Southeast Asian languages are famous for having a large number of vowel sounds with an average of more than 20 vowel sounds in this certain language family. In addition, there are approximately 1,500 languages in this area, which accounts for approximately 20% of total languages in the world. For this reason, vowel systems of Southeast Asian languages should be explored to determine the nature of vowel structures of human natural languages. In this study, we analyze vowel systems of three languages, Tagalog, Malay and Thai, that have only primary or normal vowels and thus are relatively simple structures based on descriptive and analytic universals. We would also like to confirm if the six criteria of the tentative evaluation model taken from several previous literature is appropriate in applying analysis of vowel system universals under the method of the Greenbergian Universals or statistic universals. What we have found from this research are (i) the three languages have high level of universals with some exceptional cases such as three-vowel system of Tagalog, and (ii) some of the six criteria, together with some cases of analytic universals, are not quite suitable for understanding language-specific universals that are different from other languages.

This paper focuses on the terminology of the dictionary as an encyclopedic element in the Buddhist language. The previous study on Buddhist language can be divided into a philosophical approach to the language itself, a review of the linguistic perspective of a specific monk, and a linguistic examination of the Buddhist language. The linguistic examination of the Buddhist language is further divided into analysis of certain Buddhist scriptures, and a study of vocabulary used throughout the Buddhist sphere. The Buddhist vocabulary in the existing Korean dictionary is found in specialized areas such as name, place name, history, and Buddhism. By advancing the generalized words of the terminologies, the meanings of the terminologies and the general words are described as polysemy. It is possible to identify the degree of transition from terminology to general word depending on the distribution of senses. In the case of Buddhist vocabulary, the usage as a general language and as a Buddhist term was given priority, and vocabulary was also derived from a Buddhist term, although it was described as a general language. If a dictionary is changed according to the language unit it contains, the difference in a Buddhist terminology for each dictionary, and a conflict between the existing academic research result and the prior description, will need to be resolved through the collaboration of religious experts, linguists, and lexicographers.

In this study, most of the previous researches on the analysis of apology are limited to comparative study of apology in different countries from the perspective of cross-cultural communication and analysis of apology in daily life. Therefore, by introducing pragmatics on apology strategy and cultural interpretation theories, this study tried to analyze apology and apology strategies in the seventh season of American TV series Desperate Housewives. Specifically speaking, based on Trosborg's classification of apology strategies, this study sorted out, classified and counted apology strategies in the seventh season of Desperate Housewives, and then 200 apology strategies were randomly selected and analyzed in detail. The statistical results showed that 'expression of apology' strategy was used at the highest frequency of 64.0%, followed by 'explanation or account' and 'minimizing the degree of offence'; 'Acknowledgement of responsibility', 'offer of repair' strategy, 'expressing concern for hearer' and 'promise of forbearance' were used relatively less frequently. The results can be interpreted by America's high individualism, low power distance and low-context culture having great influence on the frequency of American apology strategy. This study can increase understanding of apology and culture, reduce offence in communication with Americans, and make cross-cultural communication smooth, and meanwhile it is expected to enrich the research scope of TV drama art by analyzing language in TV drama art.

The purpose of this research is to identify the concrete imagery terms that characterize Korean cultural identity and to express Korean feelings and images through those words. We classified the selected imagery terms into the elements of design, the principles of design, abstraction, expression and function. As a result, new aspects of the Korean Image are as follows. 1, It recognized that the colors representing the Korean image are not only achromatic but also splendid. 2. Noble images with common images have taken up a large part of Korean traditional image. 3. Pleasant images as well as sad images should be presented as a new perspective to express Korean cultural identity. 4. Indirect image rather than direct image appears frequently, while positive/active image appears frequently. Since this image accounts for a large portion of Korean present image it cannot be overlooked as Korean traditional Image. 5. Korean traditional architecture is expressed as functional and rational. Up until now, representative imagery terms about Korean cultural identity appear to be positive and active and we know that Korean feelings and images are implying more variety to the image generally recognized at this time. Therefore, if today's various information technology, and values are compared and the continuity and changes of designs are appropriately combined above Korean cultural identity with these results, this will provide an essential direction for the development of global Korean designs.

The amusement design of a large amusement park, including theme park, largely consists of attraction design, the main facilities, and auxiliary facilities design. The purpose of this study was to discuss the physical motion characteristics of major ride, a recently highlighted representative ride attraction, modern people's thirst for stronger stimuli, and some of the right future directions for amusement design. In theme park, there is an growing trend for rides, especially major rides, to be more thrilling, and Newton's Law motion is basically applied. The rides we can often see provides a thrilling experience that is different from that offered by vehicles we use everyday, due to a variety of speed change, namely of acceleration. Every entertainment facilities, including ride attractions, are externally cutting edge with the use of new technology. but internally, poor theme or concept not only makes it difficult to function properly as attraction but poses a severe threat to theme park survival itself. Theme park will be able to exist as a comprehensive entertainment entity, when attractions are designed to have a perfect harmony among story, method and environment with cultural universality.

