PREFACE
Advanced Korean and Advanced Korean: Sino-Korean Companion
Advanced Korean: Sino-Korean Companion by Ross
King, Chungsook Kim, Jae Hoon Yeon and Don
Baker, is an optional companion CD-ROM vol-
ume to the textbook Advanced Korean by Ross King,
Chungsook Kim, and Jaehoon Yeon. First, then, let us
provide some background about Advanced Korean.
Advanced Korean is an updated and improved ver-
sion of 3, first published in 1986 by the
(then) or Research Center for nah Cho, Leif Olsen, and Cindy Chen put in many
Korean Culture at Korea University () hours of work on the files and made numerous
in Seoul as part of their multilevel and multivolume
textbook series. For more information on the old
3 and its reincarnation as Advanced Korean,
please refer to the preface of the latter.
In addition to, and parallel with, the two volumes
of Advanced Korean, Ross King, Chungsook Kim,
and Donald Baker have developed the Advanced
Korean: Sino-Korean Companion as an optional sup-
plement for those learners wishing to commence
the study of Chinese characters as they are used in
Korean. The Sino-Korean Companion is designed to
serve as a kind of parallel universe for Advanced
Koreanit assumes a knowledge of the main texts,
example sentences, vocabulary, and structural pat-
terns introduced in Advanced Korean, and introduc-
es five hundred Chinese characters (, i.e.,
, typically pronounced []) in their Korean
readings with a view to helping students do two
things: (1) improve their knowledge of and intui-
tions about Sino-Korean vocabulary in Korean and
(2) teach themselves as they continue their
lifelong journey of Korean language learning.
Most of the hard work in preparing both Ad-
vanced Korean and Advanced Korean: Sino-Korean
Companion has been carried out by research assis-
tants working with Ross King at the University of
British Columbia (UBC). With specific respect to
the Sino-Korean Companion, the three coauthors
contributions were as follows: Chungsook Kim was
the lead author of the Korea University team that
wrote the Main Texts and Example Sentences for
each lesson in the original 3. Don Baker
was responsible for the initial selection of Chinese
characters to be targeted for teaching in each of the
twenty lessons. Ross King has modified the work of
both Chungsook Kim and Don Baker slightly and
is responsible for everything else. UBC graduate
students Dafna Zur, Kiyoe Minami, and Sinae Park
worked many hours on the Sino-Korean materials
in the initial stages of the project. Most recently
and most notably, Jung Hwang and especially Su-
helpful suggestions on content and format. Moreo-
ver, several cohorts of UBC students have suffered
through beta versions of the Sino-Korean Compan-
ion since 1995 when Ross King began developing
the materials. The authors are grateful to all these
students for their patience and feedback. Most re-
cently, Sunny Oh, Yoon Chung, Mike Whale, and
Andrew Pugsley of the 20052006 Korean 300
cohort have caught numerous problems and errors
in the beta files.
The authors also owe a debt of thanks to several
colleagues who have published useful reference
works and textbooks in recent years. Please refer to
the preface of Advanced Korean for a more detailed
list of sources consulted for that book, but here we
wish to record our appreciation for the excellent but
now out-of-print Myongdo textbooks, especially
the Intermediate Korean: Part I volume, which has
provided the inspiration for the Main Text in Les-
son 6 on proverbs. The authors are also grateful
for the existence of numerous study aids, manuals,
learner dictionaries, and websites targeted toward
Korean native speakers (see the section Learning
: Methodological and Sociolinguistic Premis-
es and Preliminaries section below for some refer-
ences), but we are especially grateful to two works
in particular: Bruce Grants classic Guide to Korean
Characters and Choo and OGradys Handbook of
Korean Vocabulary. Any serious student of Korean
should own both of these books.
Finally, the authors wish to thank the Korea
Foundation for the teaching materials development
grant that funded this project at UBC.

About the Lessons
Each lesson consists of the following sections:
Main Text
Each lesson begins with a Main Text, the contents
of which are identical to the Main Text of the corre-
sponding lesson in Advanced Korean. However, any
Sino-Korean vocabulary that has been introduced
in previous lessons and/or in the current lesson is
highlighted in bold text. Sometimes the Main Text
is followed by one or more of the Example Sen-
tences from the body of the corresponding lesson
in Advanced Korean, in which case these sentences
carry new Chinese characters meant to be learned
in the current lesson. Here, too, any Sino-Korean
items that are fair game for the learner are in bold.
