Fred Lukoff (November 12, 1920 - August 13, 2000) was an
American linguist who specialized in the study of the
Korean language and was the first president of the International Association for Korean Language Education (IAKLE).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. After receiving his Ph.D., he joined the
MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics to work on
machine translation under
Victor Yngve, where, in 1956, he wrote a seminal paper on generative
phonology, "On accent and juncture in English," with
Noam Chomsky and
Morris Halle. He subsequently taught at
Yonsei University in
Seoul for several years, and spent the rest of his career at the
University of Washington in
Seattle until his retirement in 1989.
