Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is gradually breaking down the boundary between human and machine translation. We look at actual cases of human and machine translation and discuss why machine translation needs a human touch. In this paper, we raise three driving questions: Can humans be replaced by machines?; How human translators can remain successful in a NMT-driven world?; Is it possible to eliminate language barrier in the era of NMT and World Englishes? The answers to these questions are all negative. We suggest that machine translation is a useful tool with rapidity, accuracy, and low cost productivity. However, the machine translation is limited in the areas of culture, borrowing, ambiguity, new words and (national) dialects. The machines cannot imitate the emotional and intellectual abilities of human translators since machines are based on machine learning, while humans are on intuition. The machine translation will be a useful tool that does not cause moral problems when using methods such as back translation and human post-editing. To conclude, we propose the blended approach that machine translation cannot be completed without the touch of human translation.

본 연구는 한영 기계 번역을 위한 사전 중에서 한국어 조사 사전에 대한 모델을 제시하였다. 특히 정확한 역어 선택을 위한 제약정보를 수집하는데 중점을 두었다. 지금까지의 한국어 조사에 대한 역어 선택 방법은 체언의 속성 정보에 의한 역어 선택과 default 역어의 선택이었다. 그러나 한국어의 한 조사에 대응하는 영어의 전치사의 수가 너무 많음으로 인하여 이러한 기존의 방법을 사용할 경우 고질의 변역은 기대할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 정확한 역어의 선택을 위하여 조사의 격 분류와 체언의 속성 정보를 더욱 세분화 시키고, 이를 이용한 용언의 기본 구문 패턴을 재정립하였다. 또한 한 두개의 default 역어로 인한 번역의 부 정확성을 탈피하기 위하여 default 역어 및 체언의 속성 정보에 의한 역어를 용언의 의미적 분류에 의해 더욱 세분화시킴으로써 정확한 역어를 선택하는 방법을 제시하였다.

Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (Piper et al., 1998)은 미국에서 개발된 암환자의 피로를 측정하는 자가보고서 형식의 도구이다. 이 도구는 총 22문항으로 네 개의 구성요소로 이루어져 있으며, 미국인 유방암 환자를 대상으로 신뢰도와 타당도가 검증되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국 유방암 환자를 대상으로 Revised Piper Fatigue Scale의 구성타당도를 재평가하기 위함이다. 총 122명의 유방암 환자가 번역-역번역 과정을 거쳐 한국어로 번역된 Revised Piper Fatigue Scale에 응답을 하였고 그 자료는 요인분석 (principal axis analysis with oblique rotation)에 의해 분석되었다. 요인분석 결과, 총 19문항으로 이루어진 네 개의 구성요소가 도출되었다. 총문항의 Cronbach's alpha는 .93이었고, 도출된 네 요인들의 alpha는 .84에서 .91이었다. 한국어로 번역된 총 19문항의 Revised Piper Fatigue Scale(revised PFS-K)은 한국인 유방암 환자에게도 적용될 수 있는 신뢰도와 타당도가 검증된 도구라 할 수 있다. 앞으로 다양한 한국인 암환자를 대상으로 계속해서 도구 검증이 이루어지기를 제언한다.

Emotional expressions are expressions that show the internal condition of mind or consciousness. Types of emotional expressions include vocabulary that describes emotion, the composition of sentences that expresses emotion such as an exclamatory sentence and rhetorical question, expressions of interjection, appellation, causative, passive, adverbs of attitude for an idea, and a style of writing. This study focuses on vocabulary that describes emotion and analyzes the aspect of translation when emotional expressions of 'Hu(怖)' is shown on "Kokoro". The aspect of translation was analyzed by three categories as follows; a part of speech, handling of subjects, and classification of meanings. As a result, the aspect of translation for expressions of Hu(怖)' showed that they were translated to vocabulary as they were suggested in the dictionary in some cases. However, they were not always translated as they were suggested in the dictionary. Vocabulary that described the emotion of 'Hu(怖)' in Japanese sentences were mostly translated to their corresponding parts of speech in Korean. Some adverbs needed to add 'verbs' when they were translated. Also, different vocabulary was added or used to maximize emotion. However, the correspondence of a part of speech in English was different from Korean. Examples of Japanese sentences that expressed 'Hu(怖)' by verbs were translated to expression of participles for passive verbs such as 'fear', 'dread', 'worry', and 'terrify' in many cases. Also, idioms were translated with focus on the function of sentences rather than the form of sentences. Examples, what was expressed in adverbs did not accompany verbs of 'Hu (怖)'. Instead, it was translated to the expression of participles for passive verbs and adjectives such as 'dread', 'worry', and 'terrify' in many cases. The main agents of emotion were shown in the first person and the third person in simple sentences. The translation on emotional expressions when a main agent was the first person showed that the fundamental word order of Japanese was translated as it was in Korean. However, adverbs of time and adverbs of degree tended to be added. Also, the first person as the main agent of emotion was positioned at the place of subject when it was translated in English. However, things or the cause of events were positioned at the place of subject in some cases to show the degree of 'Hu(怖)' which the main agent experienced. The expression of conjecture and supposition or a certain visual and auditory basis was added to translate the expression of emotion when the main agent of emotion was the third person. Simple sentences without a main agent of emotion showed that their subjects could be omitted even if they were essential components because they could be known through context in Korean. These omitted subjects were found and translated in English. Those subjects were not necessarily humans who were the main agents of emotion. They could be things or causes of events that specified the expression of emotion.

