There are two types of composition systems for the Korean alphabet: a combined system and a composite system. This paper decribes an efficient coding method for both of these two types. Using this coding method with the combined system yields about 10.5% code-length savings per a Korean character while it yields about 45% savings with the composite system. In other words the coding method produces a better result(i.e. 34.5% better) with the composite system than with the combined system. The simulation has been performed on a MasPar machine having 64 processors. The results show that the combined system achieved a 45.851-fold speedup while the composite system achieved a 47.274-fold speedup.

The present research measured interkey times in typewriting according to the mumber of consonants and vowels within words of the Korean alphabet. And another purpose of this study was to investigate whether the perception of syllable and final consonant, and one hand repetition can influence the interkey times in typewriting or not. The procedure of experiment was that subjects typed works according to the conditions. And we analyzed interkey times of each words. The results has shown that the perception of syllable and final consonant, and one hand repetition influenced the interkey times in typewriting.

The sign language is a method of communication for deaf person. For sign communication, sign language and manual alphabet are used continuously. In this paper is proposed a system which recognize Korean sign language(KSL) and Korean manual alphabet(KMA) continuously. For recognizing KSL and KMA, basic elements for sign language, namely, the 14 hand directions, 23 hand postures, and 14 hand orientations are used. At first, this system recognize current motion state using speed and change of speed in motion by state automata. Using state, basic element classifiers using Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network and Fuzzy Rule are executed. Meaning of signed gesture is selected by using basic elements which was recognized.

Classification criteria for Korean alphabet (Hangul) fonts are undeveloped in comparison to numerical classification systems for Roman alphabet fonts. This study finds important features that distinguish typeface styles in order to help develop numerical criteria for Hangul font classification. We find features that determine the characteristics of the two different styles using a convolutional neural network to create a model that analyzes the learned filters as well as distinguishes between serif and sans-serif styles.

한글은 자음과 모음이 한눈에 구분되는 세계 유일의 표음문자이다. 14 개의 자음과 10 개의 모음을 조합하여 글자를 만들어 내는 한글의 문자 구성원리의 우수성은 이미 세계가 인정하고 있으며, 영국 리스대학의 Geoffrey Sampson 음성언어학 교수는 물리적, 철학적 원리를 문자화한 한글을 새로운 차원의 Feature System 으로 분류하기도 하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 한글의 그 형상학적 생성원리를 바탕으로 이동통신 단말기의 문자입력 시스템의 사용성 증대를 위한 인터페이스 디자인에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 한글의 Feature System 을 응용한 이동통신 단말기의 새로운 문자입력 시스템의 인터페이스를 개발하고, 이를 기존의 이동통신 단말기를 위한 문자입력 방식과 비교 검증하여 그 사용성을 검증하고자 한다.

An interactive Hangul input method using the numeric phone keypad, which is applicable for mobile devices is introduced. In the proposed method, user only selects the corresponding keys by single tapping, for the alphabet of Korean letter which is desired to enter. The interface generates the subset of eligible letters for the key sequence, then the user selects the desired letter in the set. Such an interactive approach transforms the text entry interface into a multi-level interactive letter-oriented style, from the preexisting passive and single-level alphabet-oriented interface. The annoyance of key-operations, the major disadvantage of the previous methods, derived from multi-tap to clear the ambiguity of multi-assigned alphabets for the Hangul automata, can be eliminated permanently, while the additional letter selection procedure to finalize the desired letter is essential. Also the complexity of Hangul text entry is reduced since all letters can be compounded from basic alphabet selection of the writing sequence order. The advantage and disadvantage of the proposed method are analyzed through comparing with pre-existing method by experiments.

This paper describes an efficient coding method for Ko-rean characters (alphabet) using a three-state transition graph. Par-allel hangul Dynamic Coding Method (PHDCM) compresses about 3.5 bits per Korean character compared with other coding techinques. When we ran the method on a MasPar machine it achieved a 49.314-fold speedup with 64 processors having 10 million orean characters

Most of mathematical terms in Korean are Sino-Korean words. It is necessary to find the efficient ways to teach Sino-Korean mathematical terms to mathematics teachers and students who dot not know Chinese characters well and use only Korean alphabet in mathematics. Especially, we have to avoid the inappropriate Sino-Korean words which can cause misconceptions and can distinguish homophones by Korean alphabet. We may use native Korean terms to do that and the national curriculum can play an important role. In this paper, we investigate the way of improving mathematics terms in Korea with concrete examples.

In the phoneme level, English stop sounds are classified with the feature of 'voicing': voiceless and voiced (p/b, t/d, k/g). But when realized, a voiceless stop is not alwats the same sound. For example, the two 'p' sounds in 'people' are different. The former is pronounced with much aspiration, while the latter without it. This allophonic differnece between [$P^h$] and [p] out of an English phoneme /p/ can be well explained to Koreans because in Korean these two sounds exist as two different phonemes {/ㅍ/ and /ㅃ/ respectively). But difficulties lie in teaching the English voiced stop sounds (/b, d, g/) to Koreans because in Korean voiced stops do not exist as phonemes but as allophones of lenis sounds (/ㅂ, ㄷ, ㄱ/). For example, the narrow transcription of '바보' (a fool) is [baboo]. In the word initial position, Korean lenis stops are pronounced voiceless and even with a slight aspiration while in the inrervocalic environments they become voiced, That is in Korean voiced stops do not occur independently and neither they have their own letters. To explain all these more effectively to Koreans, it is very helpful to use Korean Phenetic Alphabet (KPA) which is devised by Dr. LEE Hyunbok (a professor of phonetics at Seoul National Univ. and chairman of Phonetic Society of Koera.)(omitted)

The Purpose of this paper is to gather pairs of heteronyms in modern Korean and transcribe them in the IPA and the Roman alphabet in order to propose that all of them should be differentiated in Hanngul orthography. More than a quarter of the whole Korean vocabulary consists of words with a long vowel and the number of minimal pairs distinguished only by the chroneme reaches nearly ten thousand (i.e. twenty thousand words). The letter h syllable-finally is used here to represent the long vowel in Romanization except the vowel '으‘[?:] which is transcribed by doubling the letter u (i.e. uu). Another factor bringing forth lots of heteronyms in Korean is the lack of full indication as to the non-automatic reinforcement in the initial consonant of a word (or a morpheme) when preceded by another within a phrase (or a word). These reinforced word-initial consonants are written with the letter c and an apostrophe (like c'g- , c'd- , c'b-, c's-, c'j-) in Romanization here. The reinforced morpheme-initial consonant within a word is written with the letters k t, p, ss and cz for ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ and ㅉ sounds respectively. The contrasted pronunciations of pairs of heteronyms beginning with ㅅ /s/sup h// and ㅆ /s/ sounds are transcribed here for exemplification.