New Vocabulary
The New Vocabulary section glosses only those
words from the Main Text (and Example Sentenc-
es). The idea is to avoid a situation where the stu-
dent of the Sino-Korean Companion is forever hav-
ing to look up vocabulary in the back of Advanced
Korean.

(Practice) About Vocabulary

These pages give the student an opportunity to
practice writing the new characters (and radicals)
according to the correct stroke orders.
This textbook introduces a lot of vocabulary: some
two thousand items in all in just the case of bold
Sino-Korean combinations. The authors are skepti-
cal of approaches to introducing vocabulary based
on statistical frequency lists, since these frequency
lists are never based on the vocabulary needs of

university students, businessmen, or adult Anglo-
phone learners of Korean in all their diversity. This
book includes many sophisticated adult, intellectual
vocabulary itemssome more immediately useful
than othersbut all the sorts of words that mature,
educated Korean adults know and that mature, edu-
cated learners of Korean as a foreign language would
likely want to be able to produce (or at least recog-
nize) once they have reached an advanced level in
Korean and have begun to learn Chinese characters.
Furthermore, since Korean does not give the Eng-
lish speaker as many shortcut vocabulary freebies
as does French or Spanish or German, it is a hard
fact of life that students need to spend more time on
vocabulary building, and this is precisely the point
of this book: to provide advanced learners with the
fundamentals of Chinese characters with a view to
building vocabulary.
It is also the view of the authors that some vo-
cabulary items cost more than others to learn. This
view is reflected in the layout of the vocabulary sec-
tions, where certain words are indented beneath
others to indicate that these items are related to the
main vocabulary item in question, and thus cost less
to learn.
Other features of the vocabulary sections to be
born in mind are these: (1) all verb bases are given
in the special notation introduced in King & Yeons
Elementary Korean; (2) processive and descriptive
bases are distinguished from each other by their
English glossesdescriptive verbs are always pre-
ceded by be (e.g. be blue, be sad), while processive
verbs are not.
About the English Translations and Glosses
In a number of cases the English translations of Ko-
rean expressions and patterns are structured to re-
semble as closely as possible the Korean meaning.
In some cases, students and teachers may feel that
certain English renditions are not typical English
usage. The authors ask for indulgence on this matter.

About Linguistic Symbols
Our use of linguistic symbols amounts to a special
kind of code which is designed to streamline the
learning process for the student, and to streamline
the book presentation. Once the teacher and stu-
dents have mastered the few simple symbols below,
they should have no trouble following the exposi-
tion in the book.
Symbol Comments
The dash is used to demarcate bounda-
ries and bound forms. Because the ab-
stract Korean verb stems (we call them
bases) to which students must attach
endings are all bound forms (that is,
they cannot be used and do not occur
in real speech without some ending),
verbs in each lessons Vocabulary List

form, followed by a dash to its right
(e.g., TT live). The same goes for

LEARNING :
Methodological and Sociolinguistic Premises and Preliminaries

If the field of Korean language pedagogy (
) as a whole is still rather young and lacking
in a wide variety of teaching materials for the An-
glophone learner, the question of Chinese charac-
ter education () within Korean language
education is even more under-researched, under-
theorized, and simply unprovided for. This Sino-Ko-
rean Companion hopes to become a useful resource
for the Anglophone learner commencing the study
of Chinese characters and their substantial role in
Korean.
But because this particular subfield of Korean
language pedagogy has been so neglected, and in
particular because of the significant changes in
the sociolinguistic status of Chinese characters in
South Korea in the past generation or two, it is nec-
essaryboth for the authors and for any potential
users of the book (whether as learners or as teach-
ers)to disclose here the main premises that un-
derlie the design and structure of this Sino-Korean
Companion.
First Things First: vs.
