  • the two Korean causal conjunctive suffixes, -nula(ko) and -nun palamey, based on corpus linguistic analysis. Many of the linguistic accounts available, both in pedagogical reference and in the literature on linguistics, provide incomplete analyses of these suffixes, based on fabricated linguistic data. Using naturally occurring, real linguistic data, this paper examines the syntactic and semantic structures of the two causal suffixes through a consideration of three areas of corpus linguistic analysis: token frequencies, collocations, and semantic prosody. An analysis based on concordance data reveals that the two causal connectives, -nula(ko) and -nun palamey, have more differences than similarities in terms of syntactic and semantic constraints. The idiosyncratic structures of the two suffixes are discussed in terms of same subject condition, verb selection, same agent condition, synchronicity condition, and negative semantic prosody.

  • The purpose of the study is to examine the use of emotion vocabulary by Korean English learners. Three basic emotion fields, pleasure, anger, and fear were selected to elicit the participants' responses. L1 English speakers' data was also collected for comparison. The major results are as follows. First, English learners responded with various inappropriate verb forms like I feel~, I am~ while the majority of English native speaking teachers responded with subjunctive forms like I would feel~. In addition, L2 English learners used mostly simple and coordination sentences. Second, the lexical richness, measured through type/token ratio, was higher in English L1 data than in English L2 data. The proportion of emotion lemmas reflects the lexical richness or the diversity of the emotion words. Lastly, L2 English learners' responses focused on a few typical adjectives like happy, angry and scared. This structural and semantic distinctiveness of Korean English learners' emotion words was discussed from pedagogical perspectives.

  • 기계번역이 인간의 언어 능력을 기계로 구현한다는 점에서 전산학적 성격이 강하다면, 변환 사전은 인간의 어휘부(lexicon) 정보를 그대로 기계에 표상한다는 점에서 언어학적 성격이 강하다. 여기서는 다양한 어휘부 정보 중에서 한영 기계번역에서 필요한 언어학적 정보를 추출하고 이러한 정보를 바탕으로 적절한 동사 대역어 선택을 위한 변환 사전의 모형을 만들어 보고자 하였다. 한영 기계번역에서 적절한 동사 대역어 선택의 어려움은 한국어 동형어 처리 문제와 한국어에서는 포착되지 않지만 영어로 번역하는 과정에서 발생하는 영어 표현의 특수성 때문에 기인한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 논항과 문법 형태소, 선택제약, 개별 어휘 등의 기초적인 언어학적 개념을 이용한 변환사전을 통해 해결한다. 또한 동사 대역어 선택에 영향을 미치는 이러한 개별적인 요인들은 실제 변환사전의 기술에 있어서는 복합적으로 적용됨을 동사 '먹다'의 기술을 통해 확인할 수 있다.

  • This study explores the lexical-semantic structure of derived causative verbs in Korean based on Pustejovsky(1995)'s Generative Lexicon Theory (GL), Mor-phological causative verbs are derived from their root stems by affixing ‘-i, -hi, -li, -gi’ in Korean and the meanings of derived predicates are closely related to the meanings of their root verbs. In particular, the change of the ARGUMENT STRUCTURE by morphological derivation leads to the change of the EVENT STRUCTURE. In this study, causation is defined as the cause-effect relation having a causer. The ARGUMENT STRUCTURES of derived causative verbs includes a causer argument, which is added to the ARGUMENT STRUCTURE of their root verbs. Their EVENT STRUCTURE has a headed process related to a causer and their result is the event which their root verbs represent. This approach can also suggest that the (in)directness of causative is determined by which verb is its root and explain the difference between the morphological causativization and the syntactic causativization in Korean.

  • This article is a description of the case variation in Guarani Language, which is a relatively, rarely studied language, and more so about case phenomena. Guarani has two remarkable facts about case. First, it has two overt accusative case markers, which are differentiated by the semantic notion of boundedness as in Jackendoff(1990, 1991). The existence of accusative case markers in Guarani is attested by their behavior in the typical transitive verb sentences, the ability to occur in ECM constructions, and the interpretation of specificity which is parallel to Turkish accusative case marker realization reported in Enc(1991). Second, accusative case forms occur in adjunct positions as well as object positions in Guarani. To capture these peculiar case phenomena, an account based on some recent Minimalist ideas about case checking from Legate(2008), Bowers(2010) is shown to be available.

  • 본 논문에서는 말로써 의사소통을 하는데 장애를 겪는 사람들을 위한 보완 대체 의사소통 도구(AAC)의 구현에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 보완 대체 의사소통 도구는 단어의 의미를 그림으로 표현하고 그림들을 이용하여 의사소통을 하는 방법이 가장 일반적이며, 본 논문에서도 이러한 그림들을 이용한 방법을 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 단어 중에서 동사를 중심으로 선택된 그림들을 조합하여 문장을 생성하는 방법을 이용하였으며, 각각의 동사를 자동사, 타동사 등으로 구분하여 각각의 동사가 가지는 문장의 형태를 체계화하였으며, 사용자가 선택한 그림들을 동사의 문형 패턴에 맞게 조합하여, 표현하고자 하는 문장으로 변환시킴으로써 의사소통이 가능해지도록 하였다.

  • There have been two opposing views on the structure of the so-called head internal relative construction(HIRC) in Korean/Japanese, i.e., a view that analyzes the HIRC categorially as a nominal projection and functionally as an argument(Kuroda 1992, Watanabe 1992, Hoshi 1996, Jhang 1991/1994, among others) vs. a view that analyzes the HIRC categorially as an adjunct clause and functionally as a non-argument(Murasugi 1994). This paper on the one hand points out several phenomena indicating that Murasugi's analysis is more viable, while on the other hand proposing a more complex structure than Murasugi's to account for other facts as well. The no/kes clause in the HIRC will be analyzed as the complement of a null perception verb whose projection constitutes part of an adjunct clause.

  • English absolutes and free adjuncts, despite their abridged syntactic forms, function as full subordinating adverbial clauses, with their semantic roles varied according to the interpretation of the matrix clauses. This paper investigates how to represent the syntactic structures and semantic variability of absolutes and free adjuncts in a unified way, accounting for overlapping properties among various subtypes of the constructions on the one hand, and differences on the other. In the proposed analysis, the clausal properties of absolutes and free adjuncts are captured by the subject selecting property and the clausal meaning associated with a predicative phrase, thus not calling for a null verb or complementizer. In classifying and defining diverse subtypes of the constructions via type constraints, the present work also provides an account of different uses of with involved in absolutes and free adjuncts.
