  • Simulation has been recognized as one of major application areas of world wide web. Over the last several years, most research has been focused on the development of web-based simulation languages mostly using JAVA and validation of simulation modeling on web with the newly developed languages. In this paper, we develop a tentative web-based simulator for a simple unit-load automated warehouse system, named Web-SAW. In constructing Web-SAW, we program a user interface program, a simulation logic program, and an animation program with JAVA while utilizing the class library functions and embodiment environment of existing web-based simulation languages. Web-SAW simulates the automated warehouse system with the user input about system operation, displays the animation on a static background representing the system, and generates the various textual outputs after simulation.

  • Vowels are fundamental elements of spoken language, providing insights into linguistic patterns and phonological systems. This study examines vowel inventories from 913 languages in a database, analyzing their statistical distributions. It investigates unique vowels within each language category, focusing on the two major dimensions of vowel height and backness, including diphthongs. The results show that vowel phonemes without diacritics constitute 30% of all distinct vowel types but account for 64% of the total vowel phonemes, highlighting the dominance of primary vowel articulations. The most frequent vowels are /i/, followed by /u/, /a/, /o/, /e/, /ɛ/, and /ɔ/. Multidimensional scaling of vowels, with or without diacritics, reveals distinctive clusters and co-occurrence patterns, necessitating more detailed analysis. Future research should consider the establishment of linguistic criteria on vowel representation and incorporate actual speech data for comprehensive linguistic studies.

  • Educational programming languages help learners to easily understand and use computer system itself. They also enhance the reasoning power and the contemplative faculty of learners. However, in spite of the importance of educational programming languages in education, there has not been much research and development on them compared with general purpose programming languages. In this paper, we propose and examine a new educational programming environment TWo (Turtle World) which is designed for learners to utilize the recent information technologies. Aimed at being used as a learning and working tool for multimedia programming and processing, TWo is a web-based reflective object-oriented Hangul programming environment which provides each learner with the learning environment according to his intellectual ability to learn.

  • Globalization and informatization today mean the world wide spread of the information made by America, the American mode of thinking, the American way of life, and the English language based on the world wide information network led by America. Under this worldly currents, all He Korean wish to learn English. Now English turns to be the essential means to survival in Korea. In this article, we try to interpret this blindly pursuit of English from the point of view of the war of languages. For this purpose, we begin to examine the position of English in the world from the perspective of linguistic imperialism. Next, we review the linguistic reality of South Korea penetrated by English from the perspective of officialization of English in Korea. Finally, we propose to modernize and informatiz Korean to fight against the penetration of English into Korean culture. It depends on the success or failure of the development of the computer system operated by Korean.

  • This paper provides an analysis of the linear constituent order of the NP in three different types of languages based on 33 languages: the NP with the prenominal modifiers, the NP with the postnominal modifiers, and the NP with both prenominal and postnominal modifiers (the mixed NP). Languages have NPs that feature different linear order, of the NP constituents. We attribute such different linear constituent orders within the NP to the linguistic distance and the limits imposed by the constituency and adjacency. We use the various kinds of alignment constraints which properly reflect the linguistic distance between the noun and each constituent. Language universals on word order provide us some general orders of various NP constituents. If we adopt the linguistic distance, the limits imposed by the constituency and the adjacency, and the alignment constraints, we can explain the complicated differences of NP constituent orders of languages of the world.

  • Starting as a poet, I learned about the sounds of words with David Abercrombie. Then, remembering my background in physics, I moved to studying acoustic phonetics and speech synthesis. From there I learned about psychology and how. to test perceptual theories. A meeting with a physiologist led to work on the use of the respiratory muscles in speech. Later I landed in Africa teaching English phonetics and learning about African languages. When I went to UCLA to set up a lab I was able to find bright students who helped make computer models of the vocal tract and taught me linguistic theory. And I was able to continue wandering around the world, describing the sounds of a wide range of languages.

  • The trend of using Grasshopper with Rhino3D actively in architectural design process is recently spreading around the world. Well-known architects and designers such as Zaha Hadid, Patrik Schmacher is famous for using Grasshopper as their main design tool. As a tool for so-called 'Parametric Design', Grasshopper is receiving much attention all over the world. Grasshopper as a visual programming language has an advantage that designers and non-professionals of computer can easily learn it and use it to their works. However, those designers tend to make inefficient approaches with Grasshopper compared to computer programming professionals. Meanwhile, the difference between other programming languages and Grasshopper leads to the need of different approaches from other programming languages. This study aims to propose desired approaches of Grasshopper programming or scripting to be able to break through the inefficient approaches that designer is likely to make, by examining the characteristics of Grasshopper and exploring the appropriate programming approaches for Grasshopper.

  • This paper is a comparative study of English loans in Russian and Swahili. In the twenty first century, due to the advantage of English as a global language, a language of technology and business, it has had contact with many languages of the world and has become a major source of loans to many languages. Though very different from each other, both Russian and Swahili currently have English as their main source of loanwords. This study reports the extensive adaptation of English loans by Russian and Swahili and examines how these loan items are assimilated into the two languages. It concludes that besides the adaption of pure English loans they have both employed other strategies such as loan translations, semantic extensions and loanblends for vocabulary expansion.

  • Programmers use multiple languages to reuse legacy code best suited to their problems. However, it is quite challenging to develop error-free multilingual programs because new types of bugs occur since misunderstanding about language interfaces such as Java Native Interface (JNI) and Python/C. There is a considerable amount of research to overcome multilingual program bugs and errors but these researches have less consideration about substantiality of programming languages, language interfaces, and bugs to evaluate their analyses and tools. In this paper, we have identified and establish substantiality of multilingual programming research with empirical study about diversity and interoperability of programming languages in Ubuntu software ecosystem based on real-world statistical data.

  • The purpose of this paper is to find a methodology for parsing Korean by the method of 'Universal Dependencies'. Universal Dependencies expresses the annotation marking system that can be applied to the formal patterns and syntactic relationships of various types of languages. The UD project presents a framework for consistently annotated multi-lingual treebank corpus for various languages around the world through the 'CoNLL shared task' and is currently applied to more than 50 languages. This flow has a great influence on research related to not only the UD project itself but also the syntactic annotation for individual languages, and efforts are being made to apply the universally dependent syntax analysis marking system in the UD according to the characteristic of the individual language. When annotation labels cannot be applied due to the nature of the Korean language in consideration of compatibility, they need to be excluded. Among DEPREL labels, several labels are difficult to apply in Korean when looking at the specific items. In this paper,, DEPREL overall annotation system of UD was translated and a representative category of elements that needed to be transformed was selected to discuss the actuality of linguistic convergence and its application.
