The study on the intonational characteristics is concentrated on the lowering of the pitch level that is described as declination and downstep. The Taegu dialect, which has phonological accentual system, has these phonetic characteristics in affirmative sentences or Yes-No Question sentences. But there is the opposite phenomenon in WH question sentences in Taegu dialect. When the accent of interrogative word in the sentence intial position is LHL, intonation pattern shows a continuous upward movement, indicating that intonation pattern of Taegu dialect is influenced by not only grammatical system but also accentual system.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the current status of the use of neglect test tools and the awareness for egocentric neglect (EN) and allocentric neglect (AN). Methods: A survey questionnaire was distributed to occupational therapists attending continuing education at the Daegu-Gyeongbuk branch on April 16. A total 143 responses were collected, and with the exception of 5 incomplete responses, 138 of them were analyzed. Results: The most commonly used unilateral neglect test tools were the line bisection test (86 responses, 62.3%), cancellation test (35 responses, 25.4%), copy and drawing test (7 responses, 5.1%). In a follow-up survey of 86 respondents who used line bisection tests as the most commonly used test, the majority (82 responses, 95.3%2) were found to use the 20-line test paper. In question about the familiarity and education experience for test manual, only 20 responses (23.2%) and 3 responses (3.5%) answered 'Yes'. In a question about the experience of a manual and the article for the manual, 25 responses (29.1%) answered 'Yes'. In the question regarding the separation of EN and AN on the unilateral neglect test, 44 responses (31.9%) were 'distinction' and 94 responses (68.1%) were 'no distinction'. Conclusion: Information on the guidance and interpretation of the line bisection test is lacking and the concept of EN and AN was insufficient.

Objective : Doctors who treat women in childbed have to pay attention to postpartum blues and depression which women in childbed can suffer from, as well as recovery of physical function. Methods : Subjects were 107 females who admitted in Woosuk Hospital of Oriental Medicine from September, 2000 to October, 2001 and made out the question paper within 10 days after delivery. The paper included EPDS(Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and many items known to be the factors related to postpartum blues and depression. Results : The rate of postpartum depression assessed by EPDS was 16.8%. As the result of analysis, there were significant statistic corelations between each group assessed by EPDS and age parity relation with husband yes or no living with parents-in-law. But there were no significant corelations between each group assessed by EPDS and education religion yes or no occupation delivery method sex of infant marriage type yes or no rearing the infant. Conclusions : We recognized that insufficiency- of delivery experience and stress due to bad adaptation after delivery are possible to be risk factors of postpartum blues and depression. More research should be taken on the corelation between postpartum depression and yes or no living with parents-in-law, because this result is opposite to the trouble between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In addition, more research is needed on corelation between physical condition, oriental-diagnosis of women in childbed and postpartum depression.

A combination procedure of successive occasions sampling and randomized response method is investigated. Randomized response technique is very simple for use in a telephone survey of a sensitive subject. In the suggested randomized response method. the interviewee replies "yes" or "no" to a randomly selected question and the investigator can estimate the proportion of "yes" or "no" answer. When this procedure is used on successive occasions, not only the proportion supporting a candidate and the time change in this supporting proportion can be derived but also the voters' swing in the trend of voters' support can be estimated. A numerical example is given to show how the suggested sampling strategy can be applied to a practical telephone survey.

Despite the fact that the phenomenal success of the classical model in phonology in terms of a small set of binary atomic primitives has encouraged the use of criterical features in the characterization of syntactic and semantic categories, cognitive linguists have recently found many evidences against it and proposed a valid alternative like prototype approach to classical model of linguistic categorization. In this paper the examples with prototype effects are shown in phonology, morphology, and syntax. In phonology there is no clear-cut borderline in initial sounds such as / r, m, n, v, ${\eth}$, z, w. j, b. d, g / and between vowels and consonants. In morphology family resemblance is shown between strong verbs and past tenses. In syntax there is no borderline among various kinds of sentences such as declarative, command, WH-question, yes-no question, etc.

