The temporal structure of events on the discourse level has long been of great interest in both theoretical and computational linguistics. In this paper, we offer a unified approach to the temporal relationships related to a hierarchical discourse structure. We apply the method of pronoun resolution to the interpretation of tense. It is based on an analysis within the framework of the controlled information packaging theory. A unique aspect of our account is that temporal interpretation across discourse segments in global discourse is subject to the same principles as the interpretation of global anaphora, and that there is thus no need to postulate independent principles to account for the discourse behaviour of tense. In this way, we can neatly explain the general view that tense parallels the anaphoric nature of pronouns.

This study examines the use of discourse markers in cross-cultural communication between EFL learners in an e-learning environment. The study analyzes the use of discourse markers in a corpus of an interactive web with a bulletin board system through which college students of English at Japanese and Korean universities interacted with each other discussing the topics of local and global issues. It compares the use of discourse markers in the learners' corpus to that of a native English speakers' corpus. The results indicate that discourse markers are useful interactional devices to structure and organize discourse. EFL learners are found to display more frequent use of referentially and cognitively functional discourse markers and a relatively rare use of other markers. Native speakers are found to use a wider variety of discourse markers for different functions. Suggestions are made for using computer corpora in understanding EFL learners' language difficulties and helping them become more interactionally competent speakers.

Referred to as a 'media war,' there is a fierce competition for media discourse between different countries. Twenty four hour global news channels like Al Jazeera, France 24, RT, NHK World, China's CCTV and teleSUR emerged to offer their own perspectives and stance in the global society, and to face the monopolization and distorted information created by the hegemony of English news channels which have swayed international public opinions for a long time. As a tool of public diplomacy, the media's role in determining the image of the nation and winning the 'Hearts and Minds' of the international community is decisive, but it cannot be said that they all have a similar influence or play a positive role in media diplomacy. A global news channel, which is both a media diplomatic subject and a journalism organization, can be in the position of acting as a public relations organization or a propaganda agency for the government depending on the regime's attitude because most of global news channels receive support from the government. Sometimes it is difficult for these media to implement quality journalism because of financial difficulties. Media discourse also has limitations in that it is dependent upon changes in foreign policy of its own government. This study examines the current status of global news channels, the dilemma these channels are facing, and suggests some potential directions that can be taken by global news channels in order to become more effective. It is becoming increasingly important for all nations to respond to distorted information about their own countries, to appropriately identify various issues and changes in the international community and to convey their views and positions to the international community. For now, there is a lack of awareness about the importance of media diplomacy in Korea: There are many English-language media, but as yet no global news channel which could have an influence on the international stage. However, there seems to be some understanding about the need for the media to present the Korean alternative discourse to the senseless dependency on Western media. We hope that this study will be an opportunity to think in depth about the attitude of the Korean global media, whether existing global media or new global news channels, in order to help them become more effective in media diplomacy.

As the world becomes a global village, national conferences become more frequent, and the language of choice to mediate the exchange of information is English. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to find several methods to prepare L2 students for English communication at conferences. Various studies about discourse markers can be found in this study. Discourse markers are indicators of fluency in spoken language, and indicators of improvement from features of spoken English to more typical forms of formal writing. In this study the presentation styles of native speakers and Asian non-native speakers are compared, and the difference between efficient and non-efficient speakers at conferences are discussed. As a study of conference English teaching and learning method, this research targets suggestion and application of discourse markers for L2 speakers. As a result, the fact that discourse markers are very important in effective writing and conference English is found and accordingly we can see that developing the ability to use discourse markers in writing and speaking are essential for L2 speakers.

How is science advice integrated in environmental policymaking? This is an increasingly pertinent question that is being raised since the nuclear catastrophe of Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Global re-evaluation of energy policies and climate mitigation measures include discussions on how to better integrate science advice in policymaking, and at the same time keeping science independent from political influence. This paper addressed the policy discourse of setting up a national CO2 reduction target in Japanese policymaking between 2009 and 2012. The target proposed by the former DPJ government was turned down, and Japan lacked a clear strategy for long-term climate mitigation. The analysis provides explanations from a quantitative actor-network perspective. Centrality measures from social network analysis for policy actors in an environmental policy network of Japan were calculated to identify those actors that control the discourse. Data used for analysis comes from the Global Environmental Policy Actor Network 2 (GEPON 2) survey conducted in Japan (2012-13). Science advice in Japan was kept independent from political influence and was mostly excluded from policymaking. One of the two largest discourse coalitions in the environmental policy network promoted a higher CO2 reduction target for international negotiations but favored lowering the target after a new international agreement would have been set. This may explain why Japan struggled to commit to long-term mitigation strategies. Applying social network analysis to quantitatively calculate discourse coalitions was a feasible methodology for investigating "discursive power." But limited in discussing the "practice" (e.g. meetings, telephone, or email conversations) among the actors in discourse coalitions.

