Because Japanese and Korean are typologically quite similar, a
linguistic phenomenon in one language often has a counterpart in the
other. The annual Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference provides a
forum for presenting research that will deepen our understanding of
these two languages, especially through comparative study. The
papers in this volume are from the eighteenth Japanese/Korean
Linguistics Conference, which was held at the Graduate Center of the
City University of New York in 2008. The papers cover a broad range
of topics in Japanese/Korean linguistics, including phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse
analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics.
William McClure is associate professor of Japanese language and linguistics at Queen's College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Marcel den Dikken is professor of linguistics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
