How Koreans Speak the English Language Analytical Essay by Top Papers

This paper looks at the differences between English and Korean as it pertains to three things: grammatical structure (word order); the use of English articles a, an, and the; and the demarcation of gender. The relevant linguistic properties for the three phenomena are described as follows: in the English language, the word order is subject, verb and object; in Korean, it is subject, object and then verb. The paper also discusses how people in English know when to use the indirect and direct article when speaking, but ESL learners may not know this; as far as the demarcation of gender goes, the pronouns, "he," and "she" do not exist in the Korean language. In fact, the paper notes that for the most part, there is no demarcation of gender in the Korean language.
