English inversion constructions are not only hard for non-native speakers to learn but also difficult to teach mainly because of their intriguing grammatical and discourse properties. This paper addresses grammatical issues in learning or teaching the so-called 'predicate inversion (PI)' construction (e.g., Equally important in terms of forest depletion is the continuous logging of the forests). In particular, we chart the grammatical (distributional, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic) properties of the PI construction, and argue for adata-driven teaching for English grammar. To depart from the arm-chaired style of grammar teaching (relying on author-made simple sentences), our teaching method introduces a datadriven teaching. With total 25 university students in a grammar-related class, students together have analyzed the British Component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-GB), containing about one million words distributed across a variety of textual categories. We have identified total 290 PI sentences (206 from spoken and 87 from written texts). The preposed syntactic categories of the PI involve five main types: AdvP, PP, VP(ed/ing), NP, AP, and so, all of which function as the complement of the copula. In terms of discourse, we have observed, supporting Birner and Ward's (1998) observation that these preposed phrases represent more familiar information than the postposed subject. The corpus examples gave us the three possible types: The preposed element is discourse-old whereas the postposed one is discourse-new as in Putting wire mesh over a few bricks is a good idea. Both preposed and postposed elements can also be discourse new as in But a fly in the ointment is inflation. These two elements can also be discourse old as in Racing with him on the near-side is Rinus. The dominant occurrence of the PI in the spoken texts also supports the view that the balance (or scene-setting) in information structure is the main trigger for the use of the PI construction. After being exposed to the real data and in-depth syntactic as well as informationstructure analysis of the PI construction, it is proved that the class students have had a farmore clear understanding of the construction in question and have realized that grammar does not mean to live on by itself but tightly interacts with other important grammatical components such as information structure. The study directs us toward both a datadriven and interactive grammar teaching.

Ecological drought consequences have received a lot of attention in recent years. Thus, ecological drought was proposed as a new drought category to characterize the impact of drought on ecosystems. The current study used a unique drought index, the standardized supply-demand water index (SSDI), and a run theory to detect ecological drought occurrences and characteristics such as drought-affected area, drought severity, drought duration, drought frequency, and drought orientation in the Hwang River, an environmentally valuable region. Hence, to assess drought-prone areas, the bivariate probability and return period will be calculated using a two-dimensional joint copula. The core results show that (a) the Spatio-temporal characteristics of ecological drought were successfully recognized using the spatial and temporal identification approach; (b) in comparison to the SPEI meteorological drought index, the SSDI is more credible and can more readily and effectively capture the entire properties of ecological drought information; (c) the Hwang river had seen the most severe drought occurrences between the late 1990s and the mid-2020s, with 48.3 percent occurring before the twenty-first century; (d) Severe ecological drought occurrences occurred more frequently in most areas of the Hwang River (e) Only the drought duration and severity in the Hwang area were more responsive to temperature when temperatures rise around 1.1℃, the average drought duration and severity rise around 16 % and 26 %, respectively. This suggested that the Hwang River has been exposed to more severe heat stress in the twenty-first century. Thereupon droughts in the twenty-first century occurred with bigger affected regions, longer durations, higher frequency, and more intensity.

e-커머스 플랫폼 문헌에서 유효한 관점 중 하나는 정보 비대칭 상황에서의 판매자 신호전략이다. 본 연구에서는 판매자의 신호전략이 소비자의 의사결정에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 탐색하기 위해 신호이론과 쇼핑목표이론을 기반으로 연구모델을 구성하였다. 구체적으로 소비자의 쇼핑 목표에 따라 판매자가 제공하는 신호 효과(i.e., 평판, 온라인 구전 비율, 가격)에 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 실증분석을 위해서는 대표적인 e-커머스 플랫폼인 아마존을 대상으로 26,246개의 데이터를 수집하여 가우시안 코플라 방법을 활용하였다. 분석결과, 판매자가 제공하는 신호는 수익에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 효과는 소비자의 쇼핑목표에 따라 조절되는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 쇼핑목표이론을 기반으로 소비자가 입력하는 키워드에 따라 판매자의 신호전략 효과에 차이가 있다는 점을 발견함으로써 신호이론 및 전자상거래 문헌에 기여하였다.

