This paper, based on Krifka (2001), is about the interpretation of quantifiers in questions. I have argued that quantification into question acts is possible for universal quantifiers, as these quantifiers are based on conjunction, an operation that is defined for speech acts. This explains the restriction to universal quantifiers, which are generalized conjunctions. I have developed a type system in which quantification into question acts can be described. I have argued that expressions that scope out of speech acts must be topic, which explains a number of additional observations. I have also discussed embedded questions, which, depending on the embedding verb, may allow for quantification into questions.

This paper proposes a method for analyzing the Korean inflected word in machine translation system. We define the processing rules which are useful of analyzing an irregular conjugation, pesent an parsing algorithm of noun and specifed verb and reduce the space of dictionary by the algorithm.

본 논문에서는 자연언어 처리 시스템에서 사용할 수 있는 단어의 개념 정보에 대해 연구한다. 그러기 위해 언어의 실생활에서의 쓰임 - 연세대학교 사전 편찬실의 연세 말뭉치 -을 바탕으로 한국어의 동사와 명사에 대해 개념을 조사, 분류하였으며 그 개념들이 한국어 문장 분석기에 어떻게 이용되는가를 보인다.

This paper examines Case alternation within DP. Four previous accounts dealing with Case alternation within DP will be critically examined. We conclude that a phenomenon looking like Case alternation within Korean DPs is not an instance of Case alternation. We argue that the genitive subject within such DPs is actually in the Spec position of a Small Clause, which involves a verb movement into what is now called vP. From a cross-linguistic point of view, this analysis supports Harley & Noyer's(1997) argument that Gerunds are instances of Small Clauses.

Korean verb 'Casi-', which is treated as negative element in dictionaries, is actually a placeholder shows indefinite use, and '-ko casiko' construction is understood as a member of a class of 'Ending repetition construction'. However, unlike among others, '-ko casiko' construction is now undergoing developement of its negative polarity. Because of its indefiniteness, '-ko casiko' construction change its meaning into a universal negative when it is used in negative sentences.

Recently, real documents such as newspapers as well as blogs include newly coined words such as "Wikipedia". However, most previous information processing technologies cannot deal with these newly coined words because they construct their dictionaries based on materials acquired during system development. In this paper, we propose a model to automatically recognize Korean unknown words excluded from the previously constructed dictionary. The proposed model consists of an unknown noun recognition phase based on full text analysis, an unknown verb recognition phase based on web document frequency, and an unknown noun recognition phase based on web document frequency. The proposed model can recognize accurately the unknown words occurred once and again in a document by the full text analysis. Also, the proposed model can recognize broadly the unknown words occurred once in the document by using web documents. Besides, the proposed model fan recognize both a Korean unknown verb, which syllables can be changed from its base form by inflection, and a Korean unknown noun, which syllables are not changed in any eojeol. Experimental results shows that the proposed model improves precision 1.01% and recall 8.50% as compared with a previous model.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Realisierungsmechanismus der fakultativen $Erg\"{a}nzung$ aufgrund des zweidimensionalen Valenzmodells und des zweistufigen Semantikmodlells behandelt. Dabei wurde die $Fakultativit\"{a}t\;der\;Erg\"{a}nzung$ nicht als ein $Ph\"{a}nomen$ im Lexikon angesehen, sondern als ein $Ph\"{a}nomen$ auf der Ebene der Valenzrealisierung, das als Resultat des Zusammenspiels von valenzunabhangigen Faktoren zu betrachten ist. In der bisherigen Valenzforschung wurde die $Fakultativit\"{a}t\;als\;eine\;ausschlie{\ss}lich$ idiosynkratische Eigenschaft des einzelnen Verbs interpretiert, die man bei jedem Verb erlernen $mu{\ss}$. Gegen diese Auffassung wandte die vorliegende Arbeit ein, dass die $Fakultativit\"{a}t$ keine unvoraussagbare idiosynkratische Eigenschaft des einzelnen Verbs ist: Die $Fakultativit\"{a}t\;der\;Erg\;"{a}nzung$ kann durch $Regularit\"{a}ten$ allgemein vorausgesagt werden. Anhand der statischen Lokalisierungsverben im Deutschen wurde gezeigt, dass die $Fakultativit\"{a}t\;der\;lokalen\;Erg\;"{a}nzung$ von den konzeptuellen Prozessen $abh\"{a}ngt:$ Bei dem $Lokalisierungsproze{\ss}$ ist die Realisierung der lokalen $Erg\"{a}nzung$ notwendig. Dagegen ist die Realisierung der lokalen $Erg\"{a}nzung$ bei dem $Delokalisierungsproze{\ss}$ optional. Wenn man die $Fakultativit\"{a}t$ durch allgemeine $Regularit\"{a}ten\;erkl\"{a}ren$ kann, dann ist es nicht $n\"{o}tig,\;die\;Fakultativit\"{a}t$ bei jedem Verb im Lexikon zu markieren. Dadurch kann das mentale Lexikon enorm entlastet werden. Dies bedeutet $f\"{u}r$ deutschlernende $Ausl\"{a}nder$ eine $gro{\ss}e$ Erleichterung.

