한국어는 교착어적 특성으로 인하여 어미와 조사가 매우 발달되어 있다. 그러므로 영어와 같은 굴절어를 중심으로 설계된 UD를 한국어에 적용하는 것에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 형태통사적 특성이 유사한 일본의 UD 적용 사례를 살펴보고 한국어의 UD 적용 양상과의 비교 분석을 통해서 한국어의 UD 적용 및 개선 방안을 고찰해 보고자 한다. 한국어와 일본어는 동일한 교착어로서 비슷한 특성을 지니고 있으나, 주석의 기본 단위 설정에서 차이를 보이면서 UD를 적용하는 양상이 달라졌음을 확인하였다. 일본어의 UD 주석에서 형태 분석 기본 단위인 단단위(Short unit word, 長單位)를 기본 구문 주석 단위로 하되 장단위(Long unit word, 短單位)와 문절 정보를 이용하는 것처럼, 한국어에서도 형태 분석 단위를 기준으로 의존 관계를 주석하는 방안에 대해서도 고려할 필요가 있다.

With a view to providing a unitary interpretation of a lexical item, even, this paper proposes that even be understood as a quantifier. To countenance this idea, the quantifier theories will be evaluated against the implicature accounts on the basis of conceptual and empirical evidence. With the help of Bach (1999), the quantifier theories of even are regarded as most viable and plausible. On the other hand, from among different quantifier approaches even will be viewed as a quasi-universal quantifier, which means that even is similar to the universal quantifier but still it is different from it. That is, even introduces a comparison set that is context-dependent and only the salient members of this comparison set will be taken into account when an even-sentence is to be uttered. This observation is based on the formal representation for a universal quantifier in general on the one hand and the truth-conditional contribution of even to the sentence containing it.

This paper reviews Grammatical Mapping theory, a recently proposed theoretical paradigm for understanding children's acquisition of syntax, and ventures to apply the theory to the acquisition of semantics. Particularly, we focused on the domain of space, and proposed how children might acquire a unique system of spatial words in their mother tongue. Based on our review of evidence, we propose that there may be universal semantic primitives that serve as foundations of word meanings. We also propose that children must learn their mother tongue's semantic category system of spatial relations, from real time data. Finally, we argue that children's learning of word meanings may involve creation of a theory that makes sense to the child, and that this process of theory creation is possibly guided by universal principles and parameters.

This paper investigates the idiosyncratic understanding of universal quantifiers such as every, each or all by young children at the ages of 4 to 7, and argues that the phenomenon is explicable in terms of the maturation of both the cognitive system and the linguistic system. Evidence for this dual explanation comes from the fact that the visual input, a picture, plays a key role in determining the children's conceptual representation, suggesting the need for the central integration of visual and linguistic elements; and from the fact that a quantifier in the linguistic input has an intrinsic property, i.e. a <+focus> feature. I have tried to explain the nature of the cognitive factors in terms of the function of the central system, suggesting a modified form of Smith & Tsimpli's (1995) yersion of Fodor's (1983) modularity hypothesis. The categorial status of the quantifier in the children's interpretation is considered, focusing on the movement of that quantifier out of its own extended projection to FP. It is claimed that children initially treat quantifiers as modifiers, rather than functional heads, and that the phenomenon of quantifier spreading by children can be attributed to delay in the development of the relevant functional category, i.e., DP (or QP), in language acquisition.

This study was an attempt to present an appropriate way of interpreting L2 learners' linguistic behavior within Universal Grammar (UG) framework. Based on the Korean EFL adult learners' performance on the Subjacency violation sentences, the study suggested that the EFL learners are able to acquire subtle knowledge of target grammar and their linguistic behavior should be interpreted with the most recent version of UG theory, the Minimalist Program (MP) notion. The MP notion seems more plausible to accommodate incomplete L2 grammar while acknowledging UG-constrained interlanguage which the previous version, Principles and Parameters (P&P) approach, could not explain very well. The study observed no age-effects among the Korean EFL learners in their linguistic competence measured by the performance on the UG-constraint violation sentences. Having suggested that the MP notion can be a more reasonable tool to explain the EFL learners' linguistic behavior, the study introduced comprehensive hypotheses such as Constructionist Model (CM) and the Ontogeny Phylogeny Model (OPM).

