A Review of the Studies in English Linguistics from Studies in British and American Language and Literature

This study aims to show the trends of studies in English linguistics in Korean for the last six decades. We reviewed and analyzed the 220 linguistic articles published in Studies in British and American Language and Literature since 1960. First of all, it was found that linguistic research has been developed in quality as well as quantity in Korea. In the early period, Korean scholars adopted and introduced the data and the theories that western scholars already worked on. Later, they tested various theoretical frames on English and Korean data and began to conduct their own unique studies in linguistics. The topics have been elaborated into the details of language and additionally, empirical evidence has been embraced to guarantee the replicability as scientific studies. Lastly, linguistic studies in Korea have attempted to keep up with the trends in other academic fields and the society.
