Abstract
This chapter closes the Handbook by discussing what we currently know about the interplay between the Korean spoken and written languages, how the script-specificity of Hangul characterizes text processing and literacy, and what is expected to be known through further research. Due to the unique characteristics of the writing system, Korean and Hangul provide a useful testing ground for universality and script-specificity involved in text processing and literacy acquisition. Theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical implications are discussed.
