Korean Newspaper Reader
Publisher: Dunwoody Press, 2007
Book: www.dunwoodypress.com
Audio: www.dunwoodypress.com
ISBN: 978-1-931546-37-9
Number of Pages: 293
Introduction: (downloadable pdf  )
This reader presents fifty selections from Korean newspaper articles that appeared between 2004 and 2007. Half the articles are from North Korean sources, half from South Korean ones, and they alternate in that order on the same subject matter, or at least on similar themes, throughout the reader. The main focus has naturally and inevitably been on the tense military and political situation of the divided peninsula, but an effort has been made to include as broad a range of other topics as this limited space will permit. |

English French Spanish German Dictionary
Publisher: Librairie du Liban, 2006
Text: www.ldlp.com
ISBN: 9953-86-056-4
Number of pages: 735
Preface: (downloadable pdf )
Given the obvious value of a comprehensive multilingual dictionary, there have been relatively few attempts at compiling one. While most of those that have been offered in the past have been quite interesting for the philologically minded to peruse, they have been of little practical use, for they have most often been simple word lists with scant accompanying grammatical information and no real effort to distinguish between various employments of the same word.

A Historical, Literary, and Cultural Approach to the Korean Language
Co-author: Jonrok Kim
Publisher: Hollym, 2000
Text and Cassettes: www.hollym.com
ISBN: 1-56591-151-2
Number of pages: 318
Preface: (downloadable pdf )
Because the grammar, morphology, syntax, phonetics, social-linguistic aspects, script, and vocabulary of Korean are all vastly different from those of any Indo-European language, Korean is a particularly difficult language for Westerners to acquire. The number of foreigners who have ever successfully learned the language is quite small. For every one who does so, there are scores of others who live in the country for years or even decades without even gaining a foothold in it. |

Viking Dreams: Mythological and Religious Dream Symbolism in the Old Norse Sagas
University of Chicago Doctoral Dissertation, 1994
UMI Dissertation Services Order Number: 9425353
www.umi.com
Number of Pages: 460
Advisor: Wendy Doniger, Mircea Eliade Professor of the History of Religions
Abstract: (downloadable pdf )
Prevailing scholarly consensus is that the symbols, themes, and presentation of dreams in the Old Norse sagas are derived from medieval Christian culture in general and from the Somniale Danielis, a medieval symbolic dreambook, in particular. My thesis is that Norse dreams are not derivative from this work, but are reflective of a separate oneirocritic tradition that is rooted in pre-Christian Scandinavian pagan mythological imagery. |