Literature had been at center-stage in the traditional grammar-translation-focused English classrooms up to the mid-twentieth century. As the Audiolingual Method and the Communicative Language Teaching have gained popularity in the English classrooms, however, literature has receded into the background of English education. The main reasons for using literary texts in the English classrooms for communication-focused English instruction need to be examined. First of all, students can come in touch with the subtle and varied uses of language through literature-based teaching. They also feel close to certain characters in the literary work and share the emotional reponses with them. They get personally involved in the plot of the story. Universal human experience and cultural enrichment are two other merits which can be conferred on students by literary texts. Such linguistic and literary experiences can be significantly integrated into the literature-based instruction. More significantly, the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) can be combined with one another and integrated into a literature-focused curriculum for English education. The value of literary texts in the English classrooms can be clearly demonstrated by effective ways of using such texts as Charlotte's Web for integrated instruction. The full array of benefits that literature can bring to English instruction, however, has yet to be fully realized. These potentials need to be materialized into classroom practice.

무교(巫敎)는 오랫동안 사회의 주도세력에 의해 주변종교 또는 미신으로 치부되었다. 이는 사회를 주도하는 대중매체에 의해 의도적으로 왜곡되어 투영된 잔상이기도 하다. 특히 당대의 문화를 반영하는 첨단 대중매체인 영화에서 무교는 부정적 이미지로 투영되는 경우가 많았다. 객관성과 사실성을 중요하게 여기는 다큐멘터리 영화에서는 무교에 관한 입장이 비교적 중립적이고, 어느 정도 무교 친화적인 정치색을 갖는 다큐멘터리 영화감독들은 무교의 정신세계 또는 전통성 등을 부각시키기 위한 노력을 경주한다. 이글에서는 다큐멘터리 영화에 투영된 무교와 전통음악의 가치를 살펴보았다. 이글에서 다루는 영화는 <사이에서>와 <땡큐 마스터 킴>이다. 이 둘의 비교를 통해 내부인(한국인 감독)과 외부인(외국인 감독)이 각각 투영하고 싶어 하는 무교의 이미지를 파악할 수 있다. <사이에서>는 기승전결을 갖춘 '뮤지컬'로서의 굿을 표현하고자 하였다. 그러나 영화감독은 굿에서 핵심인 음악에 대한 이해가 없었기 때문에 굿음악의 예술성을 전혀 부각시키지 못했다. 무당과 굿에 관한 <사이에서>의 관점은 철저하게 신비함과 영적 능력에 맞춰져 있다. 이런 점에서 이 영화를 통해 우리 굿을 세계에 소개하고 싶었다는 감독의 의도는 그다지 성공적이지 못하다. 이와 반대로 <땡큐 마스터 킴>은 음악인의 시각으로 무당과 굿을 바라다보니 무당과 한국의 예술세계를 중심적으로 다루었다. 굿음악뿐만 아니라 다양한 음악 갈래의 전통적 미학을 소개한다. 영화의 스토리는 우리 문화의 생명수라 할 수 있는 큰 무당을 찾는 서사적 여정으로서 서사무가인 <바리공주>를 연상시키는 것이다. 그리고 이 여정에서 찾는 미학은 외국인의 시각에 비친, 이제는 우리나라 현실에서는 거의 존재하지 않는 '상상의 공동체'의 음악적 산물이다. 그리고 주인공이 찾는 '마스터 킴'은 우리나라에 국한된 것이 아니라 '탈(脫) 영토화'된 음악적 영웅인 것이다. 이런 일련의 음악적 흐름을 통해 외국인 관객들도 굿음악과 무교 세계에 대해 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 것이다. 음악은 '만국공통어(universal language)'이면서도 '비보편적 언어(non-universal language)'로서 한 공동체집단의 특수성을 반영하는 문화이다. 우리의 굿음악은 다른 사회에서는 찾아 볼 수 없는, 우리 문화의 정수를 간직한 매우 비보편적 언어로 이루어진 것이다. <사이에서>의 한국인 감독은 굿의 핵심적 요소인 음악에 대한 이해가 없기에 굿의 본질을 전달하는데 실패했다. 이에 반하여 <땡큐 마스터 킴>의 외국인 감독은 음악가로서의 배경을 통해 굿의 핵심적 요소인 음악을 전면에 부각시키면서 굿의 본질을 전달하는데 성공했다.

