Japanese/Korean Linguistics, Vol. 20

Japanese and Korean are typologically similar, with linguistic phenomena in one often having counterparts in the other. The Japanese/Korean Linguistics Conference provides a forum for research, particularly through comparative study, of both languages. This volume includes essays on the phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, prosody, and psycholinguistics of both languages. This volume will be a useful tool for any researcher or student in either field.

The 20th Japanese/Korean Linguistics conference was hosted by the University of Oxford, and took place 1–3 October 2010. It was jointly organized by the Research Centre for Japanese Language and Linguistics in the Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Oxford, and the Department of Linguistics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. This was the second time that the conference took place outside the U.S. and its first time in Europe.
