About The Joongwon Linguistic Society of Korea: The Joongwon Linguistic Society of Korea (JWL) was founded in 1994. Since then, JWL has made great strides thanks to the devoted efforts of all the members. Studies in Linguistics, the journal of our society first published in 1997, was selected as a candidate for the registered journals of Korea Research Foundation in 2009, and was promoted to a registered journal in 2013. JWL, which has played a leading role in the development of linguistics and related studies in Korea, continues to make efforts to achieve a greater academic leap forward both at home and abroad.