Common Korean parlance makes no clear distinc-
tion between the concepts OP and
OP. Technically speaking, the former should be
reserved for the meanings of Classical Chinese or
Literary Sinitic as a separate linguistic code, i.e.,
as a separate languagethe cosmopolitan written
language that bound together the Chinese charac-
ter cultural sphere or OP Chinese characters around you in daily life. In
in premodern times. Properly speaking, the term
should be reserved for the individual graphic
units themselvesthe Chinese characters divorced
from any particular language. In spoken Korean, it is
not unusual for a Korean to ask a Korean language
learner huddled over a manual, SG
Gf And it is not difficult to encounter
even well-educated Koreans who are convinced that
a good knowledge of is equivalent to knowing
. Nothing could be further from the truth!
This seemingly harmless conceptual muddle
has very real (and pernicious) consequences for
Chinese character education, both for Koreans
themselves and for non-Koreans learning Korean.
For Koreans themselves, this muddle has led to a
situation where the boundaries between Classical
Chinese, Sino-Korean holophrase (whole strings
plucked from Classical Chinese with the odd con-
cession to Korean in the form of a particle or two),
and Chinese characters become blurred, as school
curricula and extracurricular cram school programs
alike teach a mishmash of Chinese character-based
materials, including the OP (Thou-
sand Character Classic), stock phrases and famous
quotations (from, say, Mencius and Confucius),
and OP (Chinese poetry). This is confus-
ing enough for Korean schoolchildren, but creates
even more confusion if carried over to the teaching
of Chinese characters to non-Koreans still learning
Korean.
So let us be clear about our purpose here: this
book teaches the basics of Chinese characters (
), not . Except for just two or three com-
mon -based proverbs in Lesson 6, the focus
throughout is on individual Chinese characters as
they function in Korean word-building (in particu-
lar, on how they participate in creating binoms com-
posed of two Chinese characters).
Chinese Characters in Korean: Why Bother?
Travel to either North or South Korea today, and
you will see little evidence of extensive usage of
North Korea, you will be hard put to find any Chi-
nese characters at all in daily life, and such has been
the case since the late 1940s. In South Korea today,
the odd newspaper or current events magazine
(typically those of a more conservative, right-wing
persuasion) still uses (some) Chinese characters, as
do many academic publications in the humanities,
but the impression is that one can easily get by with-
out knowing them. So the obvious question is, why
bother? Here are some reasons.
346 LEARNING
The tradition
Korea and Koreans have been using Chinese char-
acters for more than two millennia. Educated Ko-
reans have always been well grounded in Chinese
characters, right up to the present day. Anybody
wishing to access written materials from South Ko-
rea before the mid-1980s, and from anywhere in
Korea before 1945, needs to know a lot of Chinese
characters. (Needless to say, anybody wishing to ac-
cess the written culture of Korea before 1910 also
needs to know .)
Korean schools (North and South) and your peers
Assuming that you, the reader, are a university-edu-
cated adult, your peers in both North and South Ko-
rea have finished obligatory middle and high school
curricula that include the study of at least 1,800
Chinese characters. Hatori (1991: 267268) shows
that while the banishing of Chinese characters from
everyday publications in North Korea started as
early as the end of 1946, Chinese character educa-
tion was revived there as early as 1953, starting with
grade 5, and has consistently trained North Korean
schoolchildren in a total of some 1,800 characters.
South Korean Chinese character education has
been less consistent, with a few years here and there
when they were dropped from school curricula, but
on the whole (and still today), South Korean high
school graduates have had to master some 1,800
Chinese characters.
orthography
Few Korean language textbooks for foreigners ever
devote much space to the incredibly important is-
sues of orthography and spelling, and when they
do, they might reveal that , as a true alphabet,
could theoretically be written in
fashion, i.e., linearly. In other words, the possibility
has always existed for, say, a word like to be
written as . So why has Korean never
adopted an orthography like this? Because of Chi-
nese characters. The practice of or group-
ing individual letters into syllables is both an
emulation of the graphic shape of Chinese charac-
ters and a provision to allow Chinese characters and
syllables to be mixed in the same text.
