[net.ai] Hangul

blackwel@bgsuvax.UUCP (Simon Blackwell) (03/22/85)

Not only is the written language of Korea, Hangul, a beautifully
structured language, the semantics of the Korean language are quite
logical. For instance: `neck' is `mok', `hand' is `son', `wrist' is
`son mok', `foot' is `pal', `ankle' is `pal mok', `head' is `mori',
`hair' is `mori karak', `fingers' .... , `toes' ....

It is also interesting that there is a fairly strong interest in
logical positivism in Korea, an area of philosophy that many AI people
should probably investigate further.