기후변화의 영향으로 극심한 가뭄에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 피해를 줄이기 위하여 극한 가뭄에 대한 정량적인 분석이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 극한 가뭄의 위험도에 대한 정량적 분석을 위해 임계수준방법을 측우기 강우자료, 관측 강우자료, 미래 기후변화 시나리오 강우 자료에 적용하여 가뭄사상을 정의하고 가뭄의 지속기간과 심도를 도출하였다. 또한, 코플라 함수를 활용하여 가뭄 지속기간 및 심도를 동시에 고려하는 이변량 가뭄빈도해석을 실시하였다. 이변량 가뭄빈도곡선을 바탕으로 과거 현재 미래에 대한 위험도를 산정했으며, 과거 및 현재를 기준으로 미래의 극한 가뭄에 대한 위험도를 분석하였다. 그 결과 과거 및 현재에 비해 미래의 평균 가뭄 지속기간은 짧게 나타났으나 평균 가뭄 심도는 매우 크게 나타났다. 따라서 미래에는 짧은 기간의 심한 가뭄들이 발생할 것으로 예측된다. 또한, 최대가뭄의 위험도를 분석한 결과 미래의 최대 가뭄 위험도는 과거 및 현재에 비해 각각 1.39~1.94배, 1.33~1.81배 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 최종적으로 미래에서 과거 및 현재의 기왕최대 가뭄 이상의 극한 가뭄위험도는 0.989와 1.0 사이의 범위를 가지는 것으로 나타나, 미래에는 극한 가뭄의 발생확률이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

하천제방의 붕괴 요인중 구조물(배수통문) 주변 제방의 붕괴는 전체 요인의 l0% 이상을 차지하고 있으며, 특히 2002년 홍수시 낙동강에서 발생한 제방 유실 지점은 거의 배수통문 주위에서 발생하였다. 이러한 제방 파괴는 이질 재료인 통문 구조물과 제체 접합부 사이에 공극이나 공동이 형성된 후 홍수시 내부 침식으로 인해 공동이 확대되어 발생하는 파괴구조를 가지고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 하천제방의 안전관리를 위해 배수통문 주변의 공동발생 여부 혹은 공동내의 흐름 인지 등을 목적으로 한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 Flex센서와 Fiber bragg grating 센서의 변이 계측에 대한 실험을 통해 두 센서의 특징을 파악하고, 하천제방의 안전관리를 위해 보다 적합한 센서의 결정이 가능하도록 하였다. 실험결과 현 시점에서 변이 계측과 관련하여 계측치의 일관성, 미소변이 계측 등 Flex센서의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 FBG센서의 여러 특징을 확인할 수 있었다.

It is known that Korean stop consonants in syllable-initial position are of three types : lax, aspirated and forced (or unaspirated). In syllable-final position, however, these three different types are merged to a single type with the same place of articulation, although the original three-way distinction is preserved in Korean orthographic (Hangul) system. Thus the syllable-final stops are phonetically realized as voiceless "applosives" which are characterized by the absence of oral release. The aim of the present study is to investigate the laryngeal adjustments for these syllable-final stops in various phonological conditions by using fiberscope, and, is to further investigate electromyographically the laryngeal adjustments for Korean stops both in the syllable-initial and final positions in various phonological conditions. The results can be summarized as follows : 1. In the case of syllable-initial stops, the glottal widths in each three types of the Korean stops during the articulatory closure are clearly different. And the pattern of thyroarytenoid(VOC) activity appeared to characterize the three different types of Korean stops. 2. The basic laryngeal feature of the Korean syllable-final applosives is characterized by a small degree of glottal opening which begins at or slightly after the oral closure. 3. In the case, syllable-final stop followed by the copula "ita", the syllable- final stop is pronounced as the stop consonant at the initial position of the following syllable containing the vowel[i], the underlying features of three-way distinction for the stops in the Korean orthographic(Hangul) system being manifested at the laryngeal adjustment. 4. In the case of the final applosives followed by the initial stops and fricatives, the laryngeal feature of the final applosives appears to be assimilated by that of the following consonant irrespective of the difference in the place of articulation, as far as the glottal abduction/adduction is concerned. It is clearly demonstrated in the case of syllable-initial stop that thyoarytenoid(VOC) activity is suppressed for the production of the stop consonants in question, the degree of which is slightest for the forced type and most marked for the aspirated type, while it is moderate for the lax type.
