Discussion Post #10

If I’m going to do linguistics, I would do Korean and Korean culture. First, I will investigate the origin of Korean, such as who created the language, what language family it belongs to, whether there are other branches and so on. Hangul is the language used in Korean, created by King Sejong, the fourth emperor of Korea (1418-1450), it was published in October 1446.Many of the words in Korean come from Japanese and Chinese, because the languages of these countries originated from ancient China.

And then I'm going to look at the structure of Korean, this includes how vowels and consonants are combined, and how words are structured. In ancient times, the correct pronunciation of Hangul has 28 letters; Modern Korean has a total of 24 letters, 14 consonant letters and 10 vowel letters. The phonetic structure of Korean is simpler than that of indo-european. Each Korean character represents one syllable and each syllable has up to four phonemes. The structure of each character consists of up to five letters, which form the shape of a square character, so that it can be used together with Chinese characters. It is easy to learn the correct pronunciation of the alphabet, and its form is very consistent with the logic of phonetic structure, so it is called one of the easiest to learn and most scientific characters in the world.

Finally, I will study Korean grammar and culture, since the most important grammatical expression of Korean is in the suffix of words. I will classify the use of suffixes and use objects and situations. South Korean culture is obviously influenced by China, as early as the tang period, the Korean peninsula's ghost the special messenger to China to study Chinese culture and the strategy of governing the country, there are some things after copying to take back after "localization" absorption for their own culture, China's cultural influence to Woosong countries is very long, ghost also because of absorption of Chinese culture and strong unity on the Korean peninsula.
