  • 노년기에는 의사소통의 전체적인 맥락을 해석할 때 표면적으로 드러나는 단서에 주로 의존하게 되면서, 함축적이고 우회적인 표현인 비유언어를 처리하는 능력이 저하된다. 따라서 의사소통 시, 타인의 의도를 효과적으로 이해하고 자신의 의사를 전달하는 데 어려움을 보일 수 있다. 본 연구는 정상 청년층 50명과 정상 노년층 50명을 대상으로 비유언어의 하위영역인 직유 은유 관용어 속담 이해 과제를 실시하여 노화에 따른 비유언어 처리능력의 특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 과제는 제시되는 전체적인 내용과 적합한 비유언어를 보기문항 중에서 선택하도록 하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 노년층은 청년층에 비해 모든 비유언어 하위 과제에서 더 저하된 수행력을 보였다. 둘째, 노년층은 비친숙한 관용어와 속담 이해과제에서 더 저하된 수행력을 보였다. 셋째, 노년층은 문자 그대로의 의미에 국한하여 문항을 이해하는 양상을 빈빈히 보였다. 노년층은 특정 상황 맥락에 맞게 효과적인 의사소통을 할 수 있는 능력인 화용언어 능력과 더불어 내포된 의미를 추론하는 능력 및 문자 그대로의 의미와 같은 표면적인 단서를 억제할 수 있는 능력이 저하될 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 노화로 인하여 일상의 의사소통 상황에서 화자의 내포된 의미를 이해하는 것에 어려움을 보일 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • The purpose of this paper is to provide corpus-based quantitative analyses of HEART and HEAD in order to examine their actual usage status and to consider some cognitive linguistic aspects associated with their use. The two corpora COCA and COHA are used for analysis in this study. The analysis of COCA corpus reveals that the total frequency of HEAD is much higher than that of HEART, and that the figurative use of HEART (60%) is two times higher than its literal use (32%); by contrast, the figurative use of HEAD (41%) is a bit higher than its literal use (38%). Among all four genres, both lexemes occur most frequently in fictions and then in magazines. Over the past two centuries, the use of HEART has been steadily decreasing; by contrast, that the use of HEAD has been steadily increasing. It is assumed that the decreasing use of HEART has partially to do with the decrease in its figurative use and that the increasing use of HEAD is attributable to its diverse meanings, the increase of its lexical use, and the partial increase in its figurative use. The analysis of the collocation of verbs and adjectives preceding HEART and HEAD, as well the modifying and predicating forms of HEART and HEAD also provides some relevant information of the usage of the two lexemes. This paper showcases that the quantitative information helps understanding not only of the actual usage of the two lexemes but also of the cognitive forces working behind it.

  • 후천성 뇌손상(ABI) 환자의 인지-언어 능력은 하위 영역 간 상호작용의 맥락에서 고려되어야 하는데, 특히 화용언어는 통합적 인지 처리를 관장하는 집행기능과 직결된다. 본 연구에서는 ABI 환자를 대상으로 화용언어와 집행기능 간의 상관성을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 만 55세 이상의 ABI 환자군 35명(뇌졸중에 의한 실어증 21명, TBI 14명)을 대상으로 화용언어와 집행기능 관련 5개 하위 과제를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 실어증 집단은 비유언어 이해 및 기능/상징언어가 실행화 과제와 유의한 상관성을 보였고, TBI 집단은 모든 과제 간에 유의한 상관성이 있었다. 실어증 집단의 비유언어 이해는 실행화, 그리고 TBI 집단의 비유언어 표현과 기능/상징언어는 각각 계획화와 실행화를 가장 잘 예측하는 과제였다. 본 연구를 통해 ABI 이후의 인지-언어적 중재 시 상호 보완적으로 활용할 수 있는 화용언어 및 집행기능 과제들을 제시할 수 있었다.