But Korean orthography assumes a knowledge
(however vague) of Chinese characters and their
Sino-Korean pronunciations and in yet another
fundamental way. Korean spelling is etymologically
based, meaning it attempts, wherever possible, to
render transparent graphically the etymology and/
or grammatical analysis of the words being writ-
ten. If Korean writing and spelling were truly pho-
neticas naive observers often claimwe would
expect spellings like , S and for what
are spelled ( national language), (
national writing system), and ( national
written graphs/letters). Chinese characters, and the
assumption that Koreans are aware of them (even
if they cannot write them), always lurk just beneath
the surface of Korean spelling.
Chinese characters in the East Asian twenty-first
century
While it was always well known that Chinese charac-
ters and Sino-xenic (Sino-foreign) word formation
played formative roles in the historical development
of the languages (especially their vocabularies) of
the Sinitic sphere (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and
Vietnamese for our purposes), for much of the
twentieth century there existed a strain of wishful
thinking that saw Chinese characters as a thing of
the past, doomed eventually to fade away in the face
of technological progress and modernization. This
same wishful thinking has been behind attempts
at script reform in China (the pinyin movement,
simplified characters), Japan (the romaji and kana
movements, reduction of number of characters
taught in schools), and the Koreas (successful ban-
ishment from public life in North Korea, mixed re-
sults in South Korea). Only Vietnam, it would seem,
has weaned itself off Chinese characters even in its
education system, but a huge percentage of the Vi-
etnamese lexicon is Sino-Vietnamese in origin, and
there are indications that Chinese characters and
Chinese character education are making a come-
back even in Vietnam.
The closing decades of the twentieth century and
the first decade of the twenty-first have witnessed
developments that have conspired to strengthen
rather than weaken the importance of Chinese
characters in Korea and Japan (and even Vietnam).
One is technology itself. Whereas in the old days,
one had to know how to write a Chinese character
in order to include it in a (handwritten) document,

today Chinese character-savvy word processing
software allows users to insert Chinese characters
at the push of a button (although one still needs
to choose the correct one out of a list). The same
pieces of software allow one to ascertain the ver-
nacular readings of characters one has forgotten (or
never learned). Instead of hastening the demise of
Chinese characters, computer technology has given
them a new lease on life.
Another development has been a growing anxi-
ety over the severed connection with tradition. For
example, when in 1999, the South Korean Kim Dae-
jung regime announced a new (and controversial)
policy of OP or parallel use of
and Chinese characters (with in paren-
theses) in official government documents and pub-
lic road signs, President Kim was quoted as saying
that if we ignore Chinese characters, we will have
trouble understanding our classics and traditions.
This policy met with shrill opposition in certain
quarters, and some cynical critics accused the sep-
tuagenarian president and his septuagenarian prime
minister, Kim Jong-pil, of being out of touch with
the new times and the younger generations.
But vociferous opposition to anything -
related in South Korea seems increasingly confined
to a minority of scripto-nationalists inclined to see
the world in black and white: = Korean/native
= good; = Chinese (and Japanese)/foreign =
bad. Meanwhile, yet another series of developments
has led increasing numbers of (South) Koreans to
invest time and money in learning Chinese charac-
ters: both the ongoing discourses of ( stituent components of numerous other Sino-Kore-
globalization) and ( internation- an vocabulary items.
alization) initiated by the Kim Young-sam regime in
the early 1990s, and the very tangible effects of these
two processes, however one wishes to understand
them. For South Koreans, it is all about the rise of
East Asia in the twenty-first century. Already in the
1990s, improved relations between South Korea
and Japan, and especially the opening up of South
Korea to Japanese cultural imports, led to a boom,
for example, in Koreans studying Japaneseand
therefore rediscovering no small amount of utility
in going back to review . More than anything
else, though, it has been the rise of China in the
East Asian and world economies that has convinced
South Koreans of the need for Chinese characters,
LEARNING 347
and this trend seems likely to continue unabated in
the foreseeable future. Nearly everybody is learning
in South Korea these days.
The Korean lexicon
Finally, a simple statistic. Depending on which ex-
perts and which dictionaries one consults, Sino-
Korean wordsKorean words that traditionally
have Chinese characters associated with them and
which can, in principle, be written in instead of
comprise anywhere from a minimum of 60
percent to a maximum of 75 percent of the Korean
lexicon.
Which Characters to Learn, How Many,
When, and How?
