Blue Thought's new book, "Korean Special Lecture 1: Meaning and Meaning Analysis," has been published.
This book, co-authored by Professor Shin Hyun-sook (Professor of Korean Language Education, Sangmyung University) and Professor Kim Young-ran (Visiting Professor, Graduate School, Sangmyung University), focuses on teaching and learning Korean meaning and semantic analysis, as well as suggesting methods for constructing semantic information about the Korean language and methods for semantic analysis.
It is particularly significant in that it is based on the actual language life and language data of Korean society and Korean users.
I hope that this book will reach many readers through your introduction.
thank you


Contents of the book
As interest in the Korean language grows worldwide, research on the language is also being conducted on a very broad scale.
A variety of Korean language education materials and textbooks are being developed both domestically and internationally, and various projects are being undertaken at the national and government levels to elevate the status of the Korean language.


"Korean Special Lecture 1: Meaning and Semantic Analysis" is a special lecture format that covers various issues that have been discussed while studying and teaching Korean.
It focuses on presenting problems that can increase interest in Korean, especially understanding of meaning and semantic analysis, and on revealing methods and processes for solving those problems.
Through the process of thinking, analyzing, and discussing together, I hope to increase interest in the Korean language and develop our thoughts on the meaning of language and its analysis.
Meanwhile, this book presents topics and issues that Korean language learners and educators can think about together.
In the process of discussing and resolving topics and issues, I hope to gain an accurate understanding of the characteristics of the Korean language, as well as the cognitive processes and cognitive methods of Korean society and Korean speakers.


The terms and concepts discussed in this book are organized based on those widely used in Korean language research or Korean language education, and the materials and examples are organized based on those that can be easily found in actual language use.
The motivation is that Korean language research and education are now on a global stage.


Finally, I hope that this book will be actively utilized in Korean language research and education, especially in semantic research and semantic education.


Recommendation

The need and importance of studying meaning can be easily recognized by examining why we speak.
The primary function of language is to communicate in order to convey meaning.
Therefore, studying the meaning of linguistic forms is also very important in studying language.


Linguistic form and meaning are like two sides of the same coin.
Therefore, to study the linguistic forms that make up language, we need to study meaning, and to create and interpret meaning, we need to study linguistic forms.
The study of linguistic form and meaning can be divided into units ranging from sound units to literary works in series, but the ultimate goal of linguistic research is to elucidate the relationship between linguistic form and meaning, which can be used to understand language society and language users.
