This paper aims to investigate a novel affix prevalently and productively used in social media, which is assumed to be borrowed from English into Korean loanblens. The novel affix is composed of a prefix-like and a suffix-like elements, but it seems to be distinguished from other regular combinations of a prefix and a suffix. In analyzing the affix, we attempt to highlight its peculiarities of the affix with empirical data. First, the seemingly borrowed affix does not behave like affixes found in the donor language (English) or the recipient language (Korean) from a linguistic point of view. Both languages have circumfixation rarely available in productive word-formation processes. Second, no regular assimilation rules of Korean apply to the affix boundary, which would otherwise be mandatory to such syllable contact contexts. Last but not least, the affix form has no correspondence to the donor language, and therefore it is claimed to be derived through secretion and taken as a case of pseudo-anglicisms.

The present study was planned to investigate the cortical activation correlated with producing morphologically complex Korean verbs by using. fMRI technique. In this study two derivational affixes and two inflectional affixes were selected: pre-final ending and final ending for inflectional affix and passive affix and causative affix for derivational affix. Two Experiment were conducted. The results of two Experiments suggest a possibility that process of pre-final ending is different from final ending.

This paper proposes noun and affix extraction methods using conjunctive information for making an automatic indexing system thorugh morphological analysis and syntactic analysis. The korean language has a peculiar spacing words rule, which is different from other languages, and the conjunctive information, which is extracted from the rule, can reduce the number of multiple parts of speech at a minimum cost. The proposed algorithms also solve the problem that one word is seperated by newline charcter. We show efficiency of the proposed algorithms through the process of morhologica analyzing.

This paper suggests a reverse segmentation Algorithm using affix information and some preference pattern information of Korean compound nouns. The structure of Korean compound nouns are mostly derived from the Chinese characters and it includes some preference patterns, which are going to be utilized as a segmentation rule in this paper. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed algorithm, an experiment was performed with 36061 compound nouns. The experiment resulted in getting 99.3% of correct segmentation and showed excellent satisfactory result from the comparative experimentation with other algorithm, especially most of the four or five-syllable compound nouns were successfully segmented without fail.

The Steel deck a structural analysis in head plate form change the objective bridge which it sells it accomplished a detailed structural analysis from the research which it sees and Bulk-head plate it accomplished. The length rib where the fatigue crack which is considerable generally occurs, width rib connection department and the length rib side, the width rib side it compares principal stress in the object and it does to sleep. It applied the grudge element model which it describes consequently after words and a load and a boundary condition and it executed it compared a static test and principal stress. It grasped the stress conduct of the The Steel deck petal which it follows in hand weaving rib affix location and the affix location to sleep in order to analyze a same location Bulk-head the head and comparison considered. From the detailed section which is reinforced with the stress investigation result hand weaving rib of the location which is weak in structural analysis result fatigue crack of form star reinforcement details basic form and Bulk-head the form which is reinforced with the head plate compared to principal stress investigation hour it is judged at the section which separates most.

This paper discusses a design for Korean language parsing based on subcategorization. First, we discuss some important Korean grammar elements such as syntax category, josa, omi-conjugation, syntactic affix, dependent noun and also discuss subcategorization and expression patterns. Then, we show the basic structure of Korean language parsing process. The first stage scans the input sentence and processes article, noun phrase, numeral, josa, affix, dependent noun, adjective, omi-conjugation, adverb, auxiliary verb. The second stage deals with subcategorization patterns and expression patterns. The third stage processes the clauses and the fourth stage deals with SEA(Sentence Ending+Auxiliary).

This paper discusses the distribution of a null complementizer C, as opposed to an overt counterpart 'that', presenting empirical support both for and against the PF-merge analysis of C proposed by Boscovic and Lasnik (2003, henceafter B&L) who in turn attribute to the proposal in Pesetsky (1992) and Halle & Marantz (1993). In Section I, as a background, I discuss B&L's proposal that a null complementizer C is a PF-affix which undergoes a PF-merger operation at the PF component. In Section 2, after a brief sketch of the distribution of a null C mostly in bare-relatives, I explore the possibility of extending B&L's analysis to accomodate the null C's in the bare-relative constructions. In Section 3, I argue that despite some empirical difficulties, B&L's analysis of a null C as a PF-affix can still be maintained, if Adverb Fronting is an operation to Spec-C position. Furthermore, I propose a rule - PF Spell-Out Constraint - to account for the C-trace (i.e. that-trace) effect in relative constructions. With the PF Spell-Out Constraint and B&L's PF-merge account, the distribution of a null C can better be analyzed.

This paper presents two experiments examining different gemination behavior of English affixes. Experiment 1 focused on geminates through affixation with im-, un-, -ness, and -ly. The English group articulated geminates with longer absolute and relative durations than singletons for im-, un-, and -ness, but there was no difference for -ly. This suggests that -ly words are more likely to be perceived as whole words, and that -ly is less decomposable. Furthermore, un- geminates exhibited longer absolute and preceding vowel durations than im- geminates, suggesting that im- is more decomposable than un-. However, the Korean group produced geminates with longer absolute and relative durations than singletons for all im-, un-, -ness, and -ly, and produced comparable absolute durations of im- and un- geminates. Experiment 2 investigated different gemination behaviors of locative and negative im- prefixes. The English group showed durational contrast between geminates and singletons only for negative im-, indicating that locative im- is not easily separated from stem. However, the Korean group produced longer absolute and relative durations for geminates than for singletons for both locative and negative im-. According to the findings of Experiments 1 and 2, affix decomposability is less likely to influence Korean speakers' English affix gemination, and spellings may have a greater influence.

The purpose of this study was to investigate which model among Fullist, Decomposition, and Hybrid was appropriate for explaining the process of Korean verb, especially on tense prefinal ending, connective ending, and morphological passive affix. Three experiment was performed. The results of experiment 1, 2, 3 suggest that it is necessary for a new model of Korean verb processing.

This study investigated the patterns of coda deletion in spontaneous Seoul Korean speech. More specifically, the current study focused on three factors in promoting coda deletion, namely, word position, consonant type, and morpheme type. The results revealed that, first, coda deletion frequently occurred when affixes were attached to the ends of words, rather than in affixes in word-internal positions or in roots. Second, alveolar consonants [n] and [l] in the coda positions of high-frequency affixes [nɨn] and [lɨl] were most likely to be deleted. Additionally, regarding affix reduction in the word-final position, all subjects seemed to depend on this articulatory strategy to a similar degree. In sum, the current study found that affixes without primary semantic content in spontaneous speech tend to undergo the process of reduction, favoring the occurrence of specific pronunciation variants.
