K ■ PREFACE. It was hardly expected when this volume saw the light of day in 1889 that so many years would pass before it was supplemented by something more elaborate and better and it is only the fact that nothing else has been prepared to take its place and that the author has been so beseeched for a new edition that has led us to issue this second edition. "We have sought advice and help and suggestions for changes on every hand and regret very much that the press of work has hindered others from giving to us the assistance that would have made this book of much more value to the studenj of Korean. In the present edition the author i3 glad to say that he has had the assistance of his son who went over the revision of the book with the enthusiasm of a new student of the language. We regret that more changes have not been made because we feel that the imperfections of the book would have warranted a more thorough revision of the book, but ■ a careful review of all the parts with the assistance of some of the best Korean scholars available did not result ■in more than what is seen in this new edition. There are one or two appendices that have been added which will contribute not a little to the study of the language The use of the book we believe will be very much enhanced by the alphabetical indices ; one, a general index in English and the other an index of gram matical forms in Korean. O 81271 IV PREFACE . Special credit should be given to Mr. Sang-Kyu Pack, Ph. B. of Brown University, U. S. A. who has assisted me throughout. As before, so again the author would gladly welcome any criticisms or suggestions either as to form or matter with which the student of the language may kindly favor him. Seoul, Korea, January 1914. H. G. U. PREFACE. To Fiest Edition. In this introduction to the study of the Korean spoken language, a systematic grammar, in the strict sense of the word, has not been aimed at. It has been attempted simply to introduce the student to the study, to clear away some of the obstacles and difficulties that present them selves, and to show him the way by which he can become a proficient speaker of Korean. Passing through Japan on my way to Korea, Dr. Imbrie's " English-Japanese Etymology " was brought to my notice ; and, the plan of study there presented appealing to me as best suited to my individual needs, I decided to adopt it in the study of Korean. In carrying out this idea, I was greatly aided by ob taining the Korean translation of Dr. Imbrie's sentences prepared by Mr. Song Soun Yong, (who had become my teacher) at the direction of Lieut. Bernardo (U.S.N.) After correcting, arranging and adding to them, I found them of so great advantage to myself, and they proved of such valuable assistance to the many to whom I loaned them, that I determined, to carry the classifica tion still further, to formulate rules of which the sentences should be illustrations, and to throw the whole into a form similar to Dr. Imbrie's book. Most of this was done over three years ago, but various circumstances hindered its publication, and, in the mean time, realizing that such a work Was in a measure one VI PBEFACE. sided and approached the language merely from the English standpoint, a first part, which has been called " Grammatical Notes," and which views the subject from the opposite side has been prepared. From the very nature of the case, the second part taking English idioms and phrases and showing their Korean equivalents, assumes more of a practical than a theoretical form. On the other band, the first part taking Korean phrases, idioms, sentences, showing their use among the Koreans, their structure, and their various forms, becomes more theoretical than practical. This complete division of a work on a language into two parts, each of which approaches it from a different standpoint, has, it is believed, never been attempted in one book before, and yet it is felt that such a division will materially aid the student in obtaining an accurate and well systematized knowledge of neat distinctions, and idioms, and enable him more speedily to speak a pure and not an Anglicized Korean. It is true that at times, the one naturally overlaps the other, but is equally certain, that each has its own especial place, which the other can in no way fill, and a true conception of any language can best be obtained by viewing them separately. The author takes pleasure in acknowledging valuable suggestions made by Prof. Homer B. Hulbert of the Eoyal Korean University, concerning some of the uses of the compound tenses, and also his indebtedness to Mr. A. Stewart Annand who kindly corrected much of the proof, and whose friendly assistance in many ways has greatly aided him. Credit also is due to the pioneers in the language, the French missionaries, from whose work the author gained PREFACE. VII his first ideas of Korean grammar. To more than any one else, however, thanks are due to Mr. Song Soun Yong (5jc?¥ 3§t) whose sound ideas on the use of the language as it is spoken to-day, and whose intimate acquaintance with the Chinese classics, combined with his thorough knowledge of the use of the native Ernmun have been of invaluable assistance. The author will gladly welcome any criticisms or suggestions either as to form or matter, with which students of the language may kindly favor him. H. G. U. Seoul Korea, November 1889.

  • A Study on How to Teach Tense to Chinese Korean Language Learners
    Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics 15(1), 221-234 A Study on How to Teach Tense to Chinese Korean Language Learners Sun-Min Lee Namseoul University Lee, S. M. (2011). A study on how to teach tense to Chinese Korean language learners. Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 15(1), 221-234. Presently it is hard to find a thesis which have presented the teaching plan on how to teach the tense to Chinese learners on the spot of learning and even the textbooks in classes cover the subject of tense only in the medium or high level. The author considers that the learners' mistakes on the subject of tense are apt to be fossilized, if they are not corrected in the beginning stage. Thus, the author intends to present the exercises on 'tense', as a means to teach the learners in the basic or low intermediate step, in Chapter 3 of this thesis. Considering on the basis of the properties of Chinese language, the present tense of Korean does not seem to be so difficult to Chinese learners that it was decided to be excluded from the subject. Therefore, the subject of this research would be limited to the past tense and the future tense out of the trisected tenses of present, past and future. The reason for the exclusion of present tense will be explained in detail in the following Chapter 2. Key Words: Chinese Korean language learners, Korean tense, tense teach 1 Preface The grammatic concept of 'tense' in Korean does not exist in the language of Chinese1.

