This study aims to understand the experiences of remarried elderly from the social, cultural point of view. The study subjects were randomly selected 3 remarried couples with age higher than 65 who could express their experience enough. This study adapted qualitative study with grounded theory method by Strauss and Corbin(1998), which deducted 126 significant sentences from the testimony of participants and classified those into 48 topics and categorized into 16. As for the study result, the main phenomenon was the "ambivalence of marriage" and the mediation conditions for controlling were "trust and acknowledgement of spouse and family", and "proper compensation", and the reaction/mutual reaction strategy to correspond to this situation was "to put effort to understand spouse". Such results will contribute to understanding the essence of marriage adjustment of remarried elderly, and are expected to be the fundamental material to tend to realistic problems that the widowed elderly face and to lead successfully remarriage.

Multicultural family members have difficulty in educating their children due to language differences. In order to solve these difficulties, it is necessary to provide smart translation services that enable them easily and quickly access real-life vocabularies. However, the current automatic translation technology is being developed in dominant languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. There are also limitations to translating special-purpose terms such as documents of schools and instructions of public institutions. In this study, we propose a real-time automatic word translation service for multicultural family members who understand beginner level Korean. The service automatically analyzes the semantics of each word in the Korean sentences and provides a word-by-word translation. This study includes semantic analysis research for Korean language, building multilingual translation knowledge, and fusion study of language education. We evaluated the word translation service for migrant women from Vietnam and Japan and obtained meaningful evaluation results.

Sign-language communication can be a useful way of exchanging message between people who using different languages. In this paper, we report an experimental survey on the construction of a Korean-Japanese sign-language communication system using 3D model. For real-time communication, we introduced an intelligent communication method and built the system as a client-server architecture on the Internet. A character model is stored previously in the clients and a series of animation parameters are sent instead of real image data. The input-sentence is converted into a series of parameters of Korean sign language or Japanese sign language at server. The parameters are transmitted to clients and used for generating the animation. We also employ the emotional expressions, variable frames allocation method, and a cubic spline interpolation for the purpose of enhancing the reality of animation. The proposed system is implemented with Visual $C^{++}$ and Open Inventor library on Windows platform. Experimental results show a possibility that the system could be used as a non-verbal communication means beyond the linguistic barrier.

Coordinate constructions in natural language pose a number of difficulties to natural language processing units, due to the increased complexity of syntactic analysis, the syntactic ambiguity of the involved lexical items, and the apparent deletion of predicates in various places. In this paper, we address the syntactic characteristics of the coordinate constructions in Korean from the viewpoint of constructing a competence grammar, and present a version of combinatory categorial grammar for the analysis of coordinate constructions in Korean. We also show how to utilize a unified lexicon in the proposed grammar formalism in deriving the sentential semantics and associated information structures as well, in order to capture the discourse functions of coordinate constructions in Korean. The presented analysis conforms to the common wisdom that coordinate constructions are utilized in language not simply to reduce multiple sentences to a single sentence, but also to convey the information of contrast. Finally, we provide an analysis of sample corpora for the frequency of coordinate constructions in Korean and discuss some problematic cases.

This study suggests one of English teaching methods to improve English speaking proficiency for adult English learners. Contrary to the traditional English conversation teaching trends such as memorization of specific patterns or grammar-focused practices, the study introduces a storytelling based teaching of English speaking. To theoretically support the storytelling based English speaking teaching, the study investigates the possibility of the teaching method in three ways. First, the 12 speaking strategies focusing on contents of a story are introduced in the way of securing speech amounts as much as possible. Next, the five rhetoric components by Aristotle are introduced to relate to the storytelling teaching for the purpose of achieving the goal of speaking, which is to deliver what a speaker want to say more persuasively. Finally, through the investigation of the learner strategy uses, the possibility of storytelling English speaking teaching can be expected regardless of learners' low level of English proficiency.

The use of social media is already essential as a source of information for listening user's various opinions and monitoring. We define social 'risks' that issues effect negative influences for public opinion in social media. This paper aims to discriminate various linguistic features and reveal their effects for building an automatic classification model of social risks. Expecially we adopt a word embedding technique for representation of linguistic clues in risk sentences. As a preliminary experiment to analyze characteristics of individual features, we revise errors in automatic linguistic analysis. At the result, the most important feature is NE (Named Entity) information and the best condition is when combine basic linguistic features. word embedding, and word clusters within core predicates. Experimental results under the real situation in social bigdata - including linguistic analysis errors - show 92.08% and 85.84% in precision respectively for frequent risk categories set and full test set.