Purpose : We investigated the reproducibility of language lateralization by 4 different word generation paradigms or the rest contents in each paradigm using functional magnetic resonance imaging in normal volunteers Materials and Methods Nine normal volunteers with left-handedness (mean age: 25 yrs) were examined on a 1.57 MR unit using a single-shot gradient echo epibold sequence. Four different word generation paradigms of noun, verb, adjective and adverb were used in each normal volunteer for investigating language system. In each paradigm, two different rest contents consisted of only seeing the " +" symbol or reading the meaningless letters. Each task consisted of 96 phases including 3 activations and 6 rests of 2 different contents. Two activation maps in one task were obtained under two different rest contents using the correlation method. We evaluated the detection rates of Broca and Wernicke areas and the differences of language lateralization among four different word generation paradigms, or between the rest contents. Results : The detection rates of Broca and Wernicke areas were over 67 % in 4 different language paradigms and there was no significant difference of them among language paradigms, or between two different rest contents. Language dominances, in all 4 different language paradigms, were shown to be consistent in 66 %, but were contrary with language paradigms in some subjects. The rest contents made no significant effect on dominant language dominance determination, but the success rates of the dominant language dominances determined from 4 language paradigms were higher in reading the meaningless letter (100%, n=9) than in only seeing "+" on screen at the rest task (78%, n=7).

An extended form of lexical network is explored by presenting U-WIN, which applies lexical relations that include not only semantic relations but also conceptual relations, morphological relations and syntactic relations, in a way different with existing lexical networks that have been centered around linking structures with semantic relations. So, This study introduces the new methodology for constructing a syntactic relation automatically. First of all, we extract probable nouns which related to verb based on verb's sentence type. However we should decided the extracted noun's meaning because extracted noun has many meanings. So in this study, we propose that noun's meaning is decided by the example matching rule/syntactic pattern/semantic similarity, frequency information. In addition, syntactic pattern is expanded using nouns which have high frequency in corpora.

The aims of this research were to analyze and compare verbs in the contents of the 7th, 2007, and 2009 revised national curriculum for elementary and middle school science. After the investigation of 1383 verbs in description of achievement standards and inquiry, we found that 'to know'(15.0 %) in elementary school and 'to understand'(24.2 %) in middle school were the most frequently used ones, totally in these three curriculums. In the 7th national curriculum, frequently used verbs in elementary school were ones related with inquiry such as observation, investigation and so on though 'to understand' had the most common verbs. Secondly, 'to explain' ranked top among verbs in the 2007 revised national curriculum. It showed some possibility of influences of the discussion-oriented situation at that time. Finally, however, in 2009 revised national curriculum, 'to know' and 'to understand' occupied the first and second portion of the verb distribution. In addition, 'to understand' and 'to observe' were used evenly through three curriculums but the portions of 'to know' increased through curriculum revisions. Some implications and discussions were also added with suggestions for further researches.
