A systematic presentation of the overall grammatical structure of Woleaian, spoken in the Caroline Islands. For those who want to learn the language and for linguists who are interested for theoretical purposes.
Evidentiality in Korean
This chapter investigates the grammatical phenomenon of evidentiality in Korean. While referring to the diverse proposals on Korean evidentiality, it is proposed that the Korean evidential system consists of three grammatically and semantically distinct subclasses: perceptual, quotative/reported, and inferential, each of which has two or more member evidentials. The three subclasses are syntagmatically related, occurring in the order of inferenti…

Proto-Micronesian Reconstructions
Language, forms, prosody, and themes
Korean is spoken on the Korean peninsula as the sole native language and overseas as a second or foreign language. The current population of South Korea is over 45 million and that of North Korea around 23 million. Some 5.6 million Koreans reside outside the Korean peninsula. The major countries with a significant Korean population are China (2 million), the United States (2 million), Japan (700,000), and the former Soviet Union (500,000). Due to…
Proto-Micronesian Reconstructions--I
Part 1 presents some 980 reconstructions for Proto-Micronesian, Proto Central Micronesian, and Proto Western Micronesian. Part 2 (to appear in volume 42 [2]) gives reconstructions for two additional subgroups within Proto-Micronesian: Proto-Pohnpeic and Proto-Chuukic, and their immediate ancestor, Proto Pohnpeic-Chuukic. A handful of putative loans are also identified, and a single English 2nder list is provided for all of the reconstructions.
A History of Korean Literature
This is a comprehensive narrative history of Korean literature. It provides a wealth of information for scholars, students and lovers of literature. Combining both history and criticism the study reflects the latest scholarship and offers a systematic account of the development of all genres. Consisting of twenty-five chapters, it covers twentieth-century poetry, fiction by women and the literature of North Korea. This is a major contribution to …
Cross‐cultural patterns of honorifics and sociolinguistic sensitivity to honorific variables
In this paper are presented both paradigmatic and syntagmatic patterns of honorifics that compare American English, Japanese, and Korean. A set of cross‐cultural variables of power and solidarity is proposed and discussed in relation to the usages of honorific expressions. Of the three languages in comparison, American English is the least sensitive to all the power variables and group solidarity, to which Japanese and Korean are highly susceptib…
Power and solidarity in the Korean language
This paper reveals the structural and sociolinguistic changes of Korean speech styles, relating them to the fact that in Korean society ‘power’ and formality have been giving way to ‘solidarity’ and informality. A sociolinguistically revealing analysis of the structure and usage of the Korean speech styles (or levels) is proposed, as against the traditional, one‐dimensional and purely linguistic analysis. Finally, the paper claims that the presen…