HyGIS는 DEM 기반의 수문지형처리를 중심으로 다양한 모형을 연계할 수 있도록 구성된 S/W 모음이다. 이는 한국건설기술연구원을 비롯한 다수의 기관 및 연구원들이 노력한 성과물이다. 본 연구는 기존 HyGIS 연구과정에서 도출된 성과물의 실용화 사업화를 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 S/W 테스팅, 오픈소스 도입, 클라우드 컴퓨팅으로 나누어 접근하였다. 먼저 S/W의 테스팅에 있어서 기존 개발 소스코드는 블랙박스 테스트 방식의 동등 클래스 분할, 경계 값 분석 등 일부 모듈에 대한 단위 테스트와 제한적인 통합테스트가 수행된 바 있다. 보다 체계적인 테스트 단계로서 화이트박스 테스트 개념 중 문장/분기/조건 커버리지에 대하여 검토하였으며, 실제 소스코드 중 핵심 구간에 대한 적용 및 정량화를 통하여 현 수준을 객관적으로 진단하였고 보완 방안을 도출하였다. 오픈소스 적용을 위하여 QGIS, MapWindow 등 공간정보 분야의 최신 오픈소스 모듈을 비교 검토하였다. 적용 단계는 이를 기존 HyGIS S/W에 반영시키는 과정이며, S/W 관점에서는 컴포넌트 모듈의 대체라고 표현될 수 있다. 대규모의 전환 비용이 발생되므로 적용 후보에 대하여는 기능적 측면 뿐만 아니라 마이그레이션 비용과 중장기적인 유지보수 비용을 고려한 검토가 이루어 졌다. 한편 오픈소스 기술의 적용은 단순히 구성 요소 원가절감 측면만이 아닌, 중장기적 유지보수 체계 도모 및 지속가능한 생태계로의 전환에 더 큰 의의가 있다. 마지막으로 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술의 적용 분야이다. HyGIS 입력 Data의 공급을 위한 인프라로서 자체 구축 인프라가 아닌 IaaS 클라우드인 Blob Storage 및 CDN을 시험 적용하였다. 클라우드를 활용함으로써 초기 비용을 최소화하고 합리적 비용으로 유연한 확장이 가능한(Scale Out, Scale Up) 구조를 취하게 되었다. 또한 입력 Data 공급 서버를 위한 Storage 측면만이 아니라 S/W의 배포에 있어서도 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 활용하고자 시도하였다. 클라우드 기술을 활용하여 HyGIS S/W가 설치된 VM(Virtual Machine)자체를 임대하는 방식으로 시험 구성 되었다. VM에 대한 RDP 프로토콜 Access에 있어서 IP기반 접근 제어를 통하여 보안을 강화하는 방안을 실험하였으며, ISO 27001, ISO 27018 등 관련 보안 규정에 부합하는 서비스 제공이 가능하도록 검토하였다. 이러한 클라우드 VM방식 서비스를 통하여 Package형 S/W 뿐만 아니라 Subscription 방식의 서비스 제공 방식을 병행할 수 있다. 사용자에게는 S/W 설치 및 H/W Lock 구비 과정이 생략되는 이점이 있다.

This study presents a comparative analysis of the calligrammic poetic dictions shown in the poems of the French poets Guillaume Apollinaire and Paul Eluard and in those of the Korean poet Lee Sang. They were adventurers in the avant-garde movement who used experimental techniques that led to futurism, expressionism, cubism, dadaism, and surrealism. They applied a typographic technique that combined pictorial arrangements of fonts, shapes of compositions and between lines, letters of the alphabet, mathematical symbols, and graphical elements, such as circles or lines, to make up a poem that also looked like a painting. Their works, valued as visual lyric poems, break up language and combine anti-poems. They rejected traditional poetic dictions or grammar, but developed a paratactic poem that freely uses letters and symbols. Their calligrammic poetic dictions arouse dynamic images like space extension. Lee Sang's calligrams seem like abstract paintings that apply geometric symbols like those used in technical drawings. As a result, crossing the boundaries between language and pictorial art by using experimental materials and techniques, their poems deconstruct the creative standards of rational and traditional poetic dictions, creating an adventurous, expressive technique. Their calligrammic, avant-garde poems introduced a new spirit of art into both French and Korean modern poetic literature.
