The study of English words in terms of etymology has a long history, going back over 110 years since Murray et al. (1884). Scholars have therefore had lots of time to gather all kind of information on the origin of English words. In fact, Modern English is the product of a long and complex process of historical developments from a great diversity of sources. The origins and development of English words meaning ‘a vessel for washing, a bath or a toilet’ are traced from Old English to the twentieth century in this paper in terms of the semantic and/or conceptual categories of the words with their particular senses. We conclude this paper with a brief discussion of how the teaching of English words can give some feedback to both teachers and students under the circumstances of English education in Korea and/or how we come to a better understanding of this charming field of English etymology in its own right.

Both in terms of frequency and importance, sympathy is one of the most central themes that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) delves into. While not a few critics have written on the subject, one crucially important aspect has been overlooked in the previous discussions of sympathy in Frankenstein: Shelley's critical intervention in the term's long lasting association with the notion of one body from a single origin. Focusing on the novel's central theme of sympathy, my paper addresses this oversight in the existing Frankenstein scholarship. I argue that Shelley's main agenda regarding sympathy in the novel is to problematize the logic of self-reproduction implicit in the notion of sympathy as an essentially familial tie. The reading of the novel as a warning against human violation of nature has been prevalent both in academia and popular culture. Nonetheless, in terms of sympathy, this paper offers an alternative reading in which the novel questions, not valorizes, the naturalization of nature. Far from valorizing the inviolable sacredness of nature, I argue, Frankenstein is a literary project attempting to disassociate sympathy from the natural bond that one is born into, and instead, re-associate it with fellowship as a second-nature to be continuously reinvented and reeducated.

Near / Miss, Charles Bernstein's poetry collection, is replete with poems of distinctive styles and pluralistic forms in his idiosyncratic and artistic cosmos. With poetic antics, queerness, sarcasm, irony, and humor, the book showcases the motif of loss, chaos and trauma in postmodern America and the world. The multiplicity and multi-dimensional $M{\ddot{o}}bius$ effect in Near / Miss echo earlier Bernstein's poems, as well as poems by ancient and contemporary poets, with visual artists and musicians, and rabbis and Jewish philosophers. I argue that Near / Miss offers an apotheosis of echopoetics, which has been launched in his previous book Pitch of Poetry. Poems in the book reveal the dark and thick "pitch," namely the queer, the uncanny, the invisible, the disabled, the dispossessed, and the silenced poetic Other and make it explicit. The estrangement and alienation of $clich{\acute{e}}$ through diverse malaprops, mondegreens, non-sequiturs and fragmentations in Near / Miss aim at deconstructing the fixation of language so as to display the poetic Other. The motif of "nothingness" in echopoetics significantly multiplies its meanings. Nothingness mainly refers to the loss of origin, the defiance of tyranny, and the sublimity of the universe and the poetic Other. Melding his personal loss and misfortune, the current political discontent and the postmodern chaos in America and the world, nothingness in echopoetics resonates with American literary tradition and Zen with a healing and transforming power.

The purpose of this study is to consider the health and well-being of singing, an expression activity of language. There are also many studies in which singing activities have a positive effect on individual quality of life and social activities. Therefore, this study attempted to suggest that more effective singing is being performed by increasing empathy through various expressions of onomatopoeia and mimic words. Love Changbu Taryeong (愛倡夫打令) is Korea's traditional representative Gyeonggi folk song. It is a cheerful and lyrical folk song based on the five scale of Sol-ra-do-re-mi. It sings not only human joy, sorrow, and pleasure, but also natural phenomena and scenes. It is an exciting rhythm based mainly on the Gutgeori jangdan (rhythmic pattern, 12/8) but it is a rhythm that you can feel the sadness in it. In particular, various onomatopoeia and mimic words appear in this song, making you think about the fun of singing and the origin of the language. Therefore, this study attempted to examine that more effective singing is becoming more effective by increasing empathy through various expressions of onomatopoeia and mimic words. You can watch our singing activities on YouTube.(https://youtu.be/IhnBqWiK-3w?si=AAMi2BVes9mPShnr)

T. S. Eliot attempted the combining of the liturgy of Anglican Church and a drama in Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and created a modern verse drama which comes most close to the regular tragedy like Greek tragedy today. Eliot chose the drama to deliver his religious insight because of its ritualistic origin and its potentiality to deliver a dramatic world which can contain a complete order. The central theme of this play is the martyrdom. The dramatic action of killing the archbishop Thomas Beckett in this play, however, is not treated as important event enough to be a dramatic climax. He is portrayed as a witness to the reality of God's will rather than a man who wills to give up his own life for any religious belief or cause. In Eliot, a martyr is nothing but "a witness" in its ancient sense. This paper purposes to review the language of this play. The various and new meters and rhythms of the language of this play function enough to bring its playwright to encounter 'the real audience' in 'a living theatre'. The interactions between different verbal models also play a big role to make this play a living theatre. Eliot found the poetry which crosses the various classes and levels of the tastes of audience is the most useful poetry. And the poetry of this play proves as the very thing which intensifies the theme of the play and gives the most powerful force to the play. Especially Eliot's poetry succeeds smost in the various and free meters of chorus, which makes Eliot the first playwright since Aeschylus, who could bring the chorus to undertake the function of extending the dramatic action of the play into the universal meaning. In the theatre the real audience identifies themselves with chorus. And the chorus leads the audience to respond to peace which passeth understanding beyond words and sounds of this play, which is the desired response in Eliot's conception of drama.