  • The purpose of this thesis is to explore a common characteristic of the diverse oriental images mainly from the figurative point of view, and apply it to the contemporary expressions and methods of painting. To do that, I separated the concept of figure into two factors - form and image - and then approached and solved the problems of figure by explaining the two factors respectively. Separating form from image is neither to set two factors against each other nor to isolate any of those values. It is worth dividing the form and the image not only because the image of the oriental painting has a figurative value constituted from an external frame of the form, but also because it has a close connection with the meaning that the form holds inside. These are the reasons why I conceptualize the individual language of form and image. Furthermore, I attempted to investigate how those two factors and mutual relations between them make real figurative images under the principle of harmony and coexistence. The theme of this thesis - the figurative aesthetics and its contemporaneity in the oriental paintings is analyzed based on the understanding of 'figure' within the framework of oriental paintings. A research of image from the figurative point of view is valuable in that it criticizes the past method of thinking, and proposes an alternative formula for new way of thinking. In this regard, I indicated the limit of the theory of form-and-spirit that has been one of the most important conceptual theories . Instead, I' accessed to various aesthetic concepts - that are created in the course of image formulation - from the actual figurative point of view, and then even interpreted it as a figurative value of the oriental paintings and it's application within the specific and practical scope. During the course of research, I explored the conceptual elements of the tradition and the principle of figuration. I expect this study to make a footstone for bringing traditional aesthetics to the contemporary context of oriental painting.

  • This study explored proverb comprehension and use in elementary school children by familarity and concreteness of proverbs and children's age, sex, experience of living with grandparents. The 529 fourth and sixth grade participants completed a questionnaire probing knowledge of 16 proverbs; 4 each in four categories(familiar-concrete, familiar-abstract, unfamiliar-concrete, and unfamiliar-abstract). Results showed highest comprehension scores for familiar-concrete proverbs. Sixth graders obtained higher comprehension score than fourth graders in all four proverb categories. There was no difference between grades in frequency of proverb usage. An interaction effect between grade and sex showed that female sixth graders had the highest comprehension score. These results suggest a possibility of relationship between figurative language and cognitive development related to abstract thinking in late school-age children.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore the number and type of proverbs known by elementary school children and explain what variables might influence the proverbs' perception. From Seoul and Chonbuk areas, 632 forth, fifth, and sixth graders at elementary school participated. They completed an open-ended questionnaire asking them to list as many proverbs as they know and probing their experience in the use of proverbs with grandparents, parents, and peers. The results showed that the participants listed a total of 185 proverbs, at an average of six proverbs each, and that 63% were a concrete proverb consisting of only concrete and visible nouns. Children reported relatively different ratios of concrete/abstract/complex proverbs according to their grade. Sixth graders perceived more proverbs which included nouns than other graders. Multiple regression analysis revealed that children's grade and using proverbs with peers influenced their proverb perception. These results may suggest a possibility of relationship between figurative language and cognitive development related to thinking of late school-age children.

  • The Buckwheat Season, evaluated as the best of Lee Hyo-seok's literature, is one of the short stories that represent Korean literature. However, vivid literary expressions such as lyrical and beautiful depictions, figurative expressions and dialects, which show the Korean beauty, rather make learners have difficulty and become a factor that fails in reading comprehension. Thus, it is necessary to revise and present the text modified for the learners' language level. The methods of revising a literary text include the revision of linguistic elements such as cryptic vocabulary or sentence structure and the revision of the composition of the text, e.g. suggestion of characters or plot, or insertion of illustration. The methods of revising the language of the text can be divided into methods of simplification and detailing. However, in the process of revising the text, many depend on the adapter's subjective perception, not revising it with objective criteria. This paper revised the text, utilizing by the Academy of Korean Studies, , and the by the National Institute of Korean Language to secure objectivity in revising the text.

  • 이 연구는 그 중요성이 인식되지 못하고 깊이 있는 연구가 행해지지 않았던 클리셰(cliche)에 주목하여, 셰익스피어 극에 나타난 클리셰를 분석하고자 했다. 일반적으로 클리셰는 은유의 특성을 가진 관용어로만 여겨져 주목받지 못했으나, 은유라는 인지 기제를 갖춘 언어 표현으로써 관용어를 포함한 광의의 개념이다. 본 연구는 영어에서 클리셰의 개념과 범주를 명확히 하기 위해 먼저 클리셰의 개념과 관용어와의 차이점을 살펴보았다. 아울러 본 연구는 클리셰에 대한 깊이 있는 이론적 논의의 출발점이 되고자 하는 취지에서 영문학 작품의 비조이자 클리셰가 가장 많이 언급된 셰익스피어의 작품을 분석 대상으로 삼아, 셰익스피어의 총 20개의 작품에 나타난 클리셰 분석을 통해 셰익스피어의 작품 속에 쓰인 클리셰가 관용어로만 규정지어 질 수 없음을 증명하고자 했다. 본 연구는 클리셰를 셰익스피어의 작품을 통해 정리하여 실증적으로 분석함으로써 관용어와 클리셰의 개념을 명확히 함과 동시에, 두 용어의 사용에 기준을 마련하고, 클리셰를 효율적으로 이해하고 사용할 수 있도록 발판을 마련했다는 점에서 영어 학습자를 비롯한 영 한 통번역 교육 분야의 연구 확장에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

