  • The roles and needs of contents are increasing moving toward sensitivities and culture in terms of key values in the 21st century. The cartoon is evaluated in invaluable as the original contents. Moreover, the size of these industries and employees are extending. Regardless of the quantitative expansion, however, it is real situation that is delaying in the disciplinary development and that is scare in partnership with industries. It is needs to develop the textbook and its' systemizing, standardization of cartoon language, and cartoon dictionary development. Using the cartoon language widely, it requires universality, simultaneously it needs a times and exact definition in advance. The study and standardization work of cartoon terms in base endure the industry development and disciplinary research which enhance the efficiency between the two sectors.

  • Although Korean university students' primary concern is academic success in their higher degrees in the UK, they highly desire to develop English communicative competence through a number of opportunities to speak with natives speakers. The paper aims at examining to what extent they are able to be socialised into a new environment while they are studying at UK universities. The in-depth, longitudinal interviews with the targeted group of six Korean masters' students at the University of York was undertaken to observe the pace of their progress in developing social skills. Reluctance and hesitance to contact and interact with their supervisors and other academic staff persisted for most of them to the final term caused by cultural reasons such as face and hierarchy rather than language problems. Despite the six participants' variation in their patterns of social interaction, they struggled with pressures towards monoculture-biased interaction with Korean people, which was quite extreme for the five participants. This passivity can be explained by several reasons such as the students' lack of communicative competence and other situational factors on one-year course. It is important to note that students' failure to develop network with native speakers is strongly associated with experience of cultural withdrawal and frustration with developing communicative competence in English.

  • We examine attributive possessive constructions in Korean in examples like wuli manwula 'my wife' and wuli nala 'my country', where an apparently plural pronoun wuli 'our' is used to convey the singular meaning of 'my.' An example like wuli manwula has been a frequent topic of joke, because it clearly contains the literal sense of 'shared wife.' This type of use and the frequent use of wuli in an exclusive my context led many to claim that these are products of Korean culture which emphasizes groups and group solidarity over individuality, the example wuli manwula being the extreme case. Drawing on the work of Taylor (1989; 1996), Croft (2001; 2003), Haspelmath (1997; 2003), and 윤재학 (2003), we compare the meanings of Korean and English possessive constructions and seek a more linguistically based account for the data. In particular, it is shown that (i) wuli in question is not really the plural form of nay 'my', (ii) the possessive constructions in Korean are more conservative and limited in possible relations than the English counterparts are, and that (iii) these two facts interact to produce the afore-mentioned uses.

  • 이 논문은 각 문법 관계(grammatical relation)에서 선호되는 체언 어휘를 파악하고, 이 어휘들의 의미적 유형 및 그 위계를 파악하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 80만 어절의 21세기 세종계획 구문분석 말뭉치에서 그 분포를 추출하고, 통계적 검증을 통해 각 문법 관계에서 선호되는 체언 어휘를 선별한다. 이 연구에서 관찰하는 문법 관계는 주어, 목적어, 용언수식어로 하며, 이들 문법 관계에서 선호되는 어휘 추출 대상 품사는 대명사, 고유명사, 일반명사로 한다. 한정성의 강도에 따라 주어 분포 경향이 나타나며, 이에 따라 대명사 > 고유명사 > 일반명사 순으로 주어 분포 경향이 나타난다. 그러나 일반적 예측과 다르게 한정성의 강도가 더 강한 것으로 알려진 대명사가 고유명사보다 목적어와 용언수식어에서 분포 경향이 더 강하여, 일반명사 > 대명사 > 고유명사의 순으로 분포 경향이 나타난다. 대명사, 고유명사, 일반명사는 공통적으로 주어에서는 사람 지시어, 목적어에서는 사물과 장소 지시어, 그리고 용언수식어에서는 시공간 표현이 선호되어 분포한다. 특히 대명사는 각 문법기능에서 인칭대명사의 경우 인칭에 따라, 그리고 지시대명사의 경우 원근칭에 따라 선호도의 차이를 보인다. 이러한 체언 어휘의 의미적 분포 특성은 문법 관계에 통사적 기능 외에도 의미적 경향이 반영된 것으로 고려될 수 있다.

  • 한국어 띄어쓰기에서 통계적 모델을 사용한 기존의 연구들은 최대우도추정(Maximum Likelihood Estimation)에 기반하고 있다. 그러나 최대우도추정은 자료부족 시 부정확한 결과를 주는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 이에 대한 대안으로 사용자 입력을 고려하는 베이지언 파라미터 추정(Bayesian parameter estimation)을 제안한다. 기존 연구가 사용자 입력을 교정 대상으로만 간주한 것에 비해, 제안 방법은 사용자 입력을 교정 대상이면서 동시에 학습의 대상으로 해석한다. 제안하는 방법에서 사용자 입력은 학습 말뭉치의 자료부족에서 유발되는 부정확한 파라미터 추정(parameter estimation)을 방지하는 역할을 수행하고, 학습 말뭉치는 사용자 입력의 불확실성을 보완하는 역할을 수행한다. 실험을 통해 문어체 말뭉치, 통신환경 구어체 말뭉치, 웹 게시판 등 다양한 종류의 말뭉치와 다양한 통계적 모델에 대해 제안 방법이 효과적임을 알 수 있다.

