The main purpose of this paper is to show how Jespersen analyzed the date of English compound related with reduplication. Especially dealing with the compound words he classified the examples related with reduplication as a separate part and attempted to account for the patters based on the structure of the first syllable constituting the initial part of the second element in a compound word. 1 tried to explain the peculiar shape of the reduplicational pattern in English based on the Optimality Theory, especially the method of 'melodic overwriting' of McCarthy(1997). According to the analysis the initial part of the second element of a compound has to be stipulated before reduplication occurs. When the reduplicant has to be decided at the first syllable of the second element, the form which is stipulated to take the position comes to appear at the post instead of repeating the morphemic shape of the first syllable at the first element of the word.

Based on its geophysical feature, the island has long been recognized as a separate and self-sustaining space independent of neighboring continent or other islands. Literary tradition has used the island as a metaphor for a utopian alternative to mundane human society with its various kinds of wrongdoings. Recent nature writings have taken up this island metaphor to emphasize the wholeness of the ecosystem in specifically designated natural community or landscapes such as national parks or wilderness preservation areas. Human-nature relations as border-divided area is also recognized as the island. Modern island biogeography, however, has disproved such a concept of islands as autonomous, revealing the contrasting fact that the richness of species on an undisturbed island is determined largely by species immigration from and emigration to a source of colonists. This scientific finding has posited the island as the interconnected nature, but the public and metaphoric use of it still resorts to the old concept of it as isolated and autonomous nature, because this image has been ingrained deeply in our consciousness and culture. Considering the negative consequences from the recognition of nature and nature-humans as isolated space, we need a new nature metaphor that embodies interconnectedness in nature and of human-nature relations. Such feature of interconnectedness is best embedded in the concept of ecotone. Some ecotones are created and maintained through human participation in nature, and this human induced nature of ecotone denotes the possibilities of a constructive relation between them. The substitution of the island with the ecotone as the concept of nature and the image of human-nature relations is expected to correct ecocritical practices of reading of nature writing, which has been predominantly interpreted within the orientation of nature itself and nature-human relations as an isolated and self-autonomous island. Adopting the ecotone in literary study enables ecocriticism to dig out cultural elements embedded in nature writing and reveal socio-political, ideological factors hidden behind the writers' portrayal of nature as islands.

상호참조해결은 주어진 문서에서 상호참조해결의 대상이 될 수 있는 멘션을 추출하고, 같은 개체를 의미하는 멘션 쌍 또는 집합을 찾는 자연어처리 작업이다. 하나의 멘션 내에 멘션이 될 수 있는 다른 단어를 포함하는 중첩 멘션은 순차적 레이블링으로 해결할 수 없는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 멘션의 시작 단어의 위치를 여는 괄호('('), 마지막 위치를 닫는 괄호(')')로 태깅하고 이 괄호들을 예측하는 멘션 탐지 모델과 멘션 탐지 모델에서 예측된 멘션을 바탕으로 포인터 네트워크를 이용하여 같은 개체를 나타내는 멘션을 군집화하는 상호참조해결 모델을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 4개의 영어 대화 데이터셋에서 멘션 탐지 모델은 F1-score (Light) 94.17%, (AMI) 90.86%, (Persuasion) 92.93%, (Switchboard) 91.04%의 성능을 보이고, 상호참조해결 모델에서는 CoNLL F1 (Light) 69.1%, (AMI) 57.6%, (Persuasion) 71.0%, (Switchboard) 65.7%의 성능을 보인다.
