The first Korean dictionary of verb phrases, complete with definitions, has been published!
5,472 carefully selected verbs - Korean verbs, so rich and diverse!

(1) The concept of ‘verb phrase dictionary’
* A sentence is the most basic unit that allows humans to express their thoughts.
The sentence is made up of a frame modified by a verb.
The 'Verb Phrase Dictionary' is an unprecedented dictionary that provides a complete 'interpretation' of the meanings of verbs, the backbone of the Korean language, along with specific examples of how they change and are applied.

(2) What meaning is contained in this ‘verb phrase dictionary’?
* There are countless languages ​​on Earth, but there are less than 10 languages ​​that have a 'verb phrase dictionary', including English, German, French, and Japanese.
First of all, it is difficult to collect verbs in the first place, and the usage of verbs itself must be scientific and regular.
* In the case of Korean, a very small-scale verb phrase dictionary appeared for a short time a long time ago, but then disappeared without any attention.
Therefore, this dictionary, which was created through the hard work, dedication, and sincerity of four linguists over six years, can be said to be Korea's first full-fledged 'verb phrase dictionary.'
* Thanks to this dictionary, Korea has finally joined the ranks of the few linguistically advanced countries that have a proper 'verb phrase dictionary'.
Not only that, but based on the theory of vocabulary, including the theory of lexical grammar and semantic-text correspondence, it is comparable to any verb grammar dictionary in any language in the world, and can even boast of being the world's best in terms of the number of headwords and the level of microstructural information.

(3) What are the main features of the ‘Korean Verb Dictionary with Detailed Meaning Interpretations’?
* A surprisingly rich vocabulary of 5,472 Korean verbs! Including auxiliary and functional verbs, it covers 100% of the verbs we use in our daily lives.
* The detailed verb interpretation is a 'first for the Korean people' that has never been seen before, and contains almost all language information, including notation, etymology, grammatical category, form, syntax, meaning, collocation, idiom, and examples.
* It also presents semantic relationships such as synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, and hyponyms, which can be said to be the most important semantic information in a dictionary.
It also contains a wealth of information on the incompleteness of verb conjugation, as well as on constraints on tense and aspect, which were not found in existing dictionaries.
* As the number of Korean language learners and educators around the world is growing at an incredible rate, we have provided headwords and examples of their usage in both Korean and English to provide them with a 'dripping' helping hand.
* The content of this dictionary was created based on the results of four years of research and investigation conducted by four prominent Korean language and dictionary professors with government support, and went through three years of revision, re-examination, and editing before being published as a book.

(4) What type of dictionary is it specifically?
* The 1,358-page paper dictionary borrows the size and form of the language dictionaries we commonly encounter, and is bound in expensive but sturdy hardcover for efficient long-term preservation.
* The electronic dictionary (eDictionary) is scheduled to be published 6 to 12 months after the paper dictionary.

(5) Which people or organizations/institutions would welcome this dictionary?
* Educators and regular Korean language learners teaching Korean at domestic universities and institutions such as Sejong Institute (estimated at around 25,000 as of July 2021)
* The number of Korean language learners and educators is rapidly increasing in over 76 countries around the world (estimated at around 90,000 as of July 2021, and growing rapidly)
* All public and private libraries in Korea (including electronic libraries)
* Domestic and international internet portals (Naver, Daum, Kakao, Google, Amazon, etc.) that seek to include Korean in various software, services, and online dictionaries using AI
