Japanese/Korean Linguistics, Volume 13

Japanese and Korean are typologically quite similar languages, and the linguistic phenomena of the former often hve counterparts in the latter. These collections from the annual Japanese/Korean linguistics conference include essays on the phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics of both languages. Such comparative studies deepen our understanding of both languages and will be a useful reference to students and scholars in either field.

Mutsuko Endo Hudson is associate professor of Japanese and linguistics at Michigan State University. Peter Sells is professor of linguistics and Asian languages at Stanford University. Sun-Ah Jun is professor of linguistics at the University of California, Los Angeles.
