This study examined the foreign accent of Korean speakers of English concerning vowel length and utterance position. It then attempts to explain the foreign accent of Koreans when they speak English. The method was to measure the sentence-initial and sentence-final vowels as spoken by Koreans. I chose these two positions, sentence-initial and sentence-final, in order to know if Korean speakers of English, compared with native English speakers, show a difference in sentence stress. I chose English diphthongs, because most Koreans have difficulty pronouncing these sounds. I found that Korean speakers of English as a second language do not know English sentence stress patterns and show a foreign accent, especially when using diphthongs.

실용적인 기계번역 시스템을 위한 구문 분석은 긴 문장의 분석을 허용하여야 하는데 긴 문장의 분석은 높은 분석의 복잡도 때문에 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 긴 문장의 효율적인 분석을 위해 문장을 분할하는 방법을 제안하며 통계 정보와 유전자 학습에 의한 최적의 문장 분할 위치 결정 방법을 소개한다. 문장 분할 위치의 결정은 분할 위치가 태그된 훈련 데이타에서 얻어진 어휘 문맥 제한 조건을 이용하여 입력문장의 분할 가능 위치를 결정하는 부분과 여러 개의 분할 가능 위치 중에서 안전한 분할을 보장하고 보다 많은 분석의 효율 향상을 얻을 수 있는 최적의 분할 위치를 학습을 통해 선택하는 부분으로 구성된다. 실험을 통해 제안된 문장 분할 위치 결정 방법이 안전한 분할을 수행하며 문장 분석의 효율을 향상시킴을 보인다.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the usage of Korean markers -(n)un and -i/ka in editorial texts focusing on information structure. Noun phrases ending with the markers -(n)un and -i/ka were annotated semi-automatically using a corpus obtained from an online newspaper. Two important factors to determine the choice of markers were examined with the annotated data: referential givenness/newness and position in a sentence. Referential givenness and newness were adopted as indicators of information structure, topic and focus respectively. In addition to quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis was conducted on the selected data. The results suggest that both the marker -(n)un and -i/ka could carry a topic and a focus reading. Sentence position also played a crucial role in determining the marker, and the marker -i/ka was used more frequently in a later position of a sentence than the marker -(n)un.

This thesis describes pronunciation differences of vowel lengths between Koreans and Americans speaking English words and sentences. This study also analizes the reasons for these differences with the help of acoustic instruments. Sixteen sentences and eight words were selected as the experimental material. The informants for this study were 9 males; 3 Americans and 6 Koreans, who were asked to pronounce the test words and sentences five times. In this study, the acoustical analysis to measure duration was done through computer digital techniques. According to the results of the experiment, duration of 8 English vowels pronounced between Koreans and Americans shows very different features. When Koreans pronounce English vowels, the duration of the stressed vowel in the sentence-final position is much shorter than in other positions, such as in the sentence-initial and in word position. On the contrary, when Americans pronounce English vowels, the duration of the stressed vowel in the sentence-final position is much longer than in other positions. If the correlation between length and stress were to be studied in a more detailed manner, it would give fundamental help to the study of relation between stress and length.

