In this paper, I show that anaphora across speakers shows both dynamic and static sides. To capture them all formally, I will adopt semantics based on the assumption that variables range over individual concepts that connect epistemic alternatives. As information increases, a variable can take a different range of possible individual concepts. This is captured by the notion of virtual individual (= vi), a set of individual concepts which are indistinguishable in an information state. The use of a pronoun involves two information states, one for the antecedent, which is always part of the common ground, and the other for the pronoun. Information increase changes vis for variables in the common ground. A pronoun can be used felicitously if there is a unique virtual individual in the information state for the antecedent which does not split in two or more distinctive virtual individuals in the information state for the pronoun. The felicity condition for cross-speaker anaphora can be satisfied in declaratives involving modality, interrogatives and imperatives in a rather less demanding way, because in these cases the utterance does not necessarily require non-trivial personal information for proper use of a pronoun.

The purpose of this study is to examine the presentation of Korean grammar on the Korean grammar textbooks for foreigners. Through the results, this study suggests some examples of grammar based on the discourse and context. Since the communicative approach received much attention, some Korean language forms have been researched in the discourse and context. In that sense, we need to survey the grammars presented in the grammar textbooks. The expressions of Korean epistemic modality and discourse function, ('-지요, -잖아(요), -군요', '-기는 하다') in the grammar textbooks have been analyzed. These expressions need to be described with much contextual and situational information and presented in the discourse. However it is a little insufficient to supply a proper amount of information for Korean language learners. To overcome the deficiency, this study presents some situational and contextual information of certain language forms.

This research examines Japanese non-native speakers' (JNNS) modal auxiliary verb use from two different perspectives: frequency of use and preferences for modalities. Additionally, error analysis is carried out to identify errors in modal use common among JNNSs. Their modal use is compared to that of English native speakers within a spoken dialogue corpus which is part of the International Corpus Network of Asian Learners' English. Research findings show at a statistically significant level that when compared to native speakers, JNNSs underuse past forms of modals and infrequently convey epistemic modality, indicating the possibility that JNNSs fail to express their opinions or thoughts indirectly when needed or to convey politeness appropriately. Error analysis identifies the following three types of common errors: (1) the use of incorrect tenses of modal verb phrases, (2) the use of inflected verb forms after modals, and (3) the non-use of main verbs after modals. The first type of error is largely because JNNSs do not master how to express past meanings of modals. The second and third types of errors seem to be due to first language transfer into second language acquisition and JNNSs' overgeneralization of the subject-verb agreement rules to modals respectively.

이 논문은 언어에서 포착되는 '증거성(${\acute{e}}videntialit{\acute{e}}$)' 범주의 의미적 속성과 그 체계를 연구하기 위한 언어학적 토대연구로 진행되었다. 본 연구에서, 우리는 프랑스어와 한국어의 증거성 범주를 $Descl{\acute{e}}s$ & $Guentch{\acute{e}}va$(2000)의 '발화작용이론(la $th{\acute{e}}orie$ de $l^{\prime}op{\acute{e}}ration$ ${\acute{e}}nonciative$)'을 중심으로 비교, 분석하였다. 선행 연구를 바탕으로, 우리는 프랑스어의 문법표지인 '조건법 현재시제'와 한국어의 문법표지인 '-더-'에 드러난 증거성 범주의 의미적 가치를 기술하고, 이 범주가 언어마다 다르게 발현되는 양상을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 우리는 발화작용 이론을 객관적 분석 기제로 이용해, 양 언어 간에 드러나는 증거성 범주를 매개작용으로 다시 정의하고, 시상 및 양태 범주와 구별되는 범주의 구별된 위상을 규명하였다. 또한, 해당 범주의 범언어적 체계와 보편적 의미 가치를 탐색하는 일반 언어학적 연구도 병행하였다. 이를 통해, 본 연구는 '증거성' 이라는 범언어적 현상을 발화작용의 체계 내에서 통합적으로 설명해내었고, 본 연구의 결과는 응용언어학 등의 다양한 분야로 까지 확장되어 활용될 수 있는 가능성도 마련하였다.
