We propose an algorithm for the automatic acquisition of a bilingual lexicon in the legal domain. We make use of a parallel corpus of bilingual court judgments, aligned to the sentence level, and analyse the bilingual context profiles to extract corresponding legal terms in both languages. Our method is different from those in past studies as it does not require any prior knowledge source, and naturally extends to multi-word terms in either language. A pilot test was done with a sample of ten legal terms, each with ten or more occurrences in the data. Encouraging results of about 75% average accuracy were obtained. This figure does not only reflect the effectiveness of the method for bilingual lexicon acquisition, but also its potential for bilingual alignment at the word or expression level.

This study was carried out to reveal Hangul acquisition processes in Korean-Chinese children who grow in a horizontal bilingual environment. In this experiment Grapheme substitution/deletion tasks and sensible/non-sensible Kulja reading tasks were administered to 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-year-old Korean-Chinese children growing up in a bilingual environment. Results were that Korean-Chinese children showed similar patterns of Hangul acquisition processes to Korean children but acquired grapheme-phoneme(G-P) correspondence earlier than Korean children. Hangul acquisition rates were 41.7%, 45.7%, 53% and 92.7% at age 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Both Korean-Chinese and Korean children showed higher sensitivity for the final consonant than for the initial and middle consonants. Correlation between phoneme perception and reading was only significant among 6-year-olds in non-sensible Kulja reading tasks. Training in transforming ideographic Chinese to a phonetic system could effect early acquisition of G-P correspondence in Korean-Chinese children.

This study examined the language acquisition of children from Chinese families in Korea under the bilingual background of Korean and Chinese, focusing on pronunciation and vocabulary. First, in the analysis of pronunciation acquisition, children correctly realized the lenition, aspirated sound, glottalization, palatalization, nasalization, and liquidization while the realization of pronunciation rules for unfamiliar words was low. There were also errors caused when the application principles of pronunciation were not accurately understood or they were not partially acquired. Second, in the analysis of vocabulary acquisition, the acquisition of receptive vocabulary was in the order of verb, noun, and adjective while they clearly understood vocabulary used in the actual relationships with school, family, and peers. In the acquisition of productive vocabulary, they showed the 'meaning-centered principle' of learning the meaning of vocabulary first and then learning its form afterwards. The amount of study and exposure to Korean language had effects on the improvement of vocabulary. Even though this study focused on the errors and characteristics in the acquisition process of Korean pronunciation and vocabulary for children from Chinese families in Korea, it could not clearly find out which one would have greater effects on the acquisition of Korean language. However, lots of exchanges and experiences with surrounding environment and peer group had great effects on the language acquisition and language acquisition transfer of children.

This letter introduces a new method to automatically acquire paraphrases using bilingual corpora. It utilizes the bilingual dependency relations obtained by projecting a monolingual dependency parse onto the other language's sentence based on statistical alignment techniques. Since the proposed paraphrasing method can clearly disambiguate the sense of the original phrases using the bilingual context of dependency relations, it would be possible to obtain interchangeable paraphrases under a given context. Through experiments with parallel corpora of Korean and English language pairs, we demonstrate that our method effectively extracts paraphrases with high precision, achieving success rates of 94.3% and 84.6%, respectively, for Korean and English.

This study examined the spontaneous utterances of 20 1-2 year old Korean-Chinese children in Yanji, China by videotaping their spontaneous natural speech during interaction with his/her caregiver for 30 minutes on 4 separate occasions. Utterances were transcribed and coded by nominative and accusative case markers; then analyzed by grammatical functions. Results showed that the order and pattern of the acquisition of the case marking system of Korean-Chinese bilinguals differed from that of Korean monolinguals. Bilinguals used the accusative marker -lul earlier than the nominative marker-ka and overextended the accusative marker more often than the nominative marker. These results are consistent with those of Gathercole (in press) who found that bilingual children differed from monolinguals in mastering grammar.

Korean (L1)-English (L2) bilingual adults' and children's production of Korean and English stops was examined to determine the age effects and L2 experience on the development of L1 and L2 stop contrasts. Four groups of Seoul Korean speakers (experienced and inexperienced adult and child groups) and two groups of age-matched native English speakers participated. The overall results of voice onset time (VOT) and fundamental frequency (F0) of phrase-initial stops in Korean and word-intial stops in English showed a delay in the acquisition of L1 due to the dominant exposure to L2. Significantly longer VOT and lower F0 for aspirated stops as well as high temporal variability across repetitions of lenis stops were interpreted to indicate a strong effect of English on Korean stop contrasts for bilingual children. That is, the heavy use of VOT for Korean stop contrasts shows bilingual children's attention to the acoustic cue that are primarily employed in the dominant L2. Furthermore, inexperienced children, but not adults, were shown to create new L2 categories that are distinctive from the L1 within 6 months of L2 experience, suggesting greater independence between the two phonological systems. The implications of bilinguals' age at the time of testing to the degree and direction of L1-L2 interaction are further discussed.