This study is focused on vocabulary that describes emotion and analyzes the aspect of translation when emotional expression of 'Kyo(驚)' is shown in "Kokoro". As a result, the aspect of translation for expression of 'Kyo(驚)' showed that it was translated to vocabulary as suggested in the dictionary in some cases. However, it was not always translated as suggested in the dictionary. Vocabulary that describes the emotion of 'Kyo(驚)' in Japanese sentences is mostly translated to corresponding parts of speech in Korean. Some adverbs needed to add 'verbs' when they were translated. Different vocabulary was added or used to maximize emotion. However, the corresponding part of speech in English was different from Korean. Examples of Japanese sentences expressing 'Kyo(驚)' by verbs were translated to expression of participles for passive verbs such as 'surprise' 'astonish' 'amaze' 'shock' 'frighten' 'stun' in many cases. Idioms were also translated with focus on the function of sentences rather than the form of sentences. Those expressed in adverbs did not accompany verbs of 'Kyo(驚)'.

여러 분야에서 computer의 이용이 활발해짐에 따라 computer에 대한 올 바른 이해와 일반이 널리 이용할 수 있는 편리한 사용법의 연구를 필요로 하여 본 연구소 전자계산실에서는 computer언어의 한글화를 착한하여 Automatic Language Translation과 이를 활용한 한글 program의 일반화를 시도하여 보았 다. computer에 의한 번역은 1950년부터 연구의 대상이 되어 1960년 Harvard 대 학의 Oettinger교수 team에 의한 Russian$\longrightarrow$English 번역을 계기로 현재 각 국에 서 활발히 연구 개발 중인 테-마이다. 특히 개발 도상에 있는 우리나라로써는 이 과제를 해결하여 선진국의 기술정보, 학술 논문, 참고 서적 등을 어학능력에 구애 됨이 없이, 광범위하게 접할 수 있게 된다면 국가적인 발전에 기여할 수 있음은 물론 교육적인 견지에서도 다대한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 언어는 특수한 지 역의 환경과 공동 관심속에서 고래의 뿌리깊은 전통과 관습으로 계승되어온 의사 전달의 매개체로써 특종의 適否에 대한 외적 조건을 만족시켜야 한다는 점이 분 명하여 생성된 문장들이 그 언어를 사용하는 토박이에게 충분히 용납되어야 한다 는 점에서 한 언어를 다른 언어로 번역하는데는 허다한 난점이라는 가정하에 무 한수의 문장을 만들어 낼 수 있다는 가능성을 가진 것으로 일종의 반복 장치를 가지게 되면 무한수의 문장을 생성할 수 있다는 이론을 근거로 한글 program, 한 영 번역 및 영한 번역의 실험 작업 단계에서 그 중간 과정을 소개해 본다.

There are many syntactic similarities between Japanese and Korean language. These similarities enable us to build Japanese-Korean translation systems without depending cm sophisticated syntactic analysis and semantic analysis. To further improve translation accuracy, we have been developing a Japanese-Korean translation system using these similarities for several years. However, there still remain some problems with regard to translation of inflected words, processing of multi-translatable words and so on. In this paper, we propose a new method for Japanese-Koran machine translation by using the relationships of two neighboring words. To solve the problems, we investigate the connection rules of auxiliary verb priority. And we design the translation table, which consists of entry tables and connection form tables. for unambiguous words, we can translate a Japanese word to the corresponding Korean word in terms of direct-matching method by consulting the only entry table. Otherwise we have to evaluate the connection value computed from connection form tables and then we can select the most appropriate target word.

There are many syntactic similarities between Japanese and Korean languages. Using these similarities, we can make out the Japanese-Korean translation system without most of syntactic analysis and semantic analysis. To improve the translation rates greatly, we have been developing the Japanese-Korean translation system using these similarities from several years ago. However, the system remains some problems such as a translation of inflected words, processing of multi-translatable words and so on. In this paper, we suggest the new method of Japanese-Korean translation by using relations of two neighboring words. To solve the problems, we investigated the connection rules of auxiliary verbs priority. And we design the translation table which is consists of entry tables and connection forms tables. A case of only one translation word, we can translate a Korean to Japanese by direct matching method use of only entry table, otherwise we have to evaluate the connection value by connection forms tables and then we can select the best translation word.
