The purpose of this study was to explore discursive-epistemic mechanisms in high school earth science lessons. A total of 11 video recordings of earth science lessons were collected from three inservice high school teachers. The video recordings were all transcribed and analyzed by employing the discourse analysis framework used in relevant previous studies. In analysis, we identified discursive-epistemic mechanisms as functional assemblies for fulfilling particular epistemic functions in the earth science lessons. The characteristics of these mechanisms were described according to their epistemic functions. The findings of the study were compared with those of previous studies to highlight the characteristics of discursive-epistemic mechanisms in the earth science classrooms. Analyses of middle school science lessons and of science lessons in alternative forms, as well as studies using extended research methods such as indepth interviews with teachers, were suggested as implications for future research.

A brief survey of linguistic studies on the nature of contrastive information in discourse was Presented first, and an attempt was also made to incorporate the Linguistic theories and concepts about contrast in discourse into a psychological framework. A tentative model of processing of contrastive information in discourse was Proposed, and eight experimental studies on the effects of contrastive information on comprehension and memory of short and ions discourses were reviewed. Experimental results showed that contrastive sentences took more time to process at encoding, and yet were recognized faster and cued-recalled in greater amount than noncontrastive sentences. It was also found that levels of contrast in the discourse structure have some effects on encoding time. It was further found that the sentence immediately following the contrastive sentence was processed slowly regardless of whether it does or does not resolve the contrast. The implications of the results of empirical studies were discussed in relation to developing a research framework that integrate coherence studies and contrast studies urns the two disciplines of linguistics and cognitive psychology.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the interactive patterns between teacher and students in middle school earthh science classroom, identify difference of discourse types between earthh science classes taught by majored and non-majored teacher, find the relationship between the discourse pattern and the type of teachers' questions. For that purpose, the participants in this study included four teachers and their students of three middle schools in Seoul. The data consisted of two parts. First, we categorized interaction between teacher and students into the types of discourses by the use of Mortimer and Scott's analytical framework(2003). Second, we classified teachers' questions into four different types of question based on MNeill & Pimentel's classification scheme(2009) to examine for the relationship between the discourse pattern and the type of teachers' questions. As a result, all teachers used interactive/authoritative discourse most in middle school earth science class. Therefore, there was more authoritative discourse to non-majored teacher in comparison with majored teacher. And study demonstrated that the discourse pattern was more related to feedback about student's response rather than the type of teachers' question. In other words, the dialogic discourse showed up more frequently when the teacher used delayed feedback with positive and accepting attitude.

Mathematical communication has been emphasized not only as the process of learning mathematics but also as the objective of mathematics education. However, little studies have been conducted with regard to what to consider and how to implement in the actual classroom for promoting mathematical communication. Given this background, this paper implemented a mathematics instruction in each of 2nd, 4th, and 6th grade classrooms in which specific learning objectives were considered to promote discourse-based mathematical communication. It then analyzed the degree by which such learning objectives were achieved and the linguistic interactions between the teacher and students in each classroom. This paper finally provided issues and suggestions for effective discourse-based instruction in mathematics classroom by analyzing similarities and differences among the three classrooms.

The study presented in this paper, which serves as a pilot study for a future comprehensive project, was to investigate how students deal with the concepts of infinity and limit. Based on the communicational approach to cognition, according to which mathematics is a kind of discourse, we tried to identify the characteristics of students' discourse on the topics. Four American and four Korean students were interviewed in English on limits and infinity and their discourse was scrutinized with an eye to common characteristics as well as culture, age, and education-related differences.

인간의 경험에 대한 지각은 다양하다. 일차원적인 직접 경험에 대한 것은 확신의 문제이다. 또한 보편적인 다른 경험은 알게 되면서 인식하는 또 다른 경험의 결과이다. 미디어에서 또한 리얼리티의 담화 작용을 통해 수용자에게 경험에 대한 인식과 가치를 제공하고, 새로운 간접 경험에 대한 경험을 재현을 통해서 그 의미를 전달하고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 리얼리티의 담화작용과 의미전달에 있어서 수용자의 믿음적 상징체계의 특성과 사회문화적 현상을 고찰하고자 한다.