As the globalization process progresses more rapidly and widely, there has been a ever-growing demand for multilingual learning. Compared with the study of Second Language Acquisition, studies on the Third Language and even Multilingual Acquisition have attracted a relatively poor attention. At the same time, considering current educational environments for ethnic colleges and universities, the effects of college English teaching for minority students can be said to have been 'generally poor.' In this situation, when we try to find ways to improve college English studies for minority students most of whom already can speak two languages or even more, it would not be the best idea to keep following the experiences of traditional Second Language Acquisition. It is necessary first to find out whether there are positive or negative effects in acquiring multiple languages, and then to conduct a profound research on L3 (third language and even multilingual) Acquisition in order to employ more efficient teaching methods for multilingual learners. After conducting a Japanese-teaching experiment on two groups of learners with mono-lingual and bilingual backgrounds, it has been found that there is a positive transfer between different languages. In this paper, following the recent research findings on Language teaching for multilingual learners, I try to show with further supports that when it comes to language education for learners with multilingual backgrounds, we should focus on the advantages they may earn in order to conduct more effective language acquisition.

Translation equivalence is very important for bilingual lexicography, machine translation system and cross-lingual information retrieval. Extraction of equivalences from bilingual sentence pairs belongs to data mining problem. In this paper, discriminative learning methods are employed to filter translation equivalences. Discriminative features including translation literality, phrase alignment probability, and phrase length ratio are used to evaluate equivalences. 1000 equivalences randomly selected are filtered and then evaluated. Experimental results indicate that its precision is 87.8% and recall is 89.8% for support vector machine.

본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 태어나면서부터 영어와 한국어를 동시에 습득하는 한 한국어린이(R)의 한국어 후치부정어 발달과정을 살펴보는 것이고, 둘째, 후치부정어의 발달과정과 실제 사용상의 발달적인 측면에서 한국어만 습득하는 어린이들과 비교하여 비슷한 발달 모습과 다른 모습을 분석하는 것이다. 세 번째는 R의 한국어 부정어 습득 과정뿐만 아니라 관찰되는 특별한 형태의 원인을 규명하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구의 대상은 한국어와 영어를 동시에 습득하는 어린이이며, 연구방법은 종단연구를 사용하였으며, 한국어의 후치부정어 발달을 5세에서 7세 사이의 2년에 걸쳐 연구하였다. 전체적으로 R 의 후치부정어의 습득은 습득환경의 영향으로 속도에 차이가 있으며 한국어만 습득하는 어린이와 비슷한 발달모습을 보이지만 다른 발달모습도 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 R이 호주에 살고 있는 동안에는 모국어와 제2언어 학습메커니즘 두 기능 모두를 사용한다는 것을 보여 주고, 그 반면에 한국에 살고 있는 동안에는 모국어 학습메커니즘 만을 사용한다는 것을 보여 주고 있다. 이러한 결과는 모국어와 제2언어 학습메커니즘이 기본적으로는 서로 다르지 않다는 것을 보여 주고 있다. 왜냐하면 한 어린이가 서로 다른 두 언어 환경에 따라 발달 과정이 퇴보하였다 진보하였다 하는 특성을 보여 주기 때문이다.

본 연구는 베를린 국립유럽학교(SESB)의 교육과정을 분석하여, 독일의 이주민 사회통합 정책에 따른 상호문화교육에 대하여 이중언어교육을 중심으로 알아보았다. 이를 위하여 베를린 국립유럽학교 중에서 Joan-Miró 초등학교와 Finow 초등학교을 사례로 교육과정을 분석하였다. 독일에서는 이주가정의 학생이 자신이 속한 문화적 공동체의 언어 및 정체성을 유지하면서 동시에 독일사회에 통합할 수 있는 다문화교육 정책을 유지하고 있다. 따라서 이주자들의 모국어 사용능력 유지와 이주학생들의 독일어습득이 독일의 사회통합 정책의 중심에 있다고 할 수 있다. 베를린 국립유럽학교는 학생들의 언어능력뿐만 아니라, 다양한 문화적 배경의 학생들을 위한 상호문화교육 환경 조성을 위하여 설립된 일반 공립학교이다. 베를린의 국립유럽학교는 이주가정 출신의 학생들이 그들의 언어와 문화정체성을 유지하는 것과 동시에 독일사회에 통합할 수 있도록 하는 상호문화교육을 교육목표로 하고 있다. Joan-Miró 초등학교에서는 학생들의 미래 지식사회를 위한 준비와 함께 상호문화 능력 및 이중언어 능력을 장려하고, 학생들로 하여금 독립적 생활과 자기주도적 학습을 할 수 있도록 하고 있다. Finow 초등학교에서는 학생들에게 미래 유럽의 지식사회에서 요구하는 시민으로서의 역량을 강화시킬 수 있는 기본능력 이외에 상호문화적 역량 및 언어적 역량, 그리고 지향성 역량을 장려하고 있다. 한국 학교의 외국어교육에서도 독일의 국립 유럽학교와 같이 실용적으로 다변화할 필요가 있다. 이와 함께 학생들의 이중언어능력의 개선, 학생 각각의 개인별 특성에 맞는 능력개발, 그리고 상호문화이해역량을 증진할 수 있도록 교육환경의 개선이 필요하다.