As simple as these questions may seem, they are in
fact complex, and we would claim that there is no
one correct answer to each of them. Instead, we can
only offer responses based on our own experience
learning and teaching Chinese characters in an An-
glophone context.
Which should be taught first?
It doesnt really matter. To be certain, Lesson 1
should not contain a barrage of complex characters
composed of umpteen stroke orders, nor should an
introductory book like this focus inordinately on
low-frequency that do not participate in exten-
sive word formation. Thus, we have tried to include,
on the whole, with relatively fewer strokes, of
relatively high frequency that can be found as con-
Some Korean language educators might main-
tain that a course like this should follow some
standardized list like, for example, the first few hun-
dred Chinese characters learned by South Korean
schoolchildren in the official government-approved
curriculum, or that it should adhere to some other
ranked listing like, for example, those of the various
OP or Chinese char-
acter proficiency exams popular these days in South
Korea. We reject any such notion for the simple rea-
son that the users of these materials are not South
Koreans.
Instead, the approach used here is system-
atic in its own way, based on the notion that the
348 LEARNING
learner is starting with materials he or she has al-
ready seenthe parallel universe with Advanced
Korean. In other words, we have tried to avoid a
learning environment where absolutely everything
encounteredvocabulary, Chinese characters, po-
litico-historical and cultural context, and structural
patternsis new and overwhelming. The learner
will quickly acquire a solid basis in Chinese char-
acters as well as the confidence and tools to tackle
more advanced Sino-Korean materials on his or her
own.
How many should an introductory course
teach?
Because it is well known that Korean high school
graduates are required to learn some 1,800 Chi-
nese characters, and given the need for non-Korean
learners to somehow catch up or make up for lost
time in comparison to the educated native speaker
models they are encouraged to emulate, one often
encounters a rushed, cramming approach to Chi-
nese character education; the more the better, and
the quicker the better. Our book, though, is in no
rush. Our teaching experience suggests that 500
over the course of two semesters is a reasonable
number, especially if the focus of learning is just as
much on the associated vocabulary and vocabulary-
building strategies as it is on the Chinese characters
themselves. Any learner who masters the 500
in this book will be well placed to go on and master
another 1,500 on his or her own.
When is the best time for the Anglophone learner
to start learning ?
Here again, one finds different approaches. For
example, Rogers et al.s College Korean (1992), the
UC-Berkeley elementary Korean textbook, starts
introducing about six to ten Chinese characters each
lesson with Lesson 7, for a total of 142 in this first-
year course. But it is difficult to imagine a good ped-
agogical reason for introducing Chinese characters
in the first year of a Korean language course, even
if one makes this portion optional, as the Berke-
ley authors do. Our view is this: native speakers of
Korean in the two Koreas do not start learning
until elementary school (sometimes later), after
they have already mastered all the basic patterns and
vocabulary of their native tongue. Moreover, when
they begin to learn Chinese characters, they are, for
the most part, learning the for Korean words
that they already know. The authors of this book are
by no means claiming that L2 (foreign) learners of
Korean should somehow follow a language-acqui-
sition trajectory identical to that of an L1 (native
speaker) learner, but it seems eminently reason-
able to hold off until at least the intermediate lev-
eli.e., until after two years of non-intensive or one
year of intensive instructionbefore tackling .
In this way, the learner is guaranteed a minimum
comfort zone and at least a modicum of that Hey, I
know this word already, but didnt know it was Sino-
Korean feeling. In short, non-Korean learners of
Korean have their hands full as it is; lets hold off on
Chinese characters until they know the basics, and
embed the in texts simple enough to allow the
learners to focus on the .
How should be taught?
Simple: analytically and without mystification.
Thus, students need to learn from the very begin-
ning that the vast majority of Chinese characters are
composed of two elements: a semantic determina-
tive and a phonetic determinative. The semantic
determinatives, also known as semantic classifiers,
are usually referred to, somewhat inaccurately, as
radicals, and provide a very general idea as to the
meaning of the character concerned. The phonetic
determinative (phonetic for short, usually called
basic reading or phonetic element, in
Korean), by contrast, gives a hint as to the pro-
nunciation of the character. Learners of Korean, in
particular, are well served by attention to phonetic
determinatives because of the conservative nature
of Sino-Korean phonology. Thus, Korean language
learners get more mileage out of paying attention
to the phonetic determinatives than do learners of
Mandarin or Japanese, and this book introduces
some 250 of them.
