This study investigates relationships between TOPIK ratings and measures of grammaticality judgement competence in the acquisition of Korean as a second language. Data were collected on the linguistic abilities of learners' at 3 to 6 on the TOPIK scale, focusing on perception in grammar-mostly morphology and syntax, some lexis, and a few of collocation. The results show that (i) proficiency and grammaticality judgement competence show high correlation, (ii) individual accuracy scores correlate strongly with levels on the TOPIK proficiency scale on most linguistic features in the test, and (iii) Japanese speakers outperform Chinese speakers at the same levels of proficiency on most linguistic features. The findings indicate that global proficiency scales like the TOPIK can be deconstructed using grammaticality judgement test that provides detailed measures of learners' control of linguistic features.

Multiple Nominative Constructions (MNCs) and Multiple Accusative Constructions (MACs) have been some of the hottest and interesting topics in Korean syntax. This paper took empirical approaches to these constructions and examined native speakers' grammaticality judgements of these constructions. Though there are lots of previous studies on these constructions, Ryu (2010, 2013a, 2013b, 2013c) recently tried to unify MNCs and MACs into Multiple Case Constructions (MCCs) and to classify them into 16 types based on the semantic relations. This paper includes experiments which were performed on these 16 different types. The experiments were designed following Johnson (2008); and the native speakers' intuition was measured with two scales, numerical estimates and line drawing, though the latter was adopted in the actual analyses. Through the experiment, the following facts were observed: (i) the grammaticality of the MCCs varies depending on their semantic relations, (ii) MNCs were more grammatical than MACs if both constructions occurred in similar environments, and (iii) the sentences in some MAC types had much lower grammaticality than those in the others, as Ryu (2013b, 2013c) mentioned.

In the present study, we investigated the grammaticality judgement skills of children with developmental language impairments. The participants included 20 children with language impairments of ages ranging from 7 to 9 years and of IQ's ranging from 71 to 84, and 40 normally developing children. Twenty normal children were matched with the language impaired children in their language ages and the other 20 normal children were matched with the language impaired children in their chronological ages. The children were asked to judge the grammatical correctness of 48 short sentences, half of which were ungrammatical sentences containing incorrect case-markers and the other half were grammatically correct sentences. Four types of case-markers including nominative "i/ga", accusative "ul/lul", locative "e," and instrumental "ro" were systematically changed to generate the ungrammatical sentences. The language impaired children performed worse than both groups of normally developing children in detecting the ungrammatical sentences and in correcting the case-markers of those sentences. In detecting the errors of ungrammatical sentences, the language impaired children exhibited variable performances across the different case-markers.

The purpose of this study were to develop short form versions of MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories - Korean and to discuss clinical implications. Two short versions were developed: one for $9\sim17$ month-olds(including 69 words and 17 object manipulation skills) and the other for $18\sim35$ month-olds (including 128 words and 5 grammatical items). Short versions seemed to be representative of full versions and showed developmental validity. Short versions showed concomitant validity with SELSI which is a standardized test for Korean children under 37 month-olds. Norm tables for words and criteria for object manipulation and grammaticality are also provided. M-B CDI-K short versions could be used as a preliminary screening tool to identify Korean children with language impairment economically and efficiently. Cautions using short versions of M-B CDI-K are discussed.

음운인식은 음운론 영역의 상위언어인식 능력으로, 읽기 및 어휘력 등의 언어능력을 예측하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 음운인식 능력과 기타 음운처리 능력, 그리고 언어능력 간의 관계를 일반아동 집단과 언어발달지연 아동 집단 간 비교를 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 4~6세의 언어발달지연 아동(n=15)과 일반아동(n=18)을 대상으로 음운인식 능력을 평가하기 위하여 음절수세기, 음절탈락, 음절변별 과제를 실시하였다. 또한 비단어 따라말하기, 숫자 거꾸로 회상하기의 두 가지 음운처리 과제와 수용 및 표현어휘력, 문법성판단 과제와의 상관관계를 분석하고, 언어능력을 예측하는 음운인식 하위과제가 무엇인지 검토하였다. 음운인식 하위과제 중 음절수세기를 제외한 음절탈락, 음절변별 과제 수행력의 집단 간 차이가 유의하였다. 또한 일반아동 집단은 음절탈락과 숫자 거꾸로 회상하기, 음절변별과 수용어휘력 과제 수행력 간 상관관계가 유의하였으며, 언어발달지연 아동 집단은 음절수세기 과제와 숫자 거꾸로 회상하기, 수용어휘력, 표현어휘력, 문법성판단 과제의 수행력 간 상관관계가 유의하였다. 그리고 단계적 중다회귀분석 결과 일반아동 집단은 음절변별 과제가 수용어휘력 및 문법성판단 과제 수행력을 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났으며, 언어발달지연 아동 집단은 음절수세기 과제가 수용어휘력, 표현어휘력, 문법성판단 과제 수행력을 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 언어발달지연 아동 집단은 일반아동 집단에 비해 음절수세기를 제외한 나머지 음절 수준의 음운인식 과제의 수행력이 저조하였으며, 이러한 특징이 상관관계 분석 및 회귀분석 결과에도 반영되었다. 또한 각 집단에서 음운인식 과제 수행력이 언어능력을 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타난 결과는 음운론 영역의 상위언어인식 능력의 중요성을 시사한다.

