@cite{wals-2013}
Korean (Koreanic): no definite or indefinite articles (topic marker -un/-nun sometimes conveys definiteness pragmatically); three-way person-oriented demonstrative system: i (near speaker), ku (near hearer), ce (away from both); different stems — pronominal demonstratives formed by combining i/ku/ce with a "defective noun" like il (thing/fact); 3rd-person pronoun ku related to medial demonstrative ku.
