Three types of plural forms are discovered in the ancient literature 《Chung-ui-jig-eon》: propositional plural markers placed in front of the main word - either noun or pronoun, postpositional plural markers placed behind the main word, and pro-/postpositional mixed plural markers. The Mongolian Rule in China during Yuan Dynasty caused the osmotic linguistic imperialism of the Mongolian over the Chinese language. Mongolian language - an Altaiian language which is postpositional - dominantly influenced the Chinese language - which is a propositional language. In addition, the previous usage of '輩', '等', '伟', '满' in Ancient Chinese, made it easier for '每' to be accepted and grammaticalized as a plural marker. The grammaticalization of '每' had been progressed through the reinterpretation of '每' in the structure of 'S(NP)+每+VP'. As a result, '每' had started to be widely used as a postpositional plural ending behind noun or pronoun, regardless of its position in the sentence.

This study investigates morphologically complex nouns in Korean through a series of priming studies. Two experiments examined whether morphological affixes on Korean nouns were decomposed or processed as a whole. Two types of morphological affixes were examined: morpho-syntactic case markers and the plural marker '-tul'. Results showed that priming occurred for the plural marker with SOAs of 80 ms and 160 ms, but no priming occurred for the morpho-syntactic case markers. These results suggest that the morphological processing for these two types of affixes differ. We argue that Korean nouns with the plural suffix are decomposed into the stem and affix, supporting the Decomposition Model (Pinker & Ullman, 2002). We suggest that while plural markers are truly morphological affixes, case markers in Korean are morpho-syntactic, and thus presuppose the existence of other syntactic elements, such as the matrix verb, hence the lack of priming effects.

This paper strives to characterize the singular use of the possessive marker wuli in Korean, frequently interpreted as ‘our’. Focusing on its singular use and plurality, we argue that wuli is no plural form of nay ‘my’, but that it just marks in-group membership. It is shown that the apparent plurality of wuli only arises as a by-product of the in-group membership marking. It is also presented that age and gender are important factors in selecting between wuli and nay.

In this study, listening errors by Korean EFL learners are comprehensively analyzed from self-paced passage dictation tasks. Fifty-five Korean EFL learners participated in the study. Listeners were asked to write down dictation passages as accurately as possible, while listening to the audio as much as they needed. The results show that (i) low-proficiency learners tend to misperceive longer phrases than high-proficiency learners, (ii) function words are more often omitted or misheard than content words, and (iii) low-proficiency learners have more difficulties with content words than high-proficiency learners do. Most frequent suffix errors were omissions of past or plural suffixes. Among the function words, the most frequent errors were found with auxiliary contractions, infinitive marker to, and articles, mostly in the environment of linking and elision. It is also shown that C-V linking, C-C linking, and elision are the primary sources for the most frequent errors. C-V linking led to errors in correctly locating the word boundary, while C-C linking and elision resulted in omission. These errors show that Korean EFL listeners have difficulties in detecting fine-grained phonetic details to the extent that native speakers can do.

By reading the main character, Rene Gallimard, in M. Butterfly as a spatial metaphor of America, this article examines how homogeneous American national identity of heterosexuality and white masculinity has been reinforced since the cold war and has constituted a crisis of hegemony with the decline of imperialism and how its pathological symptom is shown through the melancholic suicide of Gallimard. This article also argues how the feminine attributes implied in race, gender and sexuality in M. Butterfly are designated and allegorized as an impure, contaminated and ahistorical marker of national integrity in pthe social and material status of the heterosexual American white male. To develop my argument, I read M. Butterfly from a psychoanalytic point of view. Therefore I depend on Freud, Lacan, and Bhabha's psychoanalysis as the theoretical basis. In this paper, I also argue that the homogenized and fixed national identity is splitted and collapsed from within as shown in the Gallimard's melancholy and in the process of splitting the "Third Space" of hybrid subjects for the marginal and the emergent like Song Liling, a homosexual Asian man, can be built "from a space in-between." Therefore Hwang calls into questions conventions of fixed, essentialist identities through the shifting gender identities between Song and Gallimard in M. Butterfly and how identities in the plural are constructed variously in throughly historicized, politicized situations, and these constructions can be complicated by relations of power.

과학교육 논문의 글쓰기 실태를 한국어 기초 문법과 번역투의 측면에서 조사하고 그 개선점을 찾아보았다. 과학교육 연구는 사회과학과 자연과학의 특성을 모두 나타내며 양적 연구를 더 많이 하는 특징이 있어 논문 글쓰기 방식에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이 연구에서 번역투는 순수한 한국어가 아닌 외국어에서 유래한 상투적 표현을 말한다. 한국어 기초 문법은 호응의 문제, 맞춤법 띄어쓰기 문장 부호의 문제, 사동표현의 문제, 무분별한 영어 사용의 문제로 정리하였고, 번역투는 영어번역의 문제, 일본어 번역의 문제, 영어와 일본어 번역의 문제로 구분하였다. 이에 따라 한국과학교육학회지 한 호에 실린 논문 9편의 글쓰기 중에서 한국어 기초 문법에 어긋나는 사례와 번역투에 해당하는 사례를 찾아 문제를 논의하고 대안을 제시하였다. 빈도가 높은 문제사례는 '~적', '영어 사용', '복수 표현', '하다류 피동', '~고 있는', '~을 통하여', '~에 대하여', '가지다', '관형격조사 ~의', '사물주어 수동태', '사동(시키다)' 등이었다. 연구 결과에 기초하여 과학교육 소논문의 글쓰기 특징을 '양적 연구의 글쓰기', '학술 연구의 객관적 글쓰기', '외국에서 유래한 연구의 글쓰기' 세 가지로 정리하였다. 과학교육 논문 글쓰기에 나타나는 문제를 개선하기 위해 과학교육 연구자는 한국어 기초 문법과 번역투에 관심을 기울이고, 구체적인 사례와 내용을 숙지할 필요가 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 한국어 글쓰기 교육과 문법 교육에 활용할 수 있다.
