	Korean as standart language
		Korean system of the “levels of speech”, albeit closely paralleled by the Japanese system of honorific expressions, is perhaps unique in that it utilizes both grammatical markers of several kinds (case markers, honorific suffixes, special verbal particles) and special words and expressions.
		From 1941-1942, Koreans started to be officially considered “Japanese” (of “inferior branch”, of course), and Korean language proclaimed “non-existent”; only the defeat of Japan in 1945 returned to the Koreans their native tongue.
		Thus, “Korean language globalisation” cited by Korean governmental institutions as the main reason for lavishly subsidising foreign (first and foremost, American) Korean-teaching institutions, in reality is often limited to the preservation of Korean Diaspora’s ethnic legacy against the assimilation trends, and does not influence non-Korean local society too strong.

	K-ToBI (Korean ToBI) Labelling Conventions
		For example, unlike Seoul Korean, the tonal pattern of an AP in the Chonnam dialect (Southwestern dialect of Korean) is LHL or HHL (Jun 1989, 1993, 1996, 1998), with the alternation of the AP initial tone being caused by the same principles as in Seoul.
		A table showing the mapping between Korean alphabet, IPA symbol, and a Roman letter is given in Appendix A. What constitutes a “word” in Korean is controversial, and we anticipate that different sites may find that the intended applications pose specific needs as to how finely an utterance should be broken up into words.
		Therefore, the ‘+’ sign in Korean ToBI refers to a syllable boundary and implies a grouping of tones; +H is part of the AP initial tone realized on the second syllable of an AP, and L+ is part of the AP final tone realized on the penult of an AP.

	CALPER: Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research
		While these explanations are helpful at the beginning and intermediate levels of language study, they are much less so at advanced proficiency levels where the grammar fails to address such problematic issues as overlap in meaning and function.
		For example, Korean uses more than six different morphemes to express the temporal conjunction 'when,' and an equally large number of morphemes to express 'because.' Providing a single English equivalent ('when'/'because') for these multiple forms fails to capture how each one differs from the other in terms of speaker intent and pragmatic meanings.
		The next Korean workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2008 AATK Conference, June 27-28 at SUNY Binghamton.
