In this paper I investigate whether Korean-speaking children know the basic meaning of reciprocal anaphors like each other. I further examine whether they have knowledge of subtle differences in the interpretations of such anaphors depending on the two types of verbs. Fiengo and Lasnik (1973) pointed out a contrast between reciprocal sentences with active verbs and stative verbs. For example, a sentence with an active verb like The men in the room are hitting each other, has both a strong reciprocal reading (i.e., everyone of them in the room is hitting every other one) and a weak reciprocal reading (i.e., certain pairs of men are not engaged in the action of hitting each other). In contrast, a sentence with a stative verb like The men in the room know each other allows only a strong reciprocal reading (i.e., everyone of them know every other one). 16 Korean children and 15 Korean adults were tested using the Truth Value Judgment Task methodology. The results of the present study show that like English children, Korean children know the meaning of reciprocal anaphor, and that they also know the semantic difference of reciprocal sentences with active and stative verbs. Therefore, the present study strongly supports the claim that the semantic distinction of reciprocal sentences with active and stative verbs may be universal, and that children's ability of this semantic distinction might be innately given.

최근 인터넷에서 접근할 수 있는 정보의 양이 급속히 증대함에 따라 사용자의 선호도와 목적에 따라 개인화 또는 전문화된 검색기능을 제공하여 기존 인터넷 검색엔진의 약점을 극복할 수 있는 방법으로 인터넷 검색에이전트가 연구되고 있다. 현재 개발하고 있는 인터넷 검색 에이전트는 다양한 목적에서 개발한 인터넷 검색엔진의 검색 결과에 부가가치를 더하는(value-added) 접근 방법을 따른다. 하지만 이 방법은 검색엔진의 재현율이 떨어지면 문제영역 지식이나 사용자의 선호도를 이용해도 정확도가 증가하지 않는다. 따라서 검색엔진의 재현율과 정확도를 동시에 높이면서 효과적인 결과를 얻기 위해서는 기존 검색엔진을 모듈화하여 효율적인 분산 및 다중처리가 가능하도록 함으로써, 문제영역 지식이나 사용자 선호도가 검색결과에 반영되도록 해야한다. 이 논문에서는 부산대학교의 인터넷 검색엔진인 미리내 시스템을 에이전트 기반 시스템으로 변환하고, 분산, 다중 처리 및 실시간 검색이 가능한 검색에이전트 환경을 구축하였다.

Firstly, the goals and the domains of contents of environmental education was classified in order to systematize the contents of environmental education which would be taught in each subject. According to these goals and domains of contents, the contents of 10 subjects (Korean Language, Ethics, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Music, Arts, Physical Practicum(Technology and Heme Economics), English were analyzed. The norms in the analysis of the goals of environmental education by each subject were 4 domains: information and knowledge, skills, value & attitudes, & action and participation. The norms in the analysis of the contents of environmental education by each subject were 11 domains: natural environment, artificial environment, population, industrialization/urbanization, resources, environmental pollution, environmental preservation and measures, environmental sanitation, environmental ethics, environmentally sound and sustainable development(ESSD), and sound consumption life. As a result, it was found that all the 4 domains of goals in environmental education could come true. Furthermore, the goals of environmental education were found to be reached in the subjects of Korean Language, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Mathematics, English, etc., which had been thought to have nothing to do with environmental education. It was also found that the contents of each subject could deal with its own unique environmental contents. The result of this study can keep all subjects from overlapping in environmental contents, and can make the most of each subject's characteristics. Also, the result of this study will be referenced in developing the teaching and learning materials for environmental education according to each subject.

오늘날 인터넷 검색은 하루가 다르게 발전되고 있다. 주로 키워드 매칭에 의존을 둔 지금의 검색 서비스들은 사용자 중심의 아이템들을 개발해 정보검색의 경과시간 및 결과의 분류면에서 우수함을 보여주고 있다. 질의어의 의미에 유사한 검색은 아직은 발전하는 단계로, 내용에 기반을 둔 검색 환경에 초점이 맞춰지고 있다. 이와 관련하여 행렬의 특이치 분해(SVD)를 이용한 잠재적 의미 색인 기법(LSI)을 본 연구에서 다루고자 한다. 구축한 시스템의 성능 평가는 재현도 계산으로 비교되었는데 작은 크기의 특이값(singular value)들 생략에 의한 SVD의 성능과 그것을 재이용, 질의어에 대한 의미 구조상 근접한 용어들을 찾아 질의어를 확장한 후 적합한 문서들의 검색을 사용한 특이값 개수, 유사단어 확장 개수를 달리하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과, 특이값 2개를 사용한 잠재적 의미 색인이 특이값 3개를 사용한 잠재적 의미 색인보다 보다 나은 성능을 보였다. 그리고 조건을 달리한 모든 잠재적 의미 색인의 경우 단어 매칭에 의한 적합문서 검색보다 별 뚜렷한 나은 결과는 보이지 않았다. 하지만 의미적으로 관계가 깊은 유사어들을 찾아냈고, 의미적으로 가장 관계 깊은 문서를 대부분의 경우에서 순위 1위로 찾아내는 부분적 우수함을 보였다.