  • In this paper, I propose that the figurative structure of Tongjoo Yoon′s "One Night, Counting the Stars" reflects the poet′s anguish over the colonial reality of Korea in the later stages of the Japanese occupation, especially regarding the forced adoption of Japanese names in 1939. The poet Yoon himself registered at Yonhi College with an adopted Japanese name. In the second half of the poem, the speaker alludes to this historical fact when he confesses that "On a hill lit by myriads of stars / I spelled my name / And covered it over with dirt," and that he "laments (his) shameful name." In the simile of the last stanza, the speaker continues to allude to the "buried" name: "But past winter, come spring to my star, / As green grass sprouts on a grave mound, / So will it spread with pride / On the hill where my name is buried." The longing and the yearning, expressed so simply and in child-like manner in the first half of the poem, become in the second half an urgent need for something that should have been but cannot be, and yet will be in the future-for a world that should be, now lost but to be regained. The poem contains the poet′s earnest belief that the inherited Korean names that were then so shamefully taken away will one day be recovered. It is almost impossible to find any other work written in Korean (despite the most suppressive measures against the use of the Korean language) that also alludes to the adoption of Japanese names. In this respect, "One Night, Counting the Stars" has a unique value in the history of modem Korean literature.

  • Narrative has broad domains. So it is related to the everything man faces in his daily life and also performed in various modes. Narrative is revealed through all media including a character, which is also applied to plastic art. And narrative objects formed beyond the differences in media aid forms of expression are commonly based on a language. The study on such objects which created a new conceit of narratology can be said to be a spiritual trend by which to understand the world and man from the viewpoint of a 'story'. Plastic art took high interest in narrative in the same period as the rise of postmodernist art in the latter half of the 20th century, which was also applied to sculpture. The researcher, therefore, investigated through the history of sculpture in the 20th century the process in which narrative was denied under the value system of modernism and reappeared with the quickening of postmodernism. And as a result this period could be briefly characterized by 'return to figure' and 'reappearance of narrative'. The is, such flow means that late sculpture converted its center of interest from simple geometric abstract forms to irregular, figurative images. The researcher chose as the subject of his study the work of Louise Bourgeois, who was judged to have performed narrative positively and successfully among a great number of performed narrative positively and successfully among a great number of postmodernist sculptors who adopted it as their own strategy of expression. As the central artist of postmodrnist sculpture, She expressed human desire and condition as sexuality through the introspection of her own personal experience in contrast to the character of pop art sensitive to external world. The researcher borrowed narrative semiotics as a method of analyzing more elaborately the problem about the generation of narrative shown in her works. For it, he selected as the sample work for analysis Bourgeois's , which were judged to contain narrative most abundantly and as the metaphor of a gaze and recollection presented a new woman self that sublimed love, hatred, and loneliness. The narrative in her works are characterized by introspection questioning one's own trauma. It has independent domain and characteristics and clearly reveals narrative and content-centered characteristics, which are commonly discovered in postmodernist sculpture. The researcher could more concretely and definitely understand the characteristics of narrative through figurative images by analyzing the sample work. The researcher wanted to call your attention to the fact that the sculpture in the late 20th century contained narrative commonly and uniformly despite being characterized by various expressions and modes. And the focused on highlighting the fact that the narrative was more effectively revealed through figurative images of human body and simultaneously analyzing the formalizing process and structure for narrative. Besides he wanted to argue that the position of narrative defining the characteristics of sculpture should be valued more justly. Also, such acceptance of narrative, which is discovered in the sculpture, will have to be understood as the characteristics of the period reflecting the cultural aspect of the present time.
