This paper describes the automatic extraction of collocations based on corpus. The collocations are extracted from corpus using cooccurrence frequency and mutual information between words. In English, 5 types of collocations are defined. These collocations are transitive verb and object, intransitive verb and subject, adjective and noun, verb and adverb, and adverb and adjective. In this paper another type of collocation is recognized and extracted, which consists of verb and preposition. So 6 types of collocations are extracted based on corpus.

People frequently exchange their message or information. In recent years, as the communication means are getting various, many new words are made and changing. Remarkably, a noun 'Wanjeon' in Korean is using as an adverb in real life. Therefore, first, this paper attempted to review the adverbialization of 'Wanjeon' on the analysis of written and spoken corpus in Korean and Japanese. Second, it considered the morphological and syntactical difference between 'Wanjeon' and 'Wanjeonhi' in Korean with the contrast with Japanese 'Kanzen' and 'Kanzenni'. Third, it reviewed what semantic difference are made when 'Wanjeon' and 'Wanjeonhi' are substituted also with the contrast with Japanese.

This study investigates how the truth-related words in Korean, which were originally noun or adverb with 'truth' related meaning, can be used as discourse markers with the functions such as 'emphatic marker', 'attention getter', or 'hesitation marker', and it argues that such functions of the discourse markers are the result of grammaticalization process. That is to say that the truth-related words have acquired new functions as discourse markers from their corresponding lexical items as a noun or an adverb through grammaticalization process. In this study, we demonstrate that the truth-related words tend to appear sentence-initially or sentence-medially when they are used as discourse markers. We also show that they are most likely to be used as emphatic marker because of the lexical meaning of the truth-related words. Finally, we state that truth-related words differ from one another in where they appear and what function they are used with.

The aim of this paper is to study the morphemization of {Geuraegajigo} based on a spontaneous speech corpus. For this purpose, the distributions, the semantic functions, and the intonational phrase pattterns of the connective {Geuraegajigo} have been analyzed based on the corpus. The results are as follow; at first, coalescence that comes with a morphemization process was found, resulting in many variations. Secondly, there are three functions of it: [Direct/Indirect interrelationship], [Enumerate conjunction], and [Discourse marker]. And this semantic/functional diversity has many similarities with conjunctive adverbs. Lastly, intonational phrase patterns of {Geuraegajigo} accord with those of conjunctive adverbs. Especially, the discourse strategic IP pattern is connected with the short variation type. In conclusion, {Geuraegajigo} has finished turning into a conjunctive adverb through morphemization.

A Korean adverb '거의(geoui)' modifies predicates to generate complex predicates which have meanings of 'nearly' complete or typical properties of the modified predicates in quantities, degrees, and frequencies. The modified predicates 'complete' or 'typical' properties are referred counterfactually as standards for the generated predicates' meanings of deficiencies. These counterfactual standards can be formalized by a counterfactual conditional operator of the intensional semantics in Cresswell(1990). The deficiencies in the quantities, degrees, or frequencies of the properties can be expressed formally introducing a world-independent measure of comparison. The measure can be manufactured out of relations between intensional things at indices and their equivalence classes. The world-independent measure of comparison has a semantic structure under-specified in quantity, degree, and frequency, and seems very well-suited in describing lexical meaning of '거의(geoui)'. The lexical-semantic analysis of '거의(geoui)' shows explicitly the plausibility of the indispensable existence of the comparing measure which works across real and counterfactual worlds in natural language meaning. On the other hand, we examined Kim, young-hee(1985)'s proposal of a transition of quantificational meaning for Korean degree adverbs, where he tried to explain the quantificational meaning of Korean degree adverbs in general including '거의(geoui)' with several syntactic and semantic constraints of 'contextual deletion'. But it is shown that the quantificational meanings of the degree adverbs which Kim(1985) discussed are also explained better by their under-specified meanings in quantities, frequencies and degrees with the world-independent measure of comparison applied to their paradigmatic lexical constraint rather than Kim(1985)'s transition of meaning.