A morphological analysis is described to extract the informations which are required in syntactic and semantic analysis of the Korean language. The noun and particle are separated in a noun phrase, the selecting conditions are specified to analyze the compound noun and a restoring rule is represented to process the irregular compound noun. The stem and ending are separated in normal verbals and a logical representive form is proposed to the anomalously inflected word and contracted vowels. The logical representation is composed of the attribute value an analyzing rule. The redundancy of noun is reduced in the dictionary as the verb of a "Nounformed HA-" is processed by "noun" and "HA-", separately and a predicative "IDA" is analyzed by Q parameter. The processing form of negation is also derived and the morpheme and basic structure of compound predicative parts are presented.

Background: Nasalance is used to evaluate the velopharyngeal incompetence in clinical diagnoses using a nasometer. The aim of this study is to find the nasalance differences between Vietnamese cleft palate children and Korean cleft palate children by measuring the nasalance of five oral vowels. Methods: Ten Vietnamese cleft palate children after surgery, three Vietnamese children for the control group, and ten Korean cleft palate children after surgery with the same age participated in this experimentation. Instead of Korean control, the standard value of Korean version of the simplified nasometric assessment procedures (kSNAP) was used. Result: The results are as follows: (1) the highest nasalance score among the Vietnamese normal vowels is the low vowel /a/; however, that of Korean normal vowels is the high vowel /i/. (2) The average nasalance score of Korean cleft palate vowels is 18% higher than that of Vietnamese cleft palate vowels. There was a nasalance score of over 45% among the vowels /e/ and /i/ in Vietnamese cleft palate patients and /i/, /o/, and /u/ in Korean cleft palate patients. Conclusion: These different nasalance scores of the same vowels seem to cause an ethnic difference between Vietnamese and Korean cleft palate children.

Background: Velopharyngeal insufficiency that accompanies speech resonance and articulation disorders can be managed through several intervention methods such as speech-language therapy, prosthetic aids, and surgery. However, for patients with severe hypernasality, surgical interventions are highly recommended. Among available surgical techniques, the posterior pharyngeal flap is most common. Case presentation: Two adult males with high nasalance scores underwent superiorly based posterior pharyngeal flap surgery, followed by speech testing by an expert speech-language therapist. Nasalance scores and articulation accuracy were assessed up until 1 year after the surgery. Nasalance scores were measured five times using a nasometer, after which the average value was calculated. Conclusions: Consistent declines in hypernasality over time are not easy to explain since the pedicled pharyngeal flap narrowed over time, secondary to cicatrization. However, scar tethering of the soft palate in a posterior direction could reduce the velopharyngeal port size over time. Therefore, long-term follow-up with intensive speech therapy is suggested for patients with severe hypernasality.

Purpose: The aim was to verify if changing the Journal of Gastric Cancer (JGC) to only English (starting in December 2010) was successful based on bibliometrics. Materials and Methods: The following indicators were retrieved or calculated from the journal homepage and the Web of Science Core Collection on January 30, 2016: the number of citable articles per year; the number of original articles funded; the national origins of the editorial board members and authors; the total citations; the impact factors; the national origins of authors citing the journal; the source titles of articles citing the journal; and the Hirsch index. Results: From 2011 to 2015, the number of citable articles per year was 40, 41, 39, 39, and 40. The proportion of original articles funded was 39 out of 113 articles (34.5%). The editorial board members were from seven countries. The authors were from 11 countries. The total citations increased from 1 in 2011 to 245 in 2015. From 2013 to 2015, the impact factors (without self-citations) were 1.42, 1.36, and 1.60. In 2014, the value 1.60 corresponded to the ranking of 157 out of 210 oncology journals (74.8%); It was cited from 46 countries. Top-ranking countries of citing authors were China (171), Korea (158), and Japan (75). The number of source titles citing the journal was more than 100. The Hirsch index was 12. Conclusions: The English-only language policy, which started in December 2010, was successful in promoting the JGC to international levels from the perspective of bibliometric analysis.

In this paper, a hardware architecture to calculate straight-line Hough transform algorithm for image recognition is suggested. This processor consists of the filtering module for gradient calculation and the HT calculation module, and the angle information are stored in memory table. For the suggested architecture, firstly, algorithm simulation is executed using C language to confirm the operation and to decide the precision of calculation, and secondly, architecture simulation is executed using VHDL language for the total blocks. According to C & VHDL simulation results, it is confirmed that the calculated data value is similarly obtained and the calculation defference is decreased as image clarity and bits increase.

Death of a Salesman is centered on Willy Loman trying to achieve the American dream and taking his family along for the ride. This paper explores the meaning of his suicide in the work through the Adorno's theory on the individual's reification and commodity by an exchange value in the capitalism and argues that Bourdieu's capital classification shows the cause of his tragic decision. Reification refers to "the structural process whereby the commodity form permeates life in capitalist society." and Adorno called the reification of consciousness an epiphenomenon. The social-psychological level in Adorno's diagnosis serves to demonstrate the effectiveness and pervasiveness of late capitalist exploitation. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital can exist three forms: in the embodied state, in the objectifed state and in the instituionalized state. He states embodied capital is argued to be the most significant influence; however unlike other forms of capital (social, economic, etc.) obtaining embodied capital is largely out of the individuals' control as it is developed from birth. In conclusion, I suggest Death of a Salesman can be interpreted as a text criticizing the internalization of the subject, which is the result of the self-destructive mechanism of the subject in the logic of modern subject formation.
