Knowledge in linguistic rhythm of the target language plays a major role in foreign language proficiency. This study attempts to discover valid rhythm features that can be utilized in automatic assessment of non-native English pronunciation. Eight previously proposed and two novel rhythm metrics are investigated with 360 English read speech tokens obtained from 27 Korean learners and 9 native speakers. It is found that some of the speech-rate normalized interval measures and above-word level metrics are effective enough to be further applied for automatic scoring as they are significantly correlated with speakers' proficiency levels. It is also shown that metrics need to be dynamically selected depending upon the structure of target sentences. Results from a preliminary auto-scoring experiment through a Multi Regression analysis suggest that appropriate control of unexpected input utterances is also desirable for better performance.

The purpose of this paper is to find out some major characteristics of intermediate-advanced Korean learners' English by corpus- linguistically analyzing their essays in comparison with native speakers'. We construct a corpus of CBT TOEFL essays by Korean learners, NNS1 (94076 words in 402 texts), and its sub-corpus, NNS2 (14291 words in 45 texts), and then a corpus of model essays written or meticulously edited by native speakers, NS (14833 words in 35 texts). We compare NNS1 and NNS2 with NS, and with some other corpora, in terms of high-frequency words, and show that Korean learners' writings have more features of informal writing than those of formal writing, which is in accord with the reports in Granger (1998) that EFL writings by European advanced learners are characterized by informality.

This research provide the basic information to enhance the user-orientedness of usability design guidelines for software products and an effective empirical guidance to classify design attributes of internet shopping mall sites. The results of analysis show that design attributes can be classified into the procedural attribute group, the shopping tool attribute group, the visual attribute group, linguistic attribute group, and others. The results show that shopping tool attribute group can be divided further into the search tool attribute group and purchase tool attribute group and that the visual attribute group can be divided further into the screen condition attribute group and the character legibility attribute group. The research reveals that when designers design software interfaces and features they should take the compound effect of a group of design attributes into consideration to enhance the usability of the system.

목적 지향성 대화에서 화자의 의도는 화행과 개념열 쌍으로 구성되는 의미 구조로 근사화될 수 있다. 그러므로 지능형 대화 시스템을 구현하기 위해서는 의미 구조를 올바르게 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 능동학습(active learning) 방법을 이용하여 효율적으로 의미 구조를 분석하는 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 언어 분석에 따른 부담을 덜기위하여 형태소 자질들과 이전 의미 구조만을 입력 자질로 사용한다. 그리고 정확률 향상을 위하여 자연어 처리 분야에서 높은 성능을 보이고 있는 CRFs(Conditional Random Fields)를 기본 통계 모델로 사용한다. 일정 관리 영역에서 제안 모델을 실험한 결과는 기존 모델들과 비교하여 1/3 정도의 훈련데이타를 사용하고도 비슷한 정확률(화행 92.4%, 개념열 89.8%)을 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

이 연구에서는 과학 논문 레지스터를 분석하여 지구과학 논문의 언어 특성을 탐색하였다. 연구 자료로 지질과학, 대기과학, 해양과학의 한국어 논문 1편씩을 선정하였다. 지구과학 논문 레지스터의 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주제부와 설명부 간의 의미적, 지시적 연결이 체계적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 이를 통해 텍스트가 제시하려는 메시지와 요점이 통일적으로 응집력 있게 제시되었다. 둘째, 각 텍스트의 장르 요소에 따라 연역적 추론 또는 귀추적 추론 관계 및 인과 관계를 나타내는 술어들이 사용되었으며, 논리적 관계는 접속어구보다는 술어의 유형을 통해 표현되었다. 셋째, 대부분의 논문 텍스트에서 가능성을 나타내는 인식적 술어를 사용하여 과학자들의 해석과 설명 및 주장을 간접적으로 표현하는 약한 상호관계를 형성하였다. 연구 결과를 근거로 학생들이 과학 학습 과정에서 과학 텍스트에 대한 문해 능력을 높이고, 과학자들의 지식 구성 방식을 이해하기 위해서는 과학 글에서 각 문장을 구성하는 주제부와 설명부의 연결 관계를 파악하고, 술어의 유형에 따라 논리적 관계를 조사하는 과학 언어 풀어내기 활동이 과학 교육과정에 포함되어야 함을 논의하였다.

The 21st century is the age when a sensational image has more explanatory power and can deliver a more powerful message than a message consisting of logical thinking. Powerful visual images create a big impact on many people throughout the world, overcoming linguistic barriers and even replacing language as a means of communication. In the fashion field, the concept and power of visual images within the new multimedia of the 21st century are becoming increasingly important. In recent years, other than the above methods, videos, movies and animation features have been produced directly to enhance visual effects and attempts are increasing to use these new tools as communication methods. This study focuses on animation contents that have been used in the fashion industry to overcome prejudice of luxury international brands that feature images that emphasize value, quality and heritage. The purpose of this study is to focus on the specific character of fashion animation in order to overview the concept of 21st video fashion communication and to show how the collection concept that includes color and detail places an emphasis on visual images. Analysis of previous research, theoretical research through literature and case study on Prada fashion animation led to the following conclusion. The common features of two different Prada fashion animation show that both animation have the following features in common : realism, dramatic impact and convergence for expression methods, and creativeness, hybrid and a happy ending for contents. Beginning with this study, I believe that various angles of interest and concern about communication in the fashion world, which is a social and cultural phenomenon that changes rapidly, can be will be looked at and learned from.

This study is based on the Korean-Chinese parallel corpus, utilizing the Korean connective morpheme '-myenseo' and contrasting with the Chinese expression. Korean learners often struggle with the use of Korean Connective Morpheme especially when there is a lexical gap between their mother language. '-myenseo' is of the most use Korean Connective Morpheme, it usually contrast to the Chinese coordinating conjunction. But according to the corpus, the contrastive Chinese expression to '-myenseo' is more than coordinating conjunction. So through this study, can help the Chinese Korean language learners learn easier while studying '-myenseo', because the variety Chinese expression are found from the parallel corpus that related to '-myenseo'. In this study, firstly discussed the semantic features and syntactic characteristics of '-myenseo'. The significant semantic features of '-myenseo' are 'simultaneous' and 'conflict'. So in this chapter the study use examples of usage to analyse the specific usage of '-myenseo'. And then this study analyse syntactic characteristics of '-myenseo' through the subject constraint, predicate constraints, temporal constraints, mood constraints, negatives constraints. then summarize them into a table. And the most important part of this study is Chapter 4. In this chapter, it contrasted the Korean connective morpheme '-myenseo' to the Chinese expression by analysing the Korean-Chinese parallel corpus. As a result of the analysis, the frequency of the Chinese expression that contrasted to '-myenseo' is summarized into