  • A Mathematical Problem How Do We Teach
    A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM: HOW DO WE TEACH MATHEMATICS TO LEP 6/4/09 3:32 PM The Journal of Educational Issues of Language Minority Students, v13 p. 1-12, Spring 1994. A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM: HOW DO WE TEACH MATHEMATICS TO LEP ELEMENTARY STUDENTS? Jeanne Ramirez Corpus Mather; John J. Chiodo Note: This information was originally published and provided by The Bilingual Education Teacher Preparation Program at Boise State University. Every attempt has been made to maintain the integrity of the printed text. In some cases, figures and tables have been reconstructed within the constraints of the electronic environment. Elementary school teachers are facing a new mathematical problem that is causing great concern: how to teach basic mathematical concepts to the increasing numbers of limited English proficient (LEP) students. With the growing number of LEP students nationally, it is important to evaluate the methods teachers are using to teach these students in general, as well as the particular methods used in the process of teaching mathematics. In attempting to ascertain what particular methods would be effective in mathematics to teach LEP students, the first issue to resolve is, "Does the ability to speak English affect the acquisition of mathematics skills?" Many hold a common belief that the inability to speak English is not so much a barrier as an inconvenience in regard to the learning of mathematics (Kimball, 1990; Kessler, Quinn, & Hayes, 1985). Is this belief substantiated? It seems to depend on the answers to the following two questions: 1. Is rote computation the primary and sufficient element of mathematical literacy? 2.

  • Altaic Numerals
    102 ALTAIC NUMERALS For Karl H. Menges to his 90th birthday (April 22,1998) The Altaic hypothesis supposes a genetic relationship of Turkic, Mongo­ lian, Tungus, Korean and Japanese. One of the most frequent arguments of its opponents (Clauson, Scerbak) is based on an imaginary absence of common numerals. The presence of common (= inherited) numerals represents certainly an important argument for a genetic relationship. But its absence has no de­ claring value — there are more safely related languages without any related numerals. The recent progress in a comparative historical phonology of Altaic languages allows to identify more inherited numerals and to differentiate them from the numerals of substratal or adstratal origin. The most promising set of regular correspondences among Altaic branches and the reconstruction of the Proto-Altaic consonantism was made by Sta- rostin (1986: 104 and 1991: 21) and Vovin (1994: 100): Rule Proto- Proto-Tuikic Common Proto- Middle Proto-Japanese - Altaic Mongolian Tungus Korean 1.

  • Korean Classifier-Less Number Constructions1
    Korean classifier-less number constructions1 Dorothy AHN — Harvard University Abstract. Korean is a generalized classifier language where classifiers are required for numer- als to combine with nominals. This paper presents a number construction where the classifier is absent and the numeral appears prenominally. This construction, which I call the classifier-less number construction (Cl-less NC), results in a definite or a partitive reading where the refer- ent must be familiar: ‘the two women’ or ‘two of the women’. In order to account for this, I argue that Korean postnominal number constructions are ambiguous between a plain number construction and a partitive construction. After motivating and proposing an analysis for the partitive structure, I argue that Cl-less NC is derived from the partitive construction, explaining its distributional restriction and the interpretation. Keywords: number construction, classifiers, partitives, Korean. 1. Introduction Korean is a generalized classifier language where classifiers are required for numerals to com- bine with nominals. However, the language allows a construction where the classifier is absent and the numeral appears prenominally in some contexts, as shown in (1). Unlike the regu- lar number construction shown in (2), (1) results in a definite or a partitive reading where the referent of women is familiar. I call the classifier-less number construction (Cl-less NC). The existence of such construction has been noted before in the literature, but it was assumed to be a special case of direct combination of a small class of human or body-part denoting nouns with numerals (cf. Choi, 2005; Shin, 2017). That this construction results in a different meaning from the regular number construction is a new observation that, as far as the author knows, has not been discussed in the literature.

  • The Koreas in International News Richard John Murray BA Hons, MJ
    Constructions of Good and Evil: The Koreas in International News Richard John Murray BA Hons, MJ A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 The School of Communication and Arts Abstract As part of the post-disruption news landscape this thesis investigates the construction (Berger & Luckmann, 1966; Couldry and Hepp, 2017) of North Korea and South Korea in international news. I argue the digital disruption of the news industry has not only transformed the delivery of news but also the practice of crafting stories on the Koreas. Taking Picard’s (2014) Twilight or New Dawn of Journalism thesis as a starting point, this thesis takes Picard’s post-disruption newsroom model and applies it to international news. Under this conception of news as an industry, newsrooms have become the site of the curation and distribution of news rather than a site of news gathering and production. Picard terms this the “service mode of journalism”. The scholarly practice of situating news framing research of this nature in a newsroom is rendered outdated when viewed through the lens of two digital migrant news organisations: news.com.au and The Guardian. Despite the changes in the role and function of the newsroom, journalism as a field of scholarship has been slow to respond. Within framing theory and methodology scholarship there is a persistence in applying outdated methods of newsroom ethnography in keeping with the classic studies in the tradition (Tuchman, 1978; Gans, 1979; Gitlan, 1980; Gamson, 1988; Entman, 1991, 1993; Reese, 2005). This thesis responds to the transformation of the role of the newsroom by moving beyond the newsroom and into the network where the stories on Korea are constructed.