Im Rahmen der Prinzipien und Parametertheorie ist die $koh\"{a}rente$ Konstruktion umstritten in bezug auf die Frage, ob sie yon der satzwertigen, $inkoh\"{a}renten$ Konstruktion(i.e. Small Clause) herleitbar ist oder nicht. Die derivationellen Analysen wie Evakuierungsanalyse, Verbanhebungsanalyse und Reanalyse gehen von der Annahme aus, $da{\ss}\;die\;koh\"{a}rente$ Konstruktion eine von der $inkoh\"{a}renten$ Konstruktion derivierte Variation ist. Im Gegensatz dazu ist nach der Unifikationsanalyse die $koh\"{a}rente$ Konstruktion die basisgenerierte monosententiale Konstruktion. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird versucht, die empirische und theoretische $Unad\"{a}quatheit$ der derivationellen Analysen zu zeigen. Wenn die derivationellen Analysen korrekt $w\"{a}ren,\;mu{\ss}te$ auch nach der Derivaton beim langen Passiv das Akkusativkomplement der Infinitivkonstruktion ohne Kasuskonversion bleiben. Aber in der Tat wird der Nominativkasus dem Komplement der Infinitivkonstruktion zugewiesen. In der empirischen Gesichtspunkten steht das lange Passiv nicht im Einklang rnit den derivationellen Analysen. Ferner $mu{\ss}$ nach Chomskys $\"{O}konomieprinzip$ die Derivation obligatorisch sein. Aber die derivationellen Analysen, nach denen der grammatische Satz vom grammatischen Satz deriviert wird, ist nicht obligatorisch, sondern fakultativ. Sie sind theoretisch nicht $ad\"{a}quat$. In dieser Arbeit wird die Resultativkonstruktionen als weitere $koh\"{a}rente$ Konstruktion vorgeschlagen. Dabei wird die Evidenz gegen die Small Clause Struktur, die nach den derivationellen Analysen als $urspr\"{u}ngliche$ Struktur der koharenten Konstruktion angenommen wurde, zweierlei wie folgt gezeigt: Skopus und Idiomatisierung. Wenn die Resultativkonstruktionen als Small Clause analysiert werden, kann ein Adverb innerhalb des Small Clause auftreten, das den weiten Skopus $\"{u}ber$ den Gesamtsatz hat. Aber unter der Small Clause Analyse kann $tats\"{a}chlich$ das Adverb wegen der K-Kommandobedingung keinen weiten Skopus. D.h. das Adverb kann das finite Verb nicht k-kommandieren. Idiomatisierung bildet vor der Transformation im Lexikon eine syntaktische Einheit. In der Resultativkonstruktion, die das $inh\"{a}rente$ Reflexivum enthalt, $k\"{o}nnen\;das\;Resultativpr\"{a}dikat$ und das Verb wie ein reflexives Verb analysiert werden. Aber unter der Small Clause Analyse ist Idiomatisierung des $Resultativpr\"{a}dikats\;und\;Verbs\;nicht\;m\"{o}glich$, weil sie in der D-Struktur keine syntaktische Einheit bilden.

The opinion mining technique which analogize significant information from SNS message is increasingly important because opinions communicated through SNS are increasing. This paper propose SEIAS(SNS Emotional Information Analysis Strategy) based on opinion mining that analogize emotional information from SNS setting a different weight according to position of antonym and adverb. Firstly, the proposed SEIAS constructs a emotion dictionary for opinion mining analysis, Secondly, it collects SNS data on real time, compare it with emotion dictionary and calculates opinion value of SNS data. Specially, it increases the precision of opinion analysis result compared to the existing SO-PMI because it sets up the different value according to the position of antonym and adverb when it calculates the opinion value of data.

In this paper, we present a morphosyntactic and semantic study of the concessive conjunctive phrase [todavía que] in the Andean and River Plate areas of Latin America. Real Academia $Espa{\tilde{n}}ola$(2009) describes that the adverb todavía occurs in a variety of focus-sensitive environments and specially, in the Andean and River Plate areas, the phrase [todavía que] participates in the concessive constructions and triggers an additive interpretation. It is well known that the Quechuan suffix '-raq' and the Aymaran suffix '-raki' have the meaning of todavía which is characterized as a additive particle. Due to the absence of the paratactic relationship between the mentioned Spanish adverb and those indigenous suffixes, the adverb todavía in [todavía que] is used as a additive focalizer. We assume that these morphosyntactic and semantic properties are derived from the language contact of Quechua-Spanish and Aymara Spanish. Based on this assumption, we will further assume that the etymological peculiarity of todavía as a universal quantifier is closely related to the reading of [todavía que] as a Scalar Additive Concessive Conjunctive Phrase.

The auditory experiments based on the subjective annoyance responses were undertaken for the establishment of the adverb modifiers of the heavy-weight impact noises. The standard heavy weight impact noise, impact ball noise and adult walking noise were recorded by dummy head at a newly-built apartment and were presented to the subjects by headphones. The levels of the three impact noises were varied from 30 to 60㏈(A) and the subjects matched one of the adverb modifiers to each level of the noise sources. As a result, seven scale modifiers were established and the intervals between the modifiers were found as equal. In addition, it was found that the lower annoyance noise limits for the heavyweight impact, impact ball and walking were 40-45㏈ (L$\sub$I, Fmax. AW), which is 6㏈ lower than in the previous study. The background noise level was as low as 21㏈(A) in the test booth, therefore, the testing conditions need to be concerned for evaluation of floor impact noise.

This paper discusses the distribution of a null complementizer C, as opposed to an overt counterpart 'that', presenting empirical support both for and against the PF-merge analysis of C proposed by Boscovic and Lasnik (2003, henceafter B&L) who in turn attribute to the proposal in Pesetsky (1992) and Halle & Marantz (1993). In Section I, as a background, I discuss B&L's proposal that a null complementizer C is a PF-affix which undergoes a PF-merger operation at the PF component. In Section 2, after a brief sketch of the distribution of a null C mostly in bare-relatives, I explore the possibility of extending B&L's analysis to accomodate the null C's in the bare-relative constructions. In Section 3, I argue that despite some empirical difficulties, B&L's analysis of a null C as a PF-affix can still be maintained, if Adverb Fronting is an operation to Spec-C position. Furthermore, I propose a rule - PF Spell-Out Constraint - to account for the C-trace (i.e. that-trace) effect in relative constructions. With the PF Spell-Out Constraint and B&L's PF-merge account, the distribution of a null C can better be analyzed.
