Frontiers of Korean Language Acquisition

This collection brings together original contributions from leading scholars in the field of Korean language acquisition research. Six of the eight articles in the book address various aspects of the L1 or L2 acquisition of Korean, with the remaining two dealing with Korean speakers' L2 acquisition of English or providing a general discussion of L1/L2 acquisition in the context of linguistic typology. "Frontiers of Korean Language Acquisition" represents these scholars' concerted effort to bring some of the pioneering work in Korean language acquisition to the wider international scholarly community. The collection will be of great interest to researchers in Korean language acquisition in particular and language acquisition in general. In addition, advanced students of first or second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, bilingualism, language and cognition, and general Korean linguistics will also find articles of interest in the collection.
