This scholarly work details the history of the development of Korean [[linguistics]] and related research achievements.<ref name=":3" /> It was first published in January 1938, while Yun-kyong Kim was incarcerated due to the Self-Cultivation Friendship Association incident (see "Biography: Later life and death"), by the Joseon Memorial Library Publishing House ({{korean|hangul=조선기념도서출판관|hanja=朝鮮紀念圖書出版館|labels=no}}).

The content is divided into two main parts: the Introductory Section and the Main Discussion. The Introductory Section covers the classification of languages, characteristics of the [[Ural-Altaic languages|Ural-Altaic language]] family, the scope of the Korean language, and the origins and types of scripts. The Main Discussion is split into two chapters: Scripts before the Invention of [[Hunminjeongeum]] (훈민정음) and Hunminjeongeum. The latter chapter elaborates on the script's name, reasons for its creation, thoughtful considerations during its development, its properties, its value, various theories about its origin, and a summary of changes since its distribution. Additionally, this chapter explores the main text of the book ''Hunminjeongeum'' (훈민정음).<ref name=":5" />

=== ''Korean Grammar'' (나라말본, 1948) ===

Employing his analytical perspective on language, Yun-kyong Kim developed the grammatical system of Si-gyeong Ju, which led to the publication of ''Grammar of Joseon Language'' (조선말본) in 1926, ''Grammar of Hangul'' (한글말본) in 1946, and ''Korean Grammar'' (나라말본) in 1948. The latter, ''Korean Grammar'' (나라말본, 1948), is considered as the culmination of Kim’s grammatical system. Compiled as a textbook for middle and high school students, this work is the final grammar book to be published, written from a structuralist and analytical linguistic perspective. It is noted for its infusion of a normative linguistic view based on nationalism.<ref name=":6">"Korean{{Citation Grammar|last=장 [|first=세경 |title=나라말본 (나라말本)]," |work=[[Encyclopedia of Korean Culture [한국민족문화대백과사전], accessed June 10, 2024,] |url=https://encykorea.aks.ac.kr/Article/E0011317. |access-date=2024-07-28 |publisher=[[Academy of Korean Studies]] |language=ko}}</ref>

It is structured into three main parts: Sori-gal (소리갈; [[phonetics]] and [[phonology]]), Ssi-gal (씨갈; [[Morphology (linguistics)|morphology]]), and Wol-gal (월갈; [[syntax]]).