  • This paper deals with FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation of the AAC(Advanced Audio Coding) decoder. On modern computer culture, according to the high quality data is required in multimedia systems area such as CD, DAT(Digital Audio Tape) and modem. So, the technology of data compression far data transmission is necessity now. MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group) would be a standard of those technology. MPEG-2 AAC is the availableness and ITU-R advanced coding scheme far high quality audio coding. This MPEG-2 AAC audio standard allows ITU-R 'indistinguishable' quality according to at data rates of 320 Kbit/sec for five full-bandwidth channel audio signals. The compression ratio is around a factor of 1.4 better compared to MPEG Layer-III, it gets the same quality at 70% of the titrate. In this paper, for a real time processing MPEG2 AAC decoding, it is implemented on FPGA chip. The architecture designed is composed of general DSP(Digital Signal Processor). And the Processor designed is coded using VHDL language. The verification is operated with the simulator of C language programmed and ECAD tool.

  • Korean traditional fermented milk, Tarak, came down from the Koryo dynasty according to Korean ancient cookbook SoowoonJaabaang, which was written by Taakjunggong, Yoo Kim around AD 1500. Tarak is generally refers to milk or dairy products. Three theories on 'Tarak' revealed in this study are as follows: 1) it has been derived from Dolgwol language, tarak, 2) it has originated in Mongolian language, Topar(tarague), meaning horse's milk and 3) it originated in Tarak mountain located in Hanyang, which was capital of Chosun. In Mongolia, fermented milk has been called as Tarak and it has been called as tar by Yakuts tribe who are nomads in Sakha. The common part, tar, of these words is said to be the term representing the origin of the fermented milk coming from the central Asia. Therefore, Korean Tarak seems to be part of the central Asian culture that flowed into the Korean peninsula. The manufacturing method of Mogolian Topar(tarague) is similar to those of Tarak found in the SoowoonJaabaang. This research revealed that Korean traditional fermented milk, Tarak, is thought to be affected by the central Asia, especially Mongolia.

  • This paper examines the relationship and ideas of Hannah Arendt and Philip Roth including how they met, their correspondence and intellectual parallels, particularly in their shared criticism of Jewish ideals and culture in Europe and North America. It analyzes similarities in their careers and texts, especially between Eichmann in Jerusalem and Operation Shylock, as well as The Ghost Writer, while measuring their reception as social commentators and writers. Kafka was an important figure for both writers, Arendt's earliest writing engaged with the significance of Kafka in understanding and criticizing twentieth century political and cultural values in Europe. For Roth, Kafka offered a similar critique of moral principles he found corroded in North American Jewish life. Arendt connected with other writers, notably Isak Dinesen, W. H. Auden, Randall Jarrell and William Styron who further linked the two: he knew both Arendt and Roth and cited, incorrectly, a work by Arendt as the source for the key incident in his 1979 novel Sophie's Choice. He claimed it was Eichmann in Jerusalem; it was Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism. Arendt's reaction to Roth's fiction, however, remains a mystery: she died in 1975, before Roth began to seriously and consistently engage with Holocaust issues in works like The Ghost Writer (1979) and Operation Shylock (1993). Yet even in death they are joined. Their graves are only steps apart at the Bard College Cemetery in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.

Revisiting Transnational American Studies: Race and the Whale in Melville's Moby-Dick

  • Over the last three decades, the field of American Studies has increasingly paid attention to transnational approaches in an effort to diversify and expand the field's concerns beyond the narrow sense of the nation-state in today's globalizing world. Yet, the mediation of the transnational requires a careful analysis of the nation that is still in transit. In this context, this essay examines Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick (1851) as a case study that vividly shows how reading American literature and culture through transnationalism not only offers new interpretations of canonical texts, but also helps us to better understand the historical roots and cultural contexts of contemporary issues such as global labor and migration, US citizenship and racial justice. To address the complexity of the text's circulation and reproduction, coupled with US national ideology and cultural conditions, I first turn to the canonization of Melville's Moby-Dick during the Cold War era as a national project and then explore the possibilities of transnational readings by focusing on the politics of race and global capitalism in the nineteenth century whaling industry. In doing so, I argue that critical transnationalism allows readers to keep questioning about their own understanding of race, nation, and cultural identity while remaining attentive to the destructive force of US imperialism and global capitalism in the twenty-first century.