The Harry Potter series is considered to represent the multicultural aspect of contemporary British society and to show critical perspectives of racism. This series, however, also includes many elements of British imperialism. This paper examines the ideas about education and Harry's role in relation to British imperialism. One of the main ideas prevalent in 19th century British boys' public schools was that people's blood origin is the most important element in determining their characteristics, ability and moral qualities. The students' inherited capacity and their family background are more highly regarded than their secondary learning and training. This reflects a 19th century concept that ultimately, inborn quality makes 'a hero', a truth presented in the educational policies of Hogwarts. Hogwarts' educational policies and systems can also be related to 'developmentalism', which defines children as imperfect, in-progress and incomplete, thus needing proper training and discipline. As this concept functioned to justify the control of children while educating them, Hogwarts adopts diverse controlling devices and oppressive policies, which are mainly justified in the name of education. On the one hand, child characters are controlled and oppressed by the school authorities, on the other hand, some of the students such as Harry have remarkable magic powers enough to resist the adult authority and even to save the magic society from the evil power. Harry plays dual roles, which the British boys of the Empire were assigned from their society; they are important heirs to conquer the 'evil' or 'barbarous' world but need to be obedient to a 'good' authority to achieve the mission. Harry's magic power and self-discipline ultimately contribute to fulfilling Dumbledore's mission, which mirrors 19th century British boys' roles as the heirs of the British Empire.

이 연구는 전국 수어지명의 유래에 대한 것으로 수어지명에서 나타나는 한국수어 형태론적 특성과 어원론적 형태를 통해 유래를 알아보고자 전국의 한국농아인협회 각 시·군 지회를 통한 간행자료들을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 수어지명에서는 한자, 한글, 외래어 등에서의 차용성보다 토박이 수어지명 즉, 농인에 의해 만들어지고, 사용된 수어지명이 대다수를 이루고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 지명은 해당 지역의 문화, 정체성 등과 함께 역사를 나타내는 소중한 문화유산에 해당한다고 볼 때에 수어지명에 나타난 풍부한 도상성, 토박이 수어지명은 농문화 혹은 한국수어에 있어 보존, 전승의 가치가 있다고 할 수 있다. 그것은 수어지명의 유래가 해당 지역의 특산품, 지리적 특성 등에 의한 수어지명이 현대에 이르러 그 지역의 지리적 특성이 변화되었거나, 특산품 자체가 사라진 상황에서도 지속적으로 여러 세대를 거쳐 이어져 오고 있다는 것이다. 이는 수어지명에서 볼 수 있는 농인의 시각중심적인 한국수어의 특성을 반영한다고 볼 수 있으며, 농문화사적인 자료보존 차원에서 매우 값진 유산이 될 수 있는 것으로 보인다.

