The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of defining concrete and abstract nouns for the elderly. A total of 382 elderly participated in this study and they were classified into four age groups (i.e., over 55 to under 64, over 65 to under 74, over 75 to under 84, and over 85 year-old group). They performed the word definition task, composed of five concrete and five abstract nouns. The total scores and numbers and ratio of core/supplementary meanings were compared among four elderly groups. The frequency and ratio of error types were also examined. The results showed that all four groups had statistically significant differences in total scores, numbers and ratio of core and supplementary meaning of concrete noun definition task. In addition, abstract noun definition performances revealed group differences except the two groups (over 75 to under 84 and over 85-year-old group). The oldest group showed a sharp increase in error production. The highest ratio of error types were personal experience in over 55 to under 64-year-old group, and over 65 to under 74 year-old groups; and for the target word repetition in over 75 to under 84 year-old group; and no response in over 85 year-old group. In conclusion, both concrete and abstract word defining abilities had age-related deterioration. This decline results from impairment in spreading semantic knowledge within semantic network, which is vulnerable to aging. Characteristics of word definition for elderly can provide basic information to understand various neurolinguistic disorders associated with age.

자연어 표상은 자연어가 가진 정보를 컴퓨터에게 전달하기 위해 표현하는 방법이다. 현재 자연어 표상은 학습을 통해 고정된 벡터로 표현하는 것이 아닌 문맥적 정보에 의해 벡터가 변화한다. 그 중 BERT의 경우 Transformer 모델의 encoder를 사용하여 자연어를 표상하는 기술이다. 하지만 BERT의 경우 학습시간이 많이 걸리며, 대용량의 데이터를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 빠른 자연어 표상 학습을 위해 의미 정보와 BERT를 결합한 개념 언어 모델을 제안한다. 의미 정보로 단어의 품사 정보와, 명사의 의미 계층 정보를 추상적으로 표현했다. 실험을 위해 ETRI에서 공개한 한국어 BERT 모델을 비교 대상으로 하며, 개체명 인식을 학습하여 비교했다. 두 모델의 개체명 인식 결과가 비슷하게 나타났다. 의미 정보가 자연어 표상을 하는데 중요한 정보가 될 수 있음을 확인했다.