Purpose : This study aims to provide basic data to establish an effective emergency medical service system by analyzing health educator' understanding and use of emergency medical service system at schools. Method : 93 questionnaires from 200 elementary, middle and high school nurses in the city D were collected from May 26 to July 7, 2008 and ${\chi}^2$ analysis and frequency analysis were carried out with SPSS win PC 14.0. Results : 1. As for emergency contact points, 3(3.30%) answers 'they do not have any knowledge', 40(43.96%) said 'they have some idea' and 48(52.75%) said 'they do know about it'. Among 24 respondents who have less than five years of working experience, 2(8.33%), 16(66.67%) and 6(25.00%) answered 'have no knowledge', 'a little knowledge' and 'clear knowledge on it' respectively. As for 9 who have 6-10 years of career, 1(12.50%), 4(50.00%) and 3(37.50%) answered 'have no knowledge', 'a little knowledge' and 'clear knowledge on it' respectively. Among 32 respondents who have 11~20 years, there were no respondents with no knowledge on the given question, and 9(29.03%) said they have some understanding and 22(70.97%) answered they have clear understanding on the topic. From this result, it can be said that there is statistically meaningful differences among different working year groups with ${\chi}^2=16.583$ and p= .010. 2. As for 119 emergency contact in the given district, 24(29.63%), 30(37.04%) and 27 (33.33%) answered 'do not know', 'know' and 'know very well' respectively. As for the question to ask whether they know Emergency Medical Information Center 1339, 66(70.97%) answered 'Yes' and 27(29.03%) answered 'No'. When it comes to emergency contact numbers and list of hospitals, 59(63.44%) said 'they have some list', 20(21.51%) answered 'they have well established contact network' and 14(15.05%) said 'they have none'. 3. As for the use of 119 service at the time of emergency at schools, 59(63.44%), said 'Yes' and 12(12.90%) answered 'No'. Among those who said 'yes', 29(31.18%), 24(25.81%) and 5(5.38%) answered they have used the service 1-2, 3-5 and 6-10 times respectively. Conclusion : In order to ensure health educator to effectively deal with emergency situations at schools, there should be special activities to enhance health educator' understanding on 119 and Emergency Medical Information Center 1339 and at the same time, a system should be established to connect schools, 119 in a given district, hospitals and Emergency Medical Information Center 1339.

Purpose: By identifying the actual profile of emergency medical personnel's pre-admission infection control practices, this study intended to provide a basic reference material for the improvement and reorientation of pre-admission infection control measures, and thereby help establish an effective plan for pre-admission infection control activities. Methods: Total 119 EMT's working for Jeollabuk-do Provincial Fire Defense HQ were asked to join a structured questionnaire survey from June to August 2006. Results: 1. It was found that 56.1% respondents answered no guideline available on the prevention of infection. Out of our rescue brigade members who knew about relevant guideline available, 34.2% respondents answered that their department conducted quality control program for the guideline. 2. For protective outfit in emergency practice, it was found that most respondents put on gloves or nothing at all(38%), which was followed by sterile gloves(29.2%), disposable mask(26.9%), gown(4.3%) and protective goggle(1.6%). And it was noted that all respondents(100%) washed out any clothing contaminated with somatic secretion on their own. 3. For a question about any experience in emergency activities exposed to infectious diseases, it was found that most of all respondents(77.9%) answered 'No', which was followed by 'Don't Know'(18.6%) and Yes(3.9 %). 4. For a question about any experience in inquiring of patients about infectious diseases, it was found that most respondents(49.4%) answered 'Yes' and 'Sometimes'(9.1%). It was noted that 20.2% respondents had extra medical examination in medical institution in terms of whether they were exposed to infectious diseases, apart from regular medical examination. Conclusions: In order to protect 119 EMT's from infectious diseases, it will be necessary to acquire emergency medical staffs specializing in infection control and organize corresponding personnel training units to keep providing reorientation and evaluation. In addition, it will be also necessary to supply them with a full set personal protection apparatuses and other equipments required for disinfection and sterilization.

It has been one of the puzzles in the English syntax that so called the rule of subject-auxiliary inversion (SAI) is not allowed in subject wh-movement while it is not obligatory in non-subject wh-movement in a root sentence. This asymmetry has been a puzzle since SAI itself was thought to be a part of question construction as we can observe from yes/no questions. The asymmetry gets more complicated in terms of sentence embedding, i.e no SAI is permitted in the embedded context in question. The goal of this paper is to suggest an unified analysis for this unsolved grammatical phenomena on the basis of Rizzi (1997)'s recent work. The main idea is that SAI is not a I-to-C movement but one of I-to-Focus where Focus is a functional category and its phrase is located between CP and IP. The other proposal is that Wh-movement is no more homogeneous in terms of landing site between a root and an embedded sentence: the target for a wh-phrase in the former is the Spec of FocP (Focus Phrase) but the one in the latter is the Spec of CP as the standard theory assumes. Pesetsky (l999)'s analysis is discussed and its theoretical and empirical shortages are pointed out. Its rather radical proposals such as the one that the nominative case is just an uninterpretable tense feature of DP and the other that 'that' is no longer a complementizer but an element of I(nflection) make it less acceptable in spite of the possibility that it can get rid of Case theory entirely, which would be ideal in the spirit of minimalism.

This paper presents the observation that negative alternative questions across languages can be formed only when negation has not been inverted (Han (1999)), and proposes to derive this fact from the effects of Focus on negation and the LF-syntax of yn-questions. Although the questions in (1) have the same components (they both contain the proposition expressed by John drank coffee or tea plus negation), they do not have the same interpretation. (1b) has either a yn-question reading or an alternative question (alt-) reading. Under, the yn-reading, the possible answers are Yes, John drank coffee or tea and No, John did not drink coeffer or tea, John didn’t drink one of them, and the possible answers are John did not drink coffee and John did not drink tea (see Karttunen (1977), Larson (1985), Higginbotham (1993) on the semantics of alt-questions). (la), on the other hand, has only the yn-reading.
