Fred Lukoff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fred Lukoff (November 12, 1920 - August 13, 2000) was an American linguist who specialized in the study of the Korean language.
A student of Zellig Harris, with whom he wrote "The phonemes of Kingwana-Swahili" in 1942, Lukoff received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1947, his master's from the same institution in 1948, and his doctorate--also from Penn--in 1954.[1] At MIT in 1956, he wrote a seminal paper on generative phonology, "On accent and juncture in English," with Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle. He taught at Yonsei University in Seoul for several years, and spent the rest of his career at the University of Washington until his retirement in 1989.
He authored several textbooks for non-native speakers learning Korean, including An Introductory Course in Korean, Spoken Korean, and A First Reader in Korean Writing in Mixed Script.