For example, in Lesson 1 the student encounters
this character: GGOPU This character is com-
posed of the speech radical plus the phonetic
element G OP, a component that shows up in
other characters like , , , etc. The beginning
learner of need not learn these other charac-
ters, but benefits from knowledge of the high prob-
ability that any character with the element in it is

likely pronounced []. To put it another way:
The failure [in Chinese writing] to develop a
standardized set of syllabic signs, together with
the elevation of the radicals to the position of key
elements in the filing of characters in dictionaries,
have combined to create a system whose complexity
masks a partial regularity. (DeFrancis 2002: 11)
The partial regularity DeFrancis alludes to lies in the
phonetic determinatives, and this partial regularity
is at its most robust in Sino-Korean (compared to
Mandarin or Japanese). So one noteworthy feature
of this book is that it points out phonetic elements
whenever possible.
How Is This Book Different from Others?
The ideographic myth
For starters, we differ from traditional accounts in
eschewing any reference to Chinese characters as
pictograms or ideograms. As Boltz (2003: 34)
points out, Chinese characters with pictographic
origins comprise only a tiny fraction of the total
number, and we see little utility in perpetuating
what many scholars have come to designate as the
ideogram myth: as DeFrancis (2002: 3) and Un-
ger (1990: 395396), among others, have shown,
ideogram is a concept dreamed up by Western-
ers and taken over from them in last century or so
by the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. Erbaugh
(2002: 24) is unequivocal on this point: Invoking
the ideographic myth should by now be as embar-
rassing as the flat earth hypothesis.
Our book also differs from traditional approach-
es in its attitude toward the typological classifica-
tion of Chinese characters. Most textbooks
start by teaching about the OPthe Six
Categories or six [forms of] scripta typology of
Chinese characters that dates back to the last dec-
ades of the first century BC (see Boltz 2003: 143
149). While there is no harm in knowing about this
as cultural history, it has little pedagogical value to-
day. So here they are (from Boltz 2003: 143149),
GOP: indicating the matter
GOP: representing the form
GOP: formulating the sound
GOP: conjoining the sense
LEARNING 349
GOP: revolved and re-directed [graphs]
GOP: loaned and borrowed [graphs]
As Erbaugh (2002: 47) notes, two of these six tra-
ditional categories reinforce the ideographic myth:
(1) characters categorized under the G OP
indicating the matter category such as GOP up;
on and G OP down; under, and (2) the so-called
GOP or pictograph characters like GOP
sun and GOP moon.
Thus, rather than reinforce an ideographic myth
that mystifies and orientalizes Chinese characters
with little or pedagogical payoff, we stick to an ana-
lytic approach. Of course, any tricks, visuals, or
mnemonic devices that can aid a learner in remem-
bering the characters are fair game; but they are just
thattricksand not an inherent feature of Chi-
nese writing.
Lists vs. readers
The study materials found on this CD-ROM differ
somewhat in format from the materials in Sino-Ko-
rean textbooks currently on the market, which are
all in reader format with numerous short canned
(inauthentic) texts carrying the Chinese characters
to be learned, followed by various short exercises.
Our materials also feature lessons that start with a
canned text, but our Main Texts are previously
studied texts from a parallel universe. Moreover,
our lessons feature numerous lists structured so as
to maximize vocabulary learning. We also encour-
age learners to use online resources to seek out
authentic examples-in-context of the Sino-Korean
vocabulary they are learning.
The point of this books emphasis on vocabu-
lary lists is this: the focus is not so much on learn-
ing individual as it is on acquiring intuitions
about webs of interconnected vocabulary that
help create. These networks of vocabulary items
are more important than the individual characters,
and in Korean, especially, they are more important
than being able to write the individual characters:
i.e., it is more important to have an appreciation
of the different words that include G G OP
nation, country in themand be able to reproduce
them in just than it is to be able to repro-
duce the Chinese character itself. In other words,
knowing how a character is written has very little
value in the modern Korean society (Kim 2001:
350 LEARNING
ii), but all learners of Korean, benefit from learning
the written form of the Chinese characters as part of
the vocabulary-building process.
