Paik Nak-chung et al.: The Korean Language, Its Turbulent History and Vitality

There is much talk about the excellence of Hankul. But the attempt to decry the ‘promising of Korean’ and its colorful history is relatively rare, and it's a blue history and life span that will look back on its history from the modern period until today, and open up a series of epic discussions to cultivate our words with democratic and creative co-integrities. The book, which began at a left-hand meeting for the summer 'Congress,' was based on the proposals of Korean or Korean scholar Limsong, literary critic and English scholar, namely, QSSSK, who specialized in language and language dictionarys, and joined in the work of the elite speaker, Ching Kyung-hye-Song, who is a leading expert in intellectual interaction. If our language has been a definite time division with the change in language forms, this book will be a new modern Korean history in a dynamic way, as it is a linguistic response to the reality of the modern Korean peninsula. While looking back on the long effects of Korean tradition and its effects, along with the first - major ethnic and cultural movements and the flow of the nation-state movement after liberation, as well as the problems of current language norms and the challenges of civil and interlingan language policies, we note a sobering picture of what we are talking about. The vivid literature and the heated debate that has developed along the lines of the book, which reflects the fact of the language's history and its equanimity, stimulates intellectual curiosity and also gives a colorful touch to the Korean language.
