Welwyn Garden City benefits from the greater design cohesion and management of development which gave it a more distinctive 'brand image' almost from the outset than its older garden city(Letchworth, Hampstead). Its planner, Louis de Soissons, brought a more obvious sense of traditional formal urbanism to the design of the second garden city. This was rather different to the distinctive but rather more informal arts and crafts approach of Raymond Unwin. Here it attempts to analyze how they greatly and firmly established the concept of Housing Group in the residential design, and what similar elements between Unwin and de Soissons in the New Town planning. It is pointed out that the Housing Group theory is composed of recognizing urban life as totality, and group planning theory, and that they definitely originated a new technique in the residential area. It is analyzed that the syntactic relations between the group planning theory and enclosed housing cluster designs in the English garden city are epitomized in Welwyn Garden City.

This paper describes an algorithm that can efficiently analyze the ECG signal using frame knowledge representation technique. Input to the analysis process is a set of significant points which have been extracted from an original sampled signal(lead II) by the syntactic peak recognition algorithm. The hierarchical property of ECG signal is represented by hierarchical AND/OR graph. The semantic information and constraints of the ECG signal are desctibed by frame. As the control mechanism for labeling points, the search mechanism with the mixed paradigms of data-driven and model driven hypothesis formation, scoring function, hypothesis modification network and instance inheritance are used. We used the CSE database in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

In Korean, wh-question and indefinite yes-no questions have the same morphemic and syntactic structure. In speech, however, these two types of questions are distinguished by a prosodic difference. In this study, we examined if Chinese Korean leaners can distinguish between these two types of questions in production and if they can correctly perceive the different meaning of a question based on the prosodic information. For this purpose, we analysed two types of interrogative sentences produced by 5 native speakers and 15 Chinese Korean language leaners. The results show that the 5 Korean native speakers produce two types of questions by a salient prosodic difference, i.e., difference of prosodic structure, different pitch range of wh-phrase and indefinite phrase, and different boundary tone. However, for the 15 Chinese speakers, the two types of questions were not distinguished by the same prosodic features but in the perception analysis they were able to distinguish between the two types of questions easily.

As increasing the size and complexity of hard-ware and software system, more efficient design methodology has been developed. Especially design-reuse technique enables fast system development via integrating existing hardware and software. For this technique available hardware/software should be prepared as component-based parts, adaptable to various systems. This paper introduces a component-based VHDL analyzer allowing to be embedded in other applications, such as simulator, synthesis tool, or smart editor. VHDL analyzer parses VHDL description input, and performs lexical, syntactic, semantic checking, and finally generates intermediate-form data as the result. VHDL has full-features of object-oriented language such as data abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. To support these features special analysis algorithm and intermediate form is required. This paper summarizes practical issues on implementing high-performance/quality VHDL analyzer and provides its solution that is based on the intensive experience of VHDL analyzer development.

한국어 자연언어처리에서 부딪치는 첫 번째 어려움은 형태소 분석 대상으로서의 어절(통사적 단어)이 형태론적으로 다양한 유형을 갖는다는 데 있다. 따라서 정확하고 효율적인 형태소 분석기를 설계하고 구현하는 데 있어서 우선적으로 요구되는 것은 다양한 유형의 어절을 형태론적으로 분석하여 체계화하는 것이다. 이러한 문제 인식에 따라 본 연구에서는 형태소 결합 관계를 중심으로 체언 어절과 용언 어절의 구성 양상에 대해 살펴보았다.

The complexity of comparative constructions in each language has given challenges to both theoretical and computational analyses. This paper first identifies types of comparative constructions in Korean and discusses their main grammatical properties. It then builds a syntactic parser couched upon the typed feature structure grammar, HPSG and proposes a context-dependent interpretation for the comparison. To check the feasibility of the proposed analysis, we have implemented the grammar into the existing Korean Resource Grammar. The results show us that the grammar we have developed here is feasible enough to parse Korean comparative sentences and yield proper semantic representations though further development is needed for a finer model for contextual information.

Prosodic characteristics of natural speech, especially intonation, in many cases represent specific feelings of the speaker at the time of the utterance, with relatively vast variations of speaking styles over the same text. We analyzed a collected speech corpus, recorded with ten Slovene speakers. Interpretation of observed intonation contours was done for the purpose of modelling the intonation contour in synthesis process. We devised a scheme for modeling the intonation contour for different types of intonation units based on the results of analyzing intonation contours. The intonation scheme uses a superpositional approach, which defines the intonation contour as the sum of global (intonation unit) and local (accented syllables or syntactic boundaries) components. Near-to-natural intonation contour was obtained by rules, using only the text of the utterance as input.

Stress assignment has been much discussed in the literature on English compound nouns. The general view of the stress pattern of English compound nouns is that a main stress falls on the first element and a secondary stress on the second element; however, a stress pattern is often employed that provides counterevidence to the traditional pedagogical approach. A new idea is suggested by Ladd(1984) that 'compound stress represents the deaccenting of the head of the compound.' Recent studies show that initial stressing does not indicate compounds and syntactic phrases are not always characterized by final stressing. In his pilot test Pennanen comments on the frequent variation of stress patterns on individual items, on the basis of which Bauer confirms Pennanen's results with different informants. This paper is an attempt to justify Bauer's analysis with the same data as Bauer's and different subjects. It turns out that the competences of native-speaker informants do not rovide clear-cut answers. Some factors should be taken into account in assigning appropirate stress to compound nouns.

Interrogative sentences are generally used to perform speech acts of directly asking a question or making a request, but they are also used to convey such speech acts indirectly. In the utterances, such indirect uses of interrogative sentences usually carry speaker's emotion with a negative attitude, which is close to an expression of anger. The identification of such negative emotion is known as a difficult problem that requires relevant information in syntax, semantics, discourse, pragmatics, and speech signals. In this paper, we argue that the interrogatives used for indirect speech acts could serve as a dominant marker for identifying the emotional attitudes, such as anger, as compared to other emotion-related markers, such as discourse markers, adverbial words, and syntactic markers. To support such an argument, we analyze the dialogues collected from the Korean soap operas, and examine individual or cooperative influences of the emotion-related markers on emotional realization. The user study shows that the interrogatives could be utilized as a promising device for emotion identification.

음성 인식 기술의 발전과 더불어 다양한 분야에서 음성 인식 시스템이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 음성으로부터 입력된 문장의 의도를 파악하여 모바일 기기를 제어할 수 있는 시스템에 대해서 기술한다. 사용자의 의도를 파악하기 위해, 동일한 의미를 가진 문장 형태들을 LSP(Lexico Semantic/Syntactic Pattern)로 구성하였고, 이를 이용하여 입력된 문장의 의도를 파악할 수 있는 문장-의미 분석 시스템을 구현하였다. 사용자의 음성 인식은 구글 안드로이드 음성 인식 모듈을 이용하였으며, 음성 인식 모듈과 문장-의미 분석 시스템을 통해 얻어진 화자의 의도는 모바일 기기의 동작과 연결된다. 본 논문은 자연적인 음성 명령을 통해 자연스러운 모바일 제어가 가능하다는 것을 보여준다.