The questions of authenticity and target audience
Authenticity is a key concept in language edu-
cation these days. The more authentic teaching
materials are, and the more advanced learners be-
come, the more desirable it is to base pedagogy on
authentic teaching materials. But what does it mean
to use authentic materials for a beginning course
in Sino-Korean? And who are the learners wanting
to learn Chinese characters in their Korean read-
ings? In earlier days, when Chinese characters had
greater visibility in South Korean print culture, the
answer to the authenticity question was easy: use
newspaper articles and editorials and/or academic
materials. But current events articles, editorials, and
academic materials quickly grow outdated, and in
any case, nowadays fewer and fewer newspapers use
Chinese characters; even academic materials tend
to use them much less, or else employ parallel
OP or OP formats. speakers eye is of little consequence.
As for the target audience question, Anglo-
phone Korean language students today are differ-
ent from the tiny handful of students in the 1980s
who were the intended consumers of books like
Lukoff (1982/1989) and Francis Park (1984). Lu-
koff s book, with its 1,200 , was academically
focused and targeted at rather specialized, typically
nonheritage, Korean studies students who, if they
werent already graduate students, were likely con-
sidering graduate school and/or otherwise needed
training in academic Korean with a heavy Sino-Ko-
rean focus. And Parks book, with a staggering 1,554
different , was designed originally for intensive
in-country training courses for Maryknoll mission-
aries. But nowadays both the numbers and diver-
sity of Anglophone Korean language learners have
increased dramatically, making it more difficult to
pinpoint with any accuracy appropriately authen-
tic materials for learning .
The upshot of all this, we would claim, is that it
makes no sense to worry about the authenticity
of ones reading texts in a course like this, as long
as they help the student learn and build the
students vocabulary. (On the other hand, this Sino-
Korean Companion is an ideal springboard for stu-
dents who, on completion of the course, want to
work with materials like the Lukoff or Park books.)
Given then, that authenticity is a pie in the sky
for a beginning textbook, we have adopted one
more unauthentic convention in the Main Texts for
each lesson. Because this is a beginning course with
a closed and (relatively) manageable set of , it
is easy to track which are known and which
are not with the vocabulary items in each Main
Text. Sometimes, then, it can happen that a binom
(e.g., G ancestor(s) andG G life in Lesson 6)
contains one character either previously learned
or targeted for learning in the current lesson, and
another which has not been studied yet. In cases
like this, we apply a mix-and-match format:
and . By Lesson 6, the students have already
learned GGOP and GGOP, so why not
write at least these characters that they know, and
allow for some review? The point is to constantly
analyze out the building blocks of the Korean
lexicon. That such an ad hoc orthographic practice
might jar the traditionally educated Korean native
Writing the characters
On the other hand, it is authentic, in a Korean cul-
tural context, to de-emphasize the ability to write
from memory every character one has ever learned.
Highly educated Koreans with significant Sino-Ko-
rean reading abilities, able to recognize hundreds of
Chinese characters rarely, if ever, show the apparent
shame often displayed by educated speakers of Chi-
nese or Japanese when they slip up on or forget how
to write a Chinese character. Horrors! they say.
But the Koreans reaction is a shrug and a dismissive
Whateverweve got , the worlds greatest
writing system ever!
Having said this, it is nonetheless important to
learn both the correct strokes and the proper stroke
orders and to practice writing the characters, and
provisions are made for this in the Sino-Korean Com-
panion. To that end, we also give here some general
guidelines on basic strokes and stroke-order.
The Eight Basic Strokes as Exemplified by GGOP
Just as one can analyze out and distinguish different
strokes in, say, English cursive handwriting or in

shorthand, it is possible to distinguish a number of
strokes basic to the writing of Chinese characters.
One traditional method for teaching the most basic
stroke types is called OP, i.e.,
the eight ways [of writing] of the Chinese character
. Technically speaking, this character has a total
stroke count of five:
But from a calligraphic point of view, it actually has
eight hand motions, all of which are basic to the
writing of Chinese characters (and each of which
has a name, for the real calligraphy buffsfor
details, see or the Korean Wikipedia,
whence the image below):
General Guidelines for Stroke Order