본 연구는 뉴스 기사에서 기사문을 구성하는 문장별 중요도를 고려하여 요약문을 추출하는 방법에 관한 것으로 문장 중요도에 영향을 주는 특성으로 중심 문장(Topic Sentence)일 확률, 기사 제목 및 다른 문장과의 유사도, 문장 위치에 따른 가중치를 추출하여 문장 중요도를 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 이때, 중심 문장(Topic Sentence)은 일반 문장과는 구별되는 특징을 가질 것이라는 가설을 세우고, 딥러닝 기반 분류 모델을 학습시켜 입력 문장에 대한 중심 문장 확률값을 구한다. 또한 사전학습된 ELMo 언어 모델을 활용하여 문맥 정보를 반영한 문장 벡터값을 기준으로 문장간 유사도를 계산하여 문장 특성으로 추출한다. LSTM 및 BERT 모델의 중심 문장 분류성능은 정확도 93%, 재현율 96.22%, 정밀도 89.5%로 높은 분석 결과가 나왔으며, 이렇게 추출된 문장 특성을 결합하여 문장별 중요도를 계산한 결과, 기존 TextRank 알고리즘과 비교하여 중심 문장 추출 성능이 10% 정도 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study focuses on improving a word embedding model to enhance the performance of downstream tasks, such as those of dialog systems. To improve traditional word embedding models, such as skip-gram, it is critical to refine the word features and expand the context model. In this paper, we approach the word model from the perspective of subword embedding and attempt to extend the context model by integrating various sentence models. Our proposed sentence model is a subword-based skip-thought model that integrates self-attention and relative position encoding techniques. We also propose a clustering-based dialog model for downstream task verification and evaluate its relationship with the sentence-model-based subword embedding technique. The proposed subword embedding method produces better results than previous methods in evaluating word and sentence similarity. In addition, the downstream task verification, a clustering-based dialog system, demonstrates an improvement of up to 4.86% over the results of FastText in previous research.

There are several English constructions in which a certain constituent appears to the left of its canonical position, typically sentence-initially, leaving its canonical position empty. Such constructions involve Left-dislocation and Y-movement. These operations are called ‘Preposing.’ The preposed constituent of such constructions is generally regarded as the topic of the sentence which involves that constituent. Topics must have at least two features; ‘aboutness’ and ‘givenness.’ The feature ‘aboutness’ defines the range of comment, and the feature ‘givenness’ means ‘informationally old or given.’ The purpose of this paper is to show that the function of Preposing is to reinforce the aboutness of the preposed constituent of a sentence and that most preposed constituents have givenness. We examined Preposing for this purpose. Tough-movement and Passivization were examined also, because they have characteristics informationally similar to those of Preposing.

This study has two main purposes. One is to explore the relationship between syntactic aspects and prosodic aspects in Standard Korean. The other is to provide speech synthesis with the information about such relationship. This study will focus on the prosodic behavior of subjective particles'-i/-ga', '-eun/-neun'. The prosodic features of subjective particles are described respectively. How do the elements such as the position of particles in a sentence, the sentence constituents, the length of the sentence and the rhythmic boundaries influence on the prosodic behavior are also investigated.

고려 개인발원사경에 나타난 발원문은 고려불교사 정리를 위해서 중요한 연구 자료이지만 사학, 서지학 미술사학을 위해서도 중요한 자료라 아니 할 수 없다. 특히 개인발원 사경에서는 발원자들이 자신들의 관직을 밝히고 있어, "고려사" 백관지에 나타난 관제와 비교함으로서 고려관제사연구에도 좋은 자료가 될 수 있다. 발원문에 나타난 내용에는 사경의 성격이 나타나고 있어, 불교사상사 쪽에서도 주목할 만한 자료이다. 또한 발원문을 통해 시재자와 발원문을 쓴 사경의 발원주체인 고승대덕들의 원을 구명 할 수 있어, 고려사회의 단면을 엿볼 수 있다.

The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate prosodic characteristics of English as spoken by Koreans. Test materials were four English words, a sentence, and a paragraph. Six female Korean speakers and five native English speakers participated in acoustic and perceptual experiments. Pitch and duration of word syllables were measured from signals and spectrograms made by the Signalize 3.04 software program for Power Mac 7200. In the perceptual experiment, accent position, intonation patterns, rhythm patterns and phrasing were evaluated by the five native English speakers. Preliminary results from this limited study show that prosodic characteristics of Koreans include (1) pitch on the first part of a word and sentence is lower than that of English speakers, but the pitch on the last part is the opposite; (2) word prosody is quite similar to that of an English speaker, but sentence prosody is quite different; (3) the weakest point of sentence prosody spoken by Koreans is in the rhythmic pattern.