This study explains a cooperative project between Kangwon National University (KNU) and Waseda University(WU), so called CCDLP (Cross-Cultural Distance Learning Project). The purpose of this project is to enhance the English proficiency of students at both universities by making their learning environments enjoyable and fruitful. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the role of CCDL in the EFL classroom by discussing (1) how to create the situations where students at both universities get to know and understand each other through modern technologies, (2) how to encourage the students to work closely together VC (Video Conferencing), TeleMeet, chat systems, and e-mail, and (3) how to provide a new style of learning and teaching L2. The results from a questionnaire and a grammaticality judgment test show that students have a sense of satisfaction and achievement in the English proficiency at the end of the project. The result of this project will be of great importance for future works in the use of communication systems in L2 learning and teaching.

This study questions the validity of Crosslinguistic Influence (CLI) in EFL Learning. A ten-minute grammaticality judgement test involving resumptive pronouns in English relative clauses was given to 15 female subjects. The research results, which were analysed in terns of language transfer and universalist arguments, support the existence of a universal process that guides L2 learning, and some common developmental patterns between the two processes of L1 and L2 learning. Hence, the universalist view should be given at least equal Weight as the CLI approach.

본 논문에서 우리는 문장의 문법성과 텍스트의 어휘 응집성 측정을 위주로 하는 영어 작문 자동평가시스템을 소개하려고 한다. 문법 검사를 위해서는 링크 파서를 사용하고 어휘 연쇄를 측정하기 위해서는 로제 시소러스를 사용한다. 자동 평가 시스템의 채점 신뢰도를 측정하기 위해서 자동 채점과 수동 채점의 결과를 통계적으로 비교한다. 카파 통계와 다국면 Rasch 모형에 따른 분석 결과 자동 채점은 수동 채점과 유사성이 크며 수동 채점과 비교해서 신뢰성에 특별한 문제가 없다는 결론을 내리게 된다. 본 연구의 가장 큰 의의는 다양한 종류의 기술과 도구를 바탕으로 신뢰할 만한 수준의 영작문 자동 평가 시스템을 개발했다는 것이다. 평가 대상이 문장 단위를 넘어 선 텍스트 단위이며, 단어나 문법 등의 형식적 측면만 검사하는 것이 아니라 내용적 측면도 평가한다.

This study investigates the binding behavior of the Korean anaphor 'caki', which has been regarded thus far as a long-distance anaphor (LDA). Given that even local anaphors can be bound long-distance when they function as exempt anaphors in certain languages (Pollard and Sag 1992; Kim and Yoon 2009a, b), I investigated the binding behavior of LD-bound 'caki', in order to determine whether LD-bound 'caki' differs from LD-bound 'caki-casin' in the same contexts. In the experiment, subjects were required to rate the grammaticality of Korean sentences representing various types of LD binding of 'caki' and to determine whether the sloppy or the strict reading was more prominent in elliptical VPs containing the anaphor. The results are discussed with respect to the typology of LDAs proposed by Cole, Hermon and Huang (2001).

This study investigated how Korean learners of English acquired the English reflexives. There is emphasis on the effects of the GCP and PAP(Wexler and Manzini, 1987). The purpose is to examine the major hypothesis that L2 learners are still constrained by Universal Grammar (UG), despite the influence of the parameter setting of their native language as well as the non-operation of the Subset Principle. The experimental group consisted of 30 middle school students (age 14-15), 30 high school students (age 16-17), and 30 university students (age 18-19) as well as 20 ESL students (age 16) studying English in the USA. Twenty native speakers of English served as a control group. The subjects responded to a test on reflexives that used a multiple-choice grammaticality judgement task. Findings show that L2 learners transfer their L1 parameter setting and, as a result, make errors in the choice of antecedents for reflexives. Therefore, I argue that the L2 learner is still constrained by UG.
