	Korean language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korean is agglutinative in its morphology and SOV in its syntax.
		Korean is similar to Altaic languages in that they both have the absence of certain grammatical elements, including number, gender, articles, fusional morphology, voice, and relative pronouns (Kim Namkil).
		Traditionally, the Korean language has had strong vowel harmony; that is, in pre-modern Korean, as in most Altaic languages, not only did the inflectional and derivational affixes (such as postpositions) change in accordance to the main root vowel, but native words also adhered to vowel harmony.

		As Kim claims that Koreans "are not free-thinkers" and that "there are social problems in Korea that need attention" (Jung Seong-Il 2002), it seems that the director views his own society like the young girl Jin-a, locked in a birdcage and unable to escape.
		Rather than concentrate on the war itself, the director examines the life of the village as it is affected by the close proximity of an American military base and the increasing worry and hardships brought on by the distant fighting.

	Negotiating Cultural Identities in Conflict: A Reading of Paek Kyonghae's Writings - CESP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Only recently have scholars begun to invest a substantial amount of effort in researching the history of the "forgotten" region of P'yóngan Province in Korean historiography.
		Most of these studies start with the notion that there was no yangban aristocracy in P'yóngan Province -- a prevailing perception of late Chosón literati, and one that rationalized social and political discrimination against people from this region.
		One of the main goals of this study is to challenge this perspective through a close reading of the writings of Paek Kyónghae (1765-1842), a literatus from P'yóngan Province, to illuminate his perceptions and responses to regional discrimination and his cultural identity as a man from a politically and socially condemned region.
