Industry Reviews

"I think the book serves considerably more than a pedagogical function, and will be a valued descriptive and data resource for anyone who is curious about how this language is organized. It also will be a source of inspiration for graduate students in linguistics, who increasingly are pursuing projects on the structural aspects of Korean... I think this is a fine, careful contribution to the scholarship on Korean, from both linguistic and pedagogical perspectives, and I expect it to rank among the most influential, most accessible English-language expositions on Korean."- Gregory K. Iverson, University of Maryland; The Journal of Asian Studies; Volume 69/3, August 2010

'I am writing to thank you for "Korean - An Essential Grammar", Routledge, 2009. I had the great fortune to discover it two weeks ago and even at first glance it was clear I had found a small treasure. Since then I have been using every spare moment to fly through it, as though it were a thriller novel. Because it has been thrilling. The clarity and precision of your writing combined with skillful treatment of meanings, historical perspectives, and sufficient examples (thanks for the English-grammar instruction too!) have made this book into a 'page-turner' for me - right through to the last word.
I am not a linguist, nor likely ever to be one. But if anything can bring home the excitement of understanding the structure of a language, it is this beautiful primer of yours. It will remain in close reach as a reference.'- Don Lacy, Customer
