This paper deals with the problem, which logic of language and which metaphysics Wittgenstein suggests in the Tractatus logico-philosophicus. I will ultimately show how he bases the metaphysics on the logic of language. The logic of language by which Wittgenstein sets the limit to the language 'in the language' is the logical syntax of the language. And Wittgenstein extends the idea of the logical syntax to the understanding the nature of the world, i.e. to the metaphysics. The logical form the language(proposition) must have is the form of the world(or the nature of the world), and it can be determined only together with the logical syntax of the language. But what is the logical form(form of the world) 'cannot be said', since the proposition saying it is devoid of 'sense' and 'says nothing'. Therefore Wittgenstein expresses that the logical form(form of the world) 'can only be shown' in the proposition that has sense. The Metaphysics Wittgenstein wants to base on the logic of language(the logical syntax) must be mystical.

This paper is a study on constructing a natural language interface to database, concentrating on generating textual answers. TGEN, a system that generates textual answer from query result tables is presented. The TGEN architecture guarantees its portability across domains. A combination of a frame-based approach and natural language generation techniques in the TGEN provides text fluency and text flexibility. The implementation result shows that this approach is feasible while a deep NLG approach is still far to be reached.

This paper retraces the development of Database Semantics (DBS) from its beginnings in Montague grammar. It describes the changes over the course of four decades and explains why they were seen to be necessary. DBS was designed to answer the central theoretical question for building a talking robot: How does the mechanism of natural language communication work? For doing what is requested and reporting what is going on, a talking robot requires not only language but also non-language cognition. The contents of non-language cognition are re-used as the meanings of the language surfaces. Robot-externally, DBS handles the language-based transfer of content by using nothing but modality-dependent unanalyzed external surfaces such as sound shapes or dots on paper, produced in the speak mode and recognized n the hear mode. Robot-internally, DBS reconstructs cognition by integrating linguistic notions like functor-argument and coordination, philosophical notions like concept-, pointer-, and baptism-based reference, and notions of computer science like input-output, interface, data structure, algorithm, database schema, and functional flow.

Working memory is the term used to refer to the mental workplace in which information can be temporarily stored and manipulated during complex everyday activities such as understanding language. The studies on language and working memory are based on Baddeley's phonological working memory and Daneman and Carpenter's functional working memory. This article reviews two working memory models and the studies on language and working memory based on each model. These are described in the implication of working memory in language development and specific language impairment-evaluation and treatment.

This study explores the relations between mathematics and the natural human language. At the very outset, a general definition of language was, given while it was attempted to make some comparisons between the words of natural language and mathematical symbols at that. Besides, the occupation of natural language functions within mathematics was handled. Consequently, it was tried to manifest that the language of mathematics enjoys the features of natural language as well. Mathematics makes use of many functional and structural features. The fact that fundamental ingredient of mathematics is symbols does not change this reality.

In designing and implementing of a distributed system, a programming language which can describe and implement the various interactions between distributed processes in distributed systems is indispensible. High level language constructs such as concurrency. process synchronization between distributed processes and mutually exclusive access to common data could be built in a distributed programming language under the proper support of a language kernel. In this paper, we studied the language constructs a distributed programming language must have and specified the kernel supports necessary in implementing that high level language constructs.

In this paper, we describe an implementation method of "set constraints logic language" using the logic language Prolog. "Set constraints logic language" is a programming language with a new paradigm that uses the "set theory" in programming. In this paper, we explain "set constraints problem solver" that has been proposed by A. Dovier and his researchers and we describe an implementation method of this solver using Prolog. We ran easily implement the "set constraints problem solver" in Prolog, since Prolog easily implements nondeterministic problems and provides a data structure railed list. We have applied the language to several application fields to show the usefulness of the language.

This study was aimed to evaluate effect of parents-centered speech intervention program on overall speech and language performances of children with cochlear implant. Ten pairs of mother and child were selected and assigned into two groups: intervention group(G1) and control group(G2). G1 included 5 children with cochlear implant and their mothers who joined the parents-centered program. G2 consisted of 5 children with cochlear implant and their mothers did not participate in the program. To evaluate their speech and language abilities, examination instruments(Preschool Language Scale, and Language Comprehension and Cognition Test) were analyzed. Performances of pre- and post-treatment were analysed by ANOVA procedure. The results were as follows: There were significant differences of speech and language performances between pre- and post-treatment in G1. But there were no significant differences in G2(therapists centered program). G1 showed better performances in language comprehension than G2. This study revealed that parents centered language intervention program would be effective for speech and language development for children with cochlear implant.

자연어처리에서 데이터는 굉장히 많은 부분을 차지하고 중요한 역할이지만, 데이터로 인한 윤리적 이슈 또한 많이 나타난다. 본 연구는 자연어처리에서의 데이터 흐름의 과정에서 나타날 수 있는 윤리적 이슈를 단계별로 정리하였다. 이는 복잡한 자연어처리 과정의 특성과 자연어처리 분야에서 나타나는 상황을 모두 고려한 것이다. 또한 단계별로 정리한 이슈를 토대로 자연어처리가 더 나은 방향으로 나아가기 위한 데이터 관점에서의 미래 방향을 제시하였다.

질문 생성이란 구절이 입력되면 구절에서 답을 찾을 수 있는 질문을 자동으로 생성하는 작업으로 교육용 시스템, 대화 시스템, QA 시스템 등 다양한 분야에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 질문 생성에서 정답의 단어가 질문에 포함되는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 구절과 정답을 분리한다. 하지만 구절과 정답을 분리하게 되면 구절에서 정답의 정보가 손실되고, 정답에서는 구절의 문맥 정보가 손실되어 정답 유형에 맞는 질문을 생성할 수 없는 문제가 발생된다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 분리된 정답과 구절의 정보를 연결시켜주는 정답과 구절의 공동 주의 집중 계층을 제안한다. 23,658개의 질문-응답 쌍의 말뭉치를 이용한 실험에서 정답과 구절의 공동 주의 집중 계층이 성능 향상에 기여해 우수한 성능(BLEU-26.7, ROUGE-57.5)을 보였다.
