Zusammenfassung:"English and Korean is a truly unique textbook among works for language and grammar classrooms. Designed to be usable both in English- and Korean-language classrooms, English and Korean is the first book to provide a thorough, rigorous, but student-friendly review of the grammars of these languages in comparison, with a particular focus on addressing common usage errors by learners of each language. Ideal for courses in linguistics and language learning programs, this unique textbook takes a ground-up approach to the study of these two languages in comparison. Beginning from the fundamentals of linguistic differences, this book first explains the core reasons for the linguistic dissimilarities between English and Korean with insights into the factors that make it harder or easier for speakers of some languages to learn each of these tongues. The book then moves from examinations of script, vocabulary and lexical diversity, methods of word combination, sentence constructions, tense, verb conjugation, all the way to the use of figurative language and metaphor. The book also demonstrates connections between the linguistics of these languages and applications to fields such as language therapy, translation, language acquisition studies, and other areas of applied linguistics. Written in English but suitable for students who are still learning and perfecting their English skills, this textbook will be useful to English-speaking students studying Korean linguistics, Korean grammar, and Korean language skills, but will also find a home with Korean-speaking students who are comfortable with English but wish to develop a deeper understanding of the linguistic behaviours of the English language. Authored by leading expert in Korean linguistics, the book will become an essential text for scholars and students in Korean grammar, World Englishes, comparative linguistics, and language acquisition"--Provided by publisher
