax presents a theory-neutral comprehensive analysis of Korean morphosyntax for advanced students and scholars of Korean language and linguistics.

This book focuses on the morphosyntactic status of particles in Korean and highlights how this understanding allows for a proper analysis of sentences. As the significance of clitics in Korean has not been highlighted by previous works in such depth, this book offers the first comprehensive study of this aspect of the Korean language. The new observations offered here will allow readers to correctly identify the basic units of syntax and to properly analyze sentences in Korean.

This book will be of interest to graduates and scholars interested in Korean linguistics and morphosyntax.