50개의 담화단독 문장과 연속발성 문장을 대상으로 무장의 첫 어절과 마지막 어절에서의 첫 음절과 마지막 음절의 운율특징을 조사하였다. 이를 체계적으로 살펴 보기 위하여 각 어절에서의 마지막 음절의 음향변수에 대한 첫 음절의 음향변수의 비율을 얻은 뒤 이를 대상으로 하여 평균값과 분포를 구하였다. 지속시간의 경우 두 스타일 간에 주목할 만한 큰 차이점은 없었으나 담화 연속 문장의 문두에서 화자의 조음시간 프로그래밍이 약간 조화롭지 못함을 알 수 있었다. Fo는 마지막 어절 부분의 비율값이 두 스타일간 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며 운율자질로 기능할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다. 에너지는 Fo와 유사한 분포경향을 보인다. 문미 어절의 마지막 음절이 첫 음절의 약 85% 정도의 힘으로 발성됨을 알 수 있고, 담화 연속 발화의 마지막 어절에서 단독 발화문보다 상대적으로 강하게 조음되었음을 알 수 있었다.

이 논문에서는 국지적인 대명사의 해결을 위한 이론적인 틀로 널리 알려진 중심화이론의 여러 이론적인 장치들을 정보포장이론에 도입함으로써 정보포장이론을 통제 정보포장이론이라는 새로운 담화의미론으로 발전시킬 수 있음을 보이고자 한다. 이로써 한국어 담화상에 나타나는 대명사의 선행사 탐색이 상당히 설득력있게 이루어질 수 있음을 보인다. 이를 위해 먼저 제한된 영역대화라 할 수 있는 호텔예약대화에 나타나는 영대명사의 특성에 대해 논의한다. 이어서, 대명사 해결과 관련하여 정보구조가 중심화이론의 주요 구성요소인 전향적 중심리스트 서열 구성에 직접 반영되어야 함을 보인다. 마지막으로 대명사의 선행사는 대명사를 담화통어할 수 있는 위치에 있어야 한다는 담화통어제약을 제안하여 광역대화에 나타나는 명시적인 대명사의 해결을 위한 하나의 대안을 제시한다.

음성은 컴퓨터로 대변되는 기계와 사람 그리고 기계를 매개로 한 사람과 사람의 상호작용에서 가장 쉽고 직관적인 인터페이스로 널리 활용되고 있다. 인간에게 음성정보를 제공하는 음성합성 분야에서는 합성결과의 자연스러움과 인식성이 시스템의 주요 평가요소로 활용되고 있는데 이러한 자연스러움과 인식성은 합성결과의 정확성뿐만 아니라 발화환경이나 발화자의 발화특징 혹은 감정상태 등에 의해 많은 영향을 받게 된다. 담화표지는 문장의 명제 내용에는 직접 관여하지 않으면서 화자의 발화 의도나 심리적 태도를 전달하는 구성 요소를 말하는데 본 논문에서는 담화표지가 포함된 대화 음성 데이터를 수집하여 담화표지의 음성언어적인 특징을 분석하고 분석된 결과를 음성합성 시스템에 활용하는 표현방식에 대해 논의한다.

This study analyzed discourse types and meaning making strategies used in a secondary beginning science teacher's class. A voluntary middle school science teacher participated in this study, and her instruction was observed and videotaped. The analysis consisted of two parts. First, we categorized the types of discourses occurred in class. Second, we examined her instructional strategies used through meaning making practices at the micro-level. Results indicated that there were five episodes emerged representing different discourse types and meaning making strategies in the beginning teacher's lesson about 'the pathway and property of light'. Conclusion and implications for further study and teacher professional development were presented in the paper.