The main purpose of this study was to use semantic network analysis to examine the international trend of arts management and other studies pertinent to this field. The subject was based on 357 keywords listed on the abstract of 185 research papers in the International Journal of Arts Management. To examine the most current trends of arts management based studies the time frame was restricted from 2008 to 2017. To briefly summarize the result, first, 'museum' was the most frequently appeared keyword. This was followed by 'performing arts' and 'arts' with more than 20 appearances. 'Motion picture industry' and 'theater' were the next frequently appeared keywords. 'Customer behavior' and 'market strategy', keywords related to management, were also included in the high ranked group along with art related keywords. Second, yearly research trend shows that arts management has been regularly studied for past ten years with average of 19 research papers with about 53 keywords. Keywords such as 'museum' and 'performing arts' has been regularly studied for past ten years. 'Culture', 'theater' and 'motion pictures industry' does not regularly appear in the result of yearly research trend but nevertheless they have sparsely made an appearance along the past decade. 'Art gallery' has not been cited till 2011 but from 2012 it was regularly and continuously made an appearance in the yearly research trend. Overall, the yearly trend result shows that the trend of international arts management studies within IJAM, was at first centered on fine arts but as the time passed there has been diversified keywords related to management. Third, 'performing art' and 'art' has the highest link frequency(34). Fourth, density result was 0.039 which shows that the keyword density is not very high. Fifth, 'art', 'performing art', 'museum', 'theater' and 'brand' were positioned in the middle when looking at the visualized version of centrality result. This means that these five keywords has the highest centrality among other keywords.

When ancient Chinese people called their relatives, both the marriage system and their blood ties are reflected in the kinship terms. For examples, the ancient China's unique marriage system, "yingqiehun," is reflected in kinship terms, like "shi," "di," and "zhi," which reflect the fact that women relatives married the same person, and thus resulting from the polygamy. Furthermore, there are good reasons to assume that there are master-and-servant relationships, as evidenced through the kinship terms "yingqiehun" from the beginning of polygamy. In this paper we will study the feature of their unique marital culture, "yingqiehun" by analyzing each meaning of "shi," "di," and "zhi" and other examples, and will also examine the cause of its prevalence at that time.

Major difficulties in the style selection,which guarantees the synthesis of good-styled natural expressions under the PIOVT MT system, are an absence of surface-level extra-information in the languageinde-pendent intermediate representation and the language-specific style of expressions due to cultural differences.This paper describes an attempt on the style selection with capabilities of guaranteeing more natural Korean expressions,which includes pragmatic and stylistic decision on target voice genertaion under heavy passive constraints,stylistic changes of sentence-structures,and meaning-supplementation of function words with content words.

Kyonggi21Search시스템은 GIS와 웹을 통합한 지역정보 검색 시스템이다. 웹과 GIS를 연동하여 지리정보를 검색하기 위해 웹 문서에서 지역관련 색인어를 추출하고, 색인어간의 관련성을 계산한다. "Kyonggi21Search"시스템에서는 웹 문서에 많이 나타나는 일반적인 단어보다는, 많은 문서에 나타나지 않는 지리적 문화적인 단어들 간의 관련성을 찾는 것이 더 중요한데, 본 연구에서는 단어들 간의 관련성을 찾는데 연관규칙과 연관클러스터를 이용하여 연관도를 계산한다. 그리고 이런 단어들의 관련성을 찾는데는 연관 클러스터를 이용하는 것이 더 적합하다는 것을 보여준다. 한편 웹 문서와 색인어를 이용하여 만든 행렬은 희소행렬이라는 점을 이용하여 연관 클러스터 방법의 단점인 높은 계산량을 줄이는 최적화 방법을 제안한다.

바이링걸의 인지증고령자와의 보다 유효한 커뮤니케이션의 가능성의 검토를 목적으로, 이문화를 배려한 모국어에 의한 개인 회상법을 이용한 회화를 실시했다. 회화는, 재일 코리안의 문화를 배려한 특별 양호 노인홈에 입주중이며 중도의 인지증 바이링걸 고령자 4명(모두 여성, 평균 88세)의 협력하에 실시했다. 모국어와 일본어의 장면에서, 개인 회상법에 의한 회화 내용과 감정 표출에 차이가 발생하는가의 관점에서 양 회화장면의 비교 분석을 실시했다. 그 결과, 중증의 인지증고령자라고해도 바이링걸의 특징인 자연스러운 코드 스위칭(Code-Switching;CS)가 관찰되었다. 즉, 과거의 학습이나 경험에 의해 축적된 모국의 언어 형식을 사용하는 기능이 잔존 능력으로서 잠재하고있는 것이 밝혀졌다. 덧붙여 ERiC 감정 반응 평가 척도를 이용해 관찰한 결과, 일본어의 장면보다 모국어의 장면에 대해 긍정적 감정의 풍부함이 관찰되었다. 이상으로, 바이링걸의 재일 코리안 인지증고령자 1세와 모국어를 이용한 회상법에 의한 회화는, 바이링걸의 특징을 기초로한 하나의 유효한 어프로치라고 생각된다.
