Materials for a Korean Etymological Dictionary
Abstract Korean is a head-final, left-branching agglutinative language, with basic SOV order and modifiers preceding the modified. It displays many typological similarities to Japanese, at various levels. In its vocabulary, again like Japanese and other languages in East Asia, it has been deeply influenced by Chinese. The present work is intended as a preliminary collection of lexical and etymological notes, illustrated with various literary examples.
