| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Brand - History Brands in the field of marketing originated in the 19th century with the advent of packaged goods. Industrialization moved the production of many household items, such as soap, from local communities to centralized factories. These factories, generating mass-produced goods, needed to sell their products to a wider market, to a customer base familiar only with local goods.

The packaged goods manufacturers needed to convince the market that the public could place just as muc ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Hanja - History A major impetus for the introduction of Chinese characters into Korea was the spread of Buddhism. These characters were modified to fit the Korean grammar, then later introduced to the Japanese language. The major text that introduced Hanja to Koreans, however, was not a religious work but the Cheonjamun (Thousand Character Classic). Hanja was the sole means of writing Korean until King Sejong the Great invented hangul in the 15th century. However, even after the invention of hangul, most Korean scho ...

Hangul consists of 24 letters — 14 consonants and 10 vowels that are written in syllabic blocks of 2 to 5 components. Unlike the Chinese writing system (including Japanese Kanji), Hangul is not an ideographic system. ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Korean language - Classification and related languages Korean classification is often debated. Many Korean and Western linguists recognize a kinship to the Altaic languages. However, this is not well demonstrated, and many consider Korean a language isolate. Others believe that Japanese and Korean may be related.
The Korean relationship with Altaic and proto-Altaic have been much argued as of late. Korean is similar to Altaic languages in that they both have the absence of certain grammatical elements, including number, gender, articles, fusional morphology, voice, and relative pronouns (Kim Namkil). Korean especially bears some morphological resembla ...

| | | | | Names of Korea: Encyclopedia II - Korean language - Grammar Korean is an agglutinative language. The basic form of a Korean sentence is Subject-Object-Verb (SOV), and modifiers precede the modified word. As a side note, a sentence can break the SOV word order, however, it must end with the verb. In contrast to the Korean word order, in English, one would say, "I'm going to the store to buy some food," in Korean it would be: *"I food to-buy in-order-to store-to going-am."
In Korean, "unnecessary" words (see theme and rheme) can be left out of a sentence as long as the context makes the meaning ...
