In computer education area, abstract thinking has played a positive role in programming ability, and language experience has also affected the ability. However, most of the studies were empirical. The practical research about the relation analysis between abstract thinking and programming ability has rarely been performed. Among various types of programming abilities such as coding, debugging, and reading, this paper focused on program understanding. We analyzed the affection relation on program understanding and the interaction effect between abstract thinking level and language familiarity. We surveyed 376 high school students on their abstract thinking levels, language familiarity, academic achievement, and the program understanding abilities of C and Scratch. From the research, we knew that the abstract thinking level played an important role in understanding the iterative program for the male students. In addition, if the students had the experience on other programming languages before entering high schools, then there was an interaction effect between abstract thinking level and program language familiarity.

This study examined whether Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is related to the reduction of specific memory among linguistic memory and visuospatial memory, and to identify the most predictive index for discriminating MCI from normal elderly. The subjects were analyzed for 189 elderly (103 healthy elderly, 86 MCI). The verbal memory was used by the Seoul Verbal Learning Test. visuospatial memory was measured using the Rey Complex Figure Test. As a result of multiple logistic regression, verbal memory and visuospatial memory showed significant predictive performance in discriminating MCI from normal elderly. On the other hand, when all the confounding variables were corrected, including the results of each memory test, the predictive power was significant in distinguishing MCI from normal aging only in the immediate recall of verbal memory, and the predictive power was not significant in the immediate recall of visuospatial memory. This result suggests that delayed recall of visuospatial memory and immediate recall of verbal memory are the best combinations to discriminate memory ability of MCI.

The purpose of this study was to investigate narrative structure and meaning structure of pictures In TV reporting. TV reporting consists of linguistic representation and pictural representation with which implicate specific meanings. In the past, the latter has been considered as a kind of added material to the former. But, todays, the latter has been considered more important than the latter in implicating specific meanings. Therefore, the author analysed pictures of TV reporting. Specifically, he selected KBS TV news coverage on '9 11 Disaster of U.S.' with various semiological research methods. Through this study, firstly, It was found that the pictural representation was organized with specific narrative structure applied for linguistic representation. Secondly, its meaning was more important than one of linguistic representation. Thirdly, its styles and structures tended to confine range, abstract and limitation of meanings presented by linguistic representation. Fourthly, images of the pictural representation could be interpreted with narrative structures of linguistic representation.

This is a literature review study on personality traits' role in language learning. Personality traits play an important role in language learning. In order to review research outcomes in recent studies, articles related to language learning and personality traits were collected through research databases such as ProQuest, Google Scholar, and EBSCO. Based on the analysis of collected literature, this study revealed that extraversion and openness to experience are the personality traits leading to the successful language learning. More specifically, extraversion was related to speaking skills while openness to experience was related to listening. It is also important to note which learning strategies are more likely to be utilized in second language learning and personality traits that are more likely to use them. These findings focus on writing skills, listening skills, and speaking skills. Further studies in the field are suggested.

This paper examines ${\acute{e}}pist{\acute{e}}m{\grave{e}}$ of ${\acute{e}}criture$ and its politics in Kim, Soo-Yung's poems, focusing on 'language-letter' images such as "speech", "language", "printing type", "letter", "brush", "book" and so on. While the previous papers fail to present the overall framework of analysis on 'language-${\acute{e}}criture$' images and to show political dimensions of discourse analysis, this paper tries to overcome these limitations. It explains images of 'speech' and 'language' on the basis of Heidegger's ontological thought, and analyzes writing-images such as 'type', 'letters' using Derrida's concepts of 'archi-${\acute{e}}criture$' and '${\acute{e}}criture$'. It also gives a new name to multiple images of 'book' in his poems as 'politics of ${\acute{e}}criture$' based on problematic such as Badiou's 'ethics of truths' and Derrida's '${\acute{e}}criture$'.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of computer based cognitive rehabilitation program on the generative naming. Twenty - one patients were assigned to the CoTras program and eight were treated with traditional face - to - face language rehabilitation such as paper and table activities. The experimental group and the control group performed sequential language recall memory training, association memory recall training, language categorization memory training, and language integrated memory training for 12 weeks. The Welch's robust ANCOVA showed significant differences in mean fluency and MMSE-K changes (p<0.05). On the other hand, phonemic fluency increased significantly after 12 weeks of treatment compared to baseline in both experimental and control groups, but there was no statistically significant difference between treatment groups. The results of this study suggest that the computer based cognitive rehabilitation program may be more effective in improving the semantic fluency than the conventional cognitive-linguistic rehabilitation.

한국어 문장의 구성은 명사, 동사와 같은 내용어와 조사, 어미와 같은 기능어로 크게 나눌 수있다. 문장의 핵심적인 의미 전달은 내용어에 의해 이루어지며, 한국어 명사구의 경우 잦은 기능어의 생략으로 명사 나열에 의한 복합 명사가 발생된다. 이렇게 발생되는 복합 명사를 구성하는 단위 명사들은 일부 문장 성분을 생략시켜 발생된 것으로, 생략 성분의 복원에 의해 본래의 문장 형태를 추정할 수 있다. 한국어 복합 명사의 경우, 생략되는 문장 성분은 대부분 접사, 조사와 같은 기능어로 국한되며, 기능어의 복원은 단위 명사 간의 격 관계와 의미 관계를 분석하여 이루어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 단위 명사간의 보-술 관계를 이용하여 복합 명사를 구성하는 단위 명사 간의 의존 관계를 추정하고, 추정된 의존 관계에 의해 생략된 격조사와 용언화 접사를 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 구조 분석에서 사용되는 의미 격틀에 의해 결정되는 격 관계는 격조사와 용언화 접사의 복원을 결정하며, 올바른 본래의 문장 표현 복원을 위해 관형격 조사와 관형격 어미를 비롯한 특별한 형태의 복원은 통계 정보와 휴리스틱 규칙으로 결정한다.

In this study, we examined the interactive aspects between pitch reduction phenomena considered a universal language phenomenon and native language interference in the production of L2 intonation performed by Chinese learners of Korean. To investigate their interaction, we conducted an acoustic analysis using acoustic measures such as pitch span, pitch level, pitch dynamic quotient, skewness, and kurtosis. In addition, the correlation between text comprehension and pitch was examined. The analyzed material consisted of four Korean discourses containing five and seven sentences of varying difficulty. Seven Korean native speakers and thirty Chinese learners who differed in their Korean proficiency participated in the production test. The results, for differences by language, showed that Chinese had a more expanded pitch span, and a higher pitch level than Korean. The analysis between groups showed that at the beginner and intermediate levels, pitch reduction was prominent, i.e., their Korean was characterized by a compressed pitch span, low pitch level, and less sentence internal pitch variation. Contrariwise, the pitch use of advanced speakers was most similar to Korean native speakers. There was no significant correlation between text difficulty and pitch use. Through this study, we observed that pitch reduction was more pronounced than native language interference in the phonetic layer.