There has been a growing enthusiasm in Korea for the early education of English as a foreign language (EFL). The present study examined the validity of the Critical Period Hypothesis in terms of the Universal Grammar (UG), in three different types of learning contexts - first language (L1), second language (SL), and foreign language (FL) learning contexts. While previous research findings in L1 and SL learning contexts suggest that UG principles and parameters are accessible to language learners only for the early years of lifetime, this article argues that their results - and even the methods - cannot be applied to EFL settings and that independent studies on the EFL context are, required. It also proposes the recent UG notion of functional categories as the most appropriate subject in the discussion of Korean EFL learners' access to UG. Findings on foreign language contexts, including the author's own, strongly indicate that UG is not sensitive to learners' starting ages in FL settings. If young children in FL contexts cannot develop their interlanguage grammar based on UG, the existing teaching methods for young children should be revised.

Negative polarity items(NPIs), which function as quantifiers are licensed in a syntactically strict way by negatives, which function as qualifiers, resulting in universal negating interpretations as pairs. We present a proposal to explain the related phenomena, in which the syntax and the semantics are closely related to each other, with Combinatory Categorial Grammar. For this purpose, we first adopt the usual approach to scrambling, but control its overgeneration with the use of markers, taking into account the complex syntactic phenomena involving NPIs and scrambling in Korean. We also propose to utilize polarity intensity as a novel feature, in order to account for the universal negating interpretations when NPIs are combined with negatives. Our proposal also explains the difference in readings when other quantifiers or qualifiers intervene the NPI and the related negatives.

This paper investigates the idiosyncratic understanding of universal quantifiers such as every, each or all by young children at the ages of 4 to 7, and argues that the phenomenon is explicable in terms of the maturation of both the cognitive system and the linguistic system. Evidence for this dual explanation comes from the fact that the visual input, a picture, plays a key role in determining the children’s conceptual representation, suggesting the need for the central integration of visual and linguistic elements; and from the fact that a quantifier in the linguistic input has an intrinsic property, i.e. a <+focus> feature. I have tried to explain the nature of the cognitive factors in terms of the function of the central system, suggesting a modified form of Smith & Tsimpli’s (1995) version of Fodor’s (1983) modularity hypothesis. Conceptual representations of two kinds are in competition with each other and they are integrated into a neutral LOT (Language of Thought) representation at some point . In the process of this integration, the representations from the visual input predominate over those from the auditory input, though the quantize. (treated as new information provided by the latter) is salient in the final representations. When visual conceptual representations predominate over purely linguistic ones, quantifier spreading errors occur. By contrast, when the relevant grammatical knowledge has developed sufficiently to counteract the conceptual representations, this peculiar behaviour by children should disappear. It is argued that children have to learn two kinds of grammatical fact with regard to universal quantification: (i) they have to learn the status of the quantifier as a functional head of DP so that it has to be positioned inside DP; and (ii) they have to learn the Left-Branch Condition which specifies that movement of an element in the left-branch position is possible only by pied-piping the entire phrase.
