Western Attitudes toward the Korean Language: An Overview of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century Mission Literature
Silva, David J.
Descriptions of Korea’s linguistic situation written by Westerners during the nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries not only reveal native and foreign attitudes toward the Korean
language but also provide insight into language-focused evangelization tactics embraced
by Christian missionaries. Upon their arrival in Korea during the 1800s, Westerners
encountered a long-standing system of diglossia: socio-historical relations between
China and Korea gave rise to the use of various Korean “lects” in which the degree of
Chinese elements differed. Moreover, the nation’s indigenous writing system, han’g1l,
was widely regarded by Koreans as culturally subordinate to Chinese script, an attitude
that garnered much attention from Western observers. These sorts of language attitudes
were further reinforced by Westerners’ deterministic interpretations of Korea’s linguistic
situation; believing the Korean language to be linguistically defective, many Westerners
concluded that the Korean people suffered from corresponding deficiencies of intellect,
education, and morality. In a campaign to “educate” the Korean populace,
Christian missionaries worked to raise the status of the native language and orthography
as part of what would prove to be a highly effective evangelization strategy.

Review of The Phonology of Portuguese
Silva, David J.
As noted by its publisher in LINGUIST 12.390, The
Phonology of Portuguese (TPP) provides "an accurate
description of the phonological system of Portuguese"-referencing
both European and Brazilian varieties, and
seeks to explain phonological and morphological phenomena
"within the light of current phonological theories." With
TPP, authors Mateus and d'Andrade have delivered a concise
and comprehensive English-language volume on Portuguese
phonology, nicely complementing the pre-generative English language
version of J. Mattoso Camara's 1970 work, The
Portuguese Language (translated by Anthony Naro).

Fostering Engagement and Achievement in Lower-Division Courses

Successfully negotiating the first year of college is a key indicator of future
academic achievement and degree completion. Unfortunately, many of our
least experienced students are uncertain about how to transition successfully
from high school. How can you support these most vulnerable students?
