Autistic children have difficulties in communication. They tend to have more difficulties in general expression than in understanding sentences. This thesis tested the effect of music activities on children who have difficulties in language expression. As a research method, a group of autistic middle school students was selected who were attending normal schools. Three male students were selected for the test of K-ABC and CARS. Music treatments on the selected students were applied fifteen times, twice a week, for thirty minutes every time. The total treatment process could be divided into two stages. The stage one included the first twelve treatments and the stage two included following three treatments. In the stage one, the selected autistic students learned twenty four musics under real-world-like social circumstances. In the stage two, the students repeatedly learned the twenty four musics. A week before beginning the music treatment, the students were tested by PRES and a test developed by the author of this thesis. And a week after all treatments were completed, the students were tested again with the same test method to check if the students' expressive language ability got improved. The results of the research were as the following: First, the music treatment helped improve the autistic student's ability of expressing themselves such as 'requesting', 'rejecting', 'applying social customs' and 'providing information'. Second, the author of this thesis first had a hypothesis that the tested students might show different levels of achievements according to their intellectual ability or expressive language ability in K-ABC test, PRES and CARS. But it was not true. The student's level of achievement by music activities was proved not to have a significant correlation with their intellectual or expressive language abilities in the tests. Third, it was found that, through pre- and post-test of PRES, the music treatments could improve the receptive language ability as well as the expressive language ability. It saw great effect that musical data that utilize in specially this research investigator according to children's ability, autistic children write lyrics setting in social circumstance that is revealed much routinely and composes. To front, expect that suitable a lot of musics are developed in function and ability of subject person for elevation of expressive language ability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of young children's verbal expression on their prosocial behaviors. The subjects were 44 four-year-olds and 42 five-year- olds in nine kindergartens and daycare centers located in Gyeonggi-do. The instruments used were Verbal Expressiveness Inventory(Jang, 1981) and PBSYC for teachers(Kim, 2003). The major findings of the study were as follows: Concerning the correlations between their verbal expression and prosocial behavior, those who had better verbal expression showed more prosocial behavior. The relationships between the subfactors of verbal expression and those of prosocial behavior were inconsistent to some extent, but there was a positive correlation between the two overall. So it could be said that a better verbal expresson leads to better prosocial behavior. From the findings of the study on the effect of the verbal expression on prosocial behavior, it can be concluded that young children who have better verbal expression are more excellent at building a good peer relationship, helping their peers, being considerate, making themselves accessible, sharing their own belongings with peers and regulating their own emotions. This study is expected to assist early childhood education institutions to provide young children with a variety of educational activities geared toward improving verbal expression to improve their prosocial behaviors. Also, this study is expected to help teachers to improve the prosocial behavior of young children in diverse ways.

The purpose of this study is to find the effect of home environmental stimuli and mothers' personal variables in multicultural family on children's linguistic abilities. The object of this study is 132 infants and their mothers of 82 infant education institutes located in P city. The main results of the study are as follows: First, the means of communication (generally Korean) is found to have the greatest effect 0n children's linguistic abilities of the personal variables of mothers from multicultural families. Second, the formation of stable and predictable environments affects children's linguistic abilities (receptive and expressive language) most of all the home environmental stimuli. Third, children's receptive language was most affected by the formation of stable and predictable environments, and their expressive language was most affected by the aspects of physical environments.

Phonological awareness is a metalinguistic awareness ability of phonology and is known to predict language skills, such as reading and vocabulary skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between phonological awareness, phonological processing, and language skills in 4- to 6-years-old typically developing (TD) children and children with language delay (LD). A total of 32 children (TD=18, LD=15) participated in this study. They performed a phonological awareness task consisting of counting, deletion, and discrimination at syllable level. Nonword Repetition, Digit Backward, Receptive & Expressive Vocabulary Test, and Grammaticality Judgment Task were performed to analyze the correlation between phonological awareness, phonological processing, and language ability. A multiple stepwise regression analysis was performed to examine the phonological awareness subtasks that predict language ability. In the TD group, the syllable categorization task significantly predicted the receptive vocabulary and the performance of the Grammaticality Judgment Task. The LD group showed that the syllable counting task significantly predicted the receptive vocabulary, the expressive vocabulary, and the performance of the Grammaticality Judgment Task. The results showed that the phonological awareness performance was significantly different between the two groups. Further, correlation analysis and regression analysis showed different results for each group. The result of the phonological awareness performance predicted the language ability of each group significantly, suggesting the importance of the meta-linguistic awareness ability of phonology.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the usage of voice scripting for speech characterization. The ultimate goal of acting is for an actor to create one's character both in physical and vocal sense, and to present them on stage. Toward this goal, actors train themselves with various methods and techniques as well as character analysis. Most of their efforts are put into for better physical and vocal expression. The vocal characterization on stage is heavily governed by the proper speech based on the effective respiration and voice. This paper provides the way of how to use sound scoring for effective vocal characterization on stage.

암시적 비윤리 표현은 명시적 비윤리 표현과 달리 학습 데이터 선별이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 추가 생산 패턴 예측이 까다롭다. 고로 암시적 비윤리 표현에 대한 언어 모델의 감지 능력을 기르기 위해서는 모델의 취약성을 발견하는 연구가 반드시 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 암시적 비윤리 표현에 대한 표기 변경과 긍정 요소 삽입이라는 두 가지 변형을 통해 모델의 예측 변화를 유도하였다. 그 결과 모델이 야민정음과 외계어를 사용한 언어 변형에 취약하다는 사실을 발견하였다. 이에 더해 이모티콘이 텍스트와 함께 사용되는 경우 텍스트 자체보다 이모티콘의 효과가 더 크다는 사실을 밝혀내었다.

본 논문에서는 중간언어 설계의 일부분으로, 중간의미 표현을 위한 어휘지식 표현 방안에 관하여 논한다. 기존 중간언어들은 단어의 의미 구별법이 단순한 선택적 제한을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 시소러스체계도 단일하게 유지하고 있다. 따라서, 단어의 의미간 중첩성이 반영되지 못하고 단어의 창조적 사용(creative use)에 대한 대처능력도 떨어진다. 또한 단일 시소러스체계를 통해서는 단어들의 명확한 분류기준을 파악할 수가 없다. 이러한 어휘지식 표현체계의 문제점들을 극복하기 위한 해결책으로서 생성사전(Generative Lexicon)을 도입하고, 중간표현의 관계기호를 효과적으로 파악하기 위한 관점에서의 시소러스 분류체계를 제안한다. 또한 이 같은 어휘지식 표현체계를 이용하여 문장의 구문구조로부터 중간표현을 나타내는 과정을 제시한다.
