Title

Categories and Case: The sentence structure of Korean

William O’Grady

The principal objective of this book is to provide a unified treatment of morphological case in Korean. Focussing on the nominative, accusative and dative suffixes, the author seeks to show that each of these morphemes consistently encodes a corresponding combinatorial relation in the 'surface'… read more

O’Grady, William 2024 Hangul — A hybrid orthography: A hybrid orthography Korean Linguistics 20:2, pp. 113–126 | Article

Hangul is widely categorized as a classic example of a morphophonemic orthography, in which each morpheme receives a single spelling, even if its pronunciation varies from context to context. This paper makes the case that Hangul is in fact a hybrid orthography that adheres to a morphophonemic… read more

The phenomenon of transfer plays a prominent role, either explicitly or implicitly, in most approaches to SLA, including Focus on Form and the Interaction Hypothesis – to name two lines of inquiry that lay at the heart of Mike Long’s scholarship. The central thesis of this chapter is that… read more

Kim, Kitaek, William O’Grady and Bonnie D. Schwartz 2018 Case in Heritage Korean Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 8:2, pp. 252–282 | Article

In a series of five experiments with 31 Korean heritage children, we show that knowledge of case and the ability to use it must be evaluated with careful attention to multiple factors that can influence access to morphological information in the course of comprehension and production. The first… read more

O’Grady, William 2015  Casting a wider net  Epistemological issue with keynote article “The role of language processing in language acquisition” by Colin Phillips and Lara Ehrenhofer, pp. 505–510 | Commentary

Kim, Chae Eun, William O’Grady and Kamil Deen 2014 The extrinsic plural marker in Korean: Five studies Korean Linguistics 16:1, pp. 1–17 | Article

This paper presents a series of experiments designed to shed light on some aspects of the use and interpretation of so-called ‘extrinsic -tul’ by child and adult native speakers of Korean. Our findings indicate that this morpheme occurs far less frequently than the intrinsic plural marker in both… read more

O’Grady, William 2013  The illusion of language acquisition Epistemological issue with keynote article “The illusion of language acquisition” by William O’Grady, pp. 253–285 | Article

O’Grady, William 2013  Facts and issues: Response to the commentaries* Epistemological issue with keynote article “The illusion of language acquisition” by William O’Grady, pp. 373–383 | Article

O’Grady, William 2011 Chapter 1. Relative clauses: Processing and acquisition The Acquisition of Relative Clauses: Processing, typology and function, Kidd, Evan (ed.), pp. 13–38 | Article

This chapter offers an emergentist perspective on the typology, processing, and acquisition of relative clauses. I begin by outlining the key tenets of an emergentist approach to language, and then offer a proposal for how the two major types of relative clause patterns found in the world’s… read more

Anderson, Victoria, Insung Ko, William O’Grady and Miho Choo 2004 A Palatographic Investigation of Place of Articulation in Korean Coronal Obstruents Korean Linguistics 12, pp. 1–24 | Article

Abstract. This study uses static palatography to determine articulatory positions for coronal obstruents, for five native speakers of Seoul Korean in their twenties. For four of the speakers, affricates are consistently articulated slightly further back on the teeth than stops. However, stops,… read more

O’Grady, William 1980 Foundations of a Theory of Case Studies in Language 4:2, pp. 229–248 | Article

The category of case provides a characterization of inter-word relations based on a tripartite categorization of word-types. Individual case systems result from the interaction of a core of four basic inter-word relations with a number of other autonomous grammatical and semantic systems. Data from… read more
