I wish I had checked more thoroughly before I bought it. It seems to be very informative, but not in the way I am looking for. It reads like someone´s Korean linguistics master´s thesis. I assume if you already know Korean and are interested in it´s linguistic intricacies and history then it might be worth a read. Probably better read in the original Korean in that case though. In any case, it´s not for beginning or intermediate learners just trying to beef up their Korean power. I mean the (English) book has hardly any Korean to read in it! . And summed up by saying For linguists, not learners.. Currently The Korean Language (Suny Series in Korean Studies) has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
