The Semantics of Clause Linking in Korean
Ho‐min Sohn · 2009
Abstract Korean is spoken natively by some 70 million Koreans on the Korean peninsula (North and South Korea) and as a second language by many overseas Koreans. Korean is typologically similar to Japanese. This includes similarity in clause linking type. Although some 65 per cent of the Korean vocabulary items are Sino-Korean, there is no genetic or typological relationship between Korean and Chinese.
