Reviews

Provides a long-overdue treatment of what may arguably be considered some of the most 'interesting' aspects of the Korean language. . . . For the Korean language learner, the information contained is invaluable. However, [the book] also stands alone as an informative overview of cultural aspects of Korean that would be of note to anyone interested in various sociocultural aspects of the language and people.-- "Journal of Sociolinguistics"
