This study investigates the relationship between lexical sophistication features and English proficiency for Korean college students. Essays from the ICNALE(International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English) corpus were analyzed, using TAALES program. In order to examine whether or not there are statistically significant differences in lexical sophistication features across three groups, MANOVA was conducted. Results showed that the lexical sophistication features were significantly affected by English proficiency level. Essays written by Korean students with different English proficiency levels can be differentiated in terms of various lexical sophistication features including content words frequency, content words familiarity, lexical decision mean reaction time function words, hypernymy verbs, word naming response time function words, age of acquisition content words.

This study explored the lexical sophistication features to distinguish the group membership of English proficiency, using the automatic analysis program of lexical sophistication. A total of 600 essays written by 300 Korean college students were extracted from the ICNALE (International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English) corpus and a discriminant function analysis was performed using SPSS program. Results showed that the lexical features to distinguish three groups of English proficiency are SUBTLEXUS frequency content words, age of acquisition content words, lexical decision mean reaction time function words, and hypernymy verbs. High-level Korean students used frequent content words from SUBTLEXUS corpus to a lesser degree and produced more sophisticated words that can be learned at a later age and take longer reaction time in lexical decision task, and more concrete verbs.

세종전자사전이 궁극적으로 범용전자사전을 지향한다는 점에 비추어 볼 때, 텍스트 자동 분석과 생성, 정보 검색 및 자동 번역 등에 활용될 데이터베이스로서의 전자사전은 자연 언어 어휘의 내적 구조와 기능방식에 관한 정보들, 가령 음운 통사 의미 화용적 가치와 실현 조건 등에 관한 정보들을 체계적이고도 정교하게 담고 있어야만 한다. 의존명사, 대명사, 수사 범주에 속하는 언어 단위들은 단일 명사와 구별되는 어휘 통사적 속성들을 지니며, 사전의 기술 구조에는 그 정보 값들을 체계적으로 명시화할 수 있는 정보 항목과 표상 구조가 설정되어야 한다. 가령 의존명사처럼 통사 의미적 자율성을 지니지 않는 언어 요소의 경우, 어휘 관계 정보보다는 인접하는 여타 언어 단위들과의 호응관계나 결합제약 조건들이 더 중요한 정보일 수 있다. 본 사전이 체언사전의 하위사전으로 별도로 구축되는 것은 단일어 사전에서 그러한 정보들을 효과적으로 표상하기 어렵기 때문이다. 그러나 본 사전은 실제적으로는 체언사전에 통합되어 운영된다는 점에서 이중적 지위를 누린다고 하겠다.

The purpose of the present study is to compare paper and pencil test utilized to identify gifted students so far to the recently introduced teacher observation-recommendation system. More specifically, this study compared intelligence, career patterns, and self- regulated learning abilities of gifted students who were identified through those two different identification system to explore the possibility of the newly introduced teacher observation-recommendation system. The results show that there was no significant difference in the aspect of overall IQ score. However, students who were identified through the observation-recommendation system showed significantly higher scores at some subscores of intelligence test, such as vocabulary application, comprehension, and schematization. In the aspects of career patterns, about 72% of gifted students who were identified through the previous paper and pencil test belonged to the 'investigative' category of Holland. But more diverse career patterns such as enterprising, social, realistic, conventional including investigative categories were found in those students who were identified by the observation-recommendation system. There were also significant differences in the self-regulated learning abilities between two groups of students. Practical implications of the study were discussed in depth.
