한국어 용언과 체언어절의 형태소 정보처리 관련 대뇌영역

The paper deals with experimental results which was performed to investigate the characteristics of Korean lexical processing and representation of morphemes involved in Korean noun and verb Eojeols. The investigation is also related with the 'English past tense debate' which deals with human mental computation. Experiments using fMRI methods, show that Korean noun Eojeols and both regular and irregular verb Eojeols show a similar activation pattern. Thus, the results indicate that the morphological processing in Korean noun and verb Eojeols are performed quite differently than the Indo-European morphological processing.