본 논문에서는 알타이어족, 예니세이어족, 고립어족에서 공통적으로 발견되는 에벤키족 씨족명 어근 바이, 킴, 사마를 중심으로 해당 씨족명의 기원과 의미, 분포현황, 이동경로, 해당 씨족명이 존재하는 시베리아 제 민족 사이의 친연 관계를 규명했다. 씨족명 '바이'의 기원에 대해 아직 명확하게 규명된 바는 없지만 그 의미를 둘러싸고 '북쪽', '흰색', '풍요로운' 혹은 '자연의'라는 세 가지 입장이 대립하고 있다. 씨족명 '바이~'는 시베리아 제민족 사이에 넓게 분포되어 있다. 먼저 알타이제어 만주-퉁구스어파에 속하는 에벤키, 에벤, 나나이, 울치, 오로크, 오로치, 만주족 그리고 몽고어파와 투르크어파에 분포되어 있으며 예니세이어족이나 고립어족에서도 발견된다. 하지만 이 어근의 씨족명이 에벤키족 사이에서 가장 많이 발견되는 점으로 미루어 이 씨족명은 프리바이칼리예의 에벤키족에서 기원하여 인근의 부랴트, 몽골, 야쿠트족 사이로 넓게 전파된 뒤 이후 동쪽으로는 아무르강의 닙흐족, 북쪽으로는 유카기르와 케트족 같은 예니세이 고아시아제어권 민족, 서쪽으로는 엔츠족과 셀쿠프족 같은 사모예드제어권 민족에게로 전파된 것으로 보인다. 씨족명 '킴~'은 먼 고대에 기원하며 만주-퉁구스어파에 존재하는 유사한 단어, 에벤키족 씨족명 어근 '킴~'과 음성학적으로 유사한 중국인의 성 '김', 에벤키족의 설화를 바탕으로 그 의미를 유추할 수 있었다. 그 결과 씨족명 '킴~'은 '사람'이라는 의미를 지니고 있지만 금, 쇠, 돌과도 일정정도 관련이 있다는 결론에 도달했다. 또 씨족명 '킴~'은 시베리아 소수민족 사이에 널리 분포되어 있지만 에벤키족 사이에 가장 많이 분포되어 있으며 중국 인근과 페르시아에도 분포되어 있었다. 씨족명 '킴~'의 기원은 명확하게 규명할 수 없지만 먼 고대 바이칼 인근의 에벤키족에 편입된 후 만주-퉁구스의 제민족 사이에 널리 전파되었고 더 나아가 투르크제민족 사이로 전파되었음을 알 수 있었다. 씨족명 '샤마/사마~'는 알타이어족의 만주-퉁구스제어권, 투르크제어권, 우랄어족의 사모예드어제어권 민족 등 시베리아의 전역에 널리 분포되어 있으며 음성적 형태도 무척 다양한데 에벤키족 사이에 가장 널리 분포되어 있다. 이 씨족명이 알타이어족과 우랄어족의 제민족 사이에서 발견된다는 점은 이 두 어족의 민족들이 아주 먼 과거에 관련이 있었다는 증거이다. 이 씨족명은 오로크족을 제외한 만주-퉁구스제어권의 모든 민족 사이에서 발견되는데 이에 대한 규명이 필요해 보인다.

There is a variety of opinions about the first translation activities within the Turkic Empire. It is widely believed that some Buddhist sutras were translated into the Turkic language in the period of Taspar Qagan (572-581). This theory is based on certain arguments: Some Turks practiced Buddhism, Buddhist monks translated sutras in the center of the Turkic Empire, Taspar brought sutras from China and had them translated, and the monarch of Northern Qi had a sutra translated and sent to Taspar. However, in my opinion, these arguments lack credibility. This article, which is based on primary Chinese sources, will question the likelihood of such translation activities having occurred. Some Chinese records for these claims exist: Da Tang Nei Dian Lu (大唐內典錄) and Xu Gao Seng Chuan (續高僧傳) by the Buddhist monk Jinagupta and the records of Hui Lin in Sui Shu (隋書) and Wen Xian Tong Kao (文獻通考). These are known as "primary sources." Secondary sources, namely contemporary history and language studies, such as those in books and articles, must be based on primary sources. It can be seen that claims relating to the first Turkic translation activities at the time of Taspar are mainly derived from secondary sources, and that the arguments in these secondary sources vary. Sometimes researchers make suppositions on the existence of information that is not referred to in primary sources. However, this is not normal practice. If a researcher relies on unknowns for the evidence of information existing, it can cause false information, ideas and anachronisms to be created. It is important that primary sources, such as the Chinese sources mentioned above, be translated correctly in language and history studies. If only a word is mistranslated, very different results may occur. Mistranslating or misinterpreting a primary source allows conclusions to be reached that are not supported by dissemination of information from primary sources. This can mislead experts and result in information that is not correct being considered as being true. As well as helping to prevent such misinterpretations occurring, another aim of this paper is to question the interpretations of the first Turkic translations in contemporary studies on history and language. The origin of such assessments will be explored and the validity of that information will be examined.

In many distribution systems important cost reductions and/or service improvements may be achieved by adopting an efficient inventory policy and proper selection of facilities. These efficiency improvements and service enhancements clearly require an integrated approach towards various logistical planning functions. The areas of inventory control and transportation planning need to be closely coordinated. The purpose of this paper is to construct an integrated model that can minimize the total cost of the transportation and inventory systems between multiple origin and destination points, where in origin point i has the supply of commodities and in destination point j requires the commodities. In this case, demands of the destination points are assumed random variables which have a known probability distribution. Using the lot-size reorder-point policy and the safety stock level that minimize total cost we find optimal distribution centers which transport the commodities to the destination points and suggest an optimal inventory policy to the selected distribution center. We also show if a demand greater than one unit will occur at a particular time, we describe the approximate optional replenishment policy from computational results of this lot-size reorder-point policy. This model is formulated as a 0-1 nonlinear integer programming problem. To solve the problem, this paper proposes heuristic computational procedures and a computer program with UNIX C language. In the usefulness review, we show the meaning and validity of the proposed model and exhibit the results of a comparison between our approach and the traditional approach, respectively.