본 논문의 주요한 목적은 커뮤니케이션 관련 이슈인 전자상거래 거버넌스의 형성 과정에 대한 기존 문헌들을 검토하여 이들 연구의 이론적 한계들을 지적하고, 국제정치학과 정책학에서 최근 활발하게 제기되고 있는 구성주의(Constructivism)에 대한 이론적 논의에 의존하여 글로벌 거버넌스의 형성과정에 대한 보다 설명력 높은 대안적 접근법을 제안하는 데 있다. 이러한 접근은 기존 연구들의 합리주의에 기반한 행위자 중심의 접근과 국기중심주의가 노정하는 한계들을 극복할 수 있게 해준다. 구성주의적 접근은 국가 행위자들이 글로벌 거버넌스를 형성하기 위한 과정에서 구체적으로 어떠한 행동을 했는지에 초점을 맞추기 보다는, 문제시 되는 이슈들의 거버넌스가 어떠해야 하고 이러한 거버넌스가 어떻게 운영되어야 하는지에 대해서 국가적 및 비국가적 행위자들을 포함한 다양한 사회적 행위자들이 갖고 있는 관념에 주목한다. 또한 이들 행위자들이 이러한 관념에 근거해서 거버넌스 형성 과정에서 벌이는 담론적 실천과 이를 통해 그 이슈에 대해 사회적 행위자들이 갖는 관념의 수정과 변화에 중점을 둔다. 다시 말하면, 사회적 행위자들이 자신들의 관념을 간주관적으로 받아들여지는 지배적인 관념으로 만들기 위해 규칙형성과정에서 벌이는 담론적 경쟁과 이로 인한 관념의 변화에 주목함으로써 거버넌스 형성과정을 분석하는 것이다. 특히 본 논문에서 제기한 구성주의적 접근은 민간부문을 포함한 다양한 사회적 행위자들의 역할을 고려함으로써 다극화되고 탈중심화된 국제체제의 역동성을 글로벌 거버넌스 형성과정에 투사할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, we revise the well-known Centering Theory of anaphora resolution and propose the controlled Information Packaging Theory (for short, CIPT). Second, we suggest a solution to the resolution of the antecedents of pronouns within the framework of CIPT. For this purpose, we select a dialogue of hotel reservation as a domain-restricted discourse, and discourse, and discuss the characteristics of the distribution of pronouns. We suggest that we need to palce the Slot-Link element on the top of the forward centering list. We claim that we need to establish a constraint on conceptual compatibility. As for the pronouns in the global dialogue, we propose a constraint of discourse command.

This study utilizes social big data to investigate the factors influencing the awareness, attitude, and behavior toward vegan fashion consumption among global and Korean consumers. Social media posts containing the keyword "vegan fashion" were gathered, and meaningful discourse patterns were identified using semantic network analysis and sentiment analysis. The study revealed that diverse factors guide the purchase of vegan fashion products within global consumer groups, while among Korean consumers, the predominant discourse involved the concepts of veganism and ethics, indicating a heightened awareness of vegan fashion. The research then delved into the factors underpinning awareness (comprehension of animal exploitation, environmental concerns, and alternative materials), attitudes (both positive and negative), and behaviors (exploration, rejection, advocacy, purchase decisions, recommendations, utilization, and disposal). Global consumers placed great significance on product-related information, whereas Korean consumers prioritized ethical integrity and reasonable pricing. In addition, environmental issues stemming from synthetic fibers emerged as a significant factor influencing the awareness, attitude, and behavior regarding vegan fashion consumption. Further, this study confirmed the potential presence of cultural disparities influencing overall awareness, attitude, and behavior concerning the acceptance of vegan fashion, and offers insights into vegan fashion marketing strategies tailored to specific cultures, aiming to provide vegan fashion companies and brands with a deeper understanding of their consumer base.

이 논문은 냉전의 종식 이후 부각된 전지구적 수준의 책임 주장에 주목하여, 나토의 대표적 군사개입 사례인 보스니아 내전($1992{\sim}1995$)과 코소보 분쟁($1998{\sim}1999$) 과정에서 미국 엘리트 언론이 주장한 '전지구적 책임'의 정치적 성격을 분석한다. 미국 엘리트 언론이 주장한 전지구적 책임을 분석한 결과, 이들의 주장은 일반적으로 정부 정책과 국익에 호응하는 것으로 나타났다. 군사개입을 정당화한 전지구적 책임 주장은 한편으로는 미국의 '멜로 드라마적 국가 정체성'에 접합되었다. 다른 한편으로는 '기술전'을 지지하고 자국 군의 희생에 반대하는 국익과 국내적 책임 중심의 정책 의견과 맞물려 있었다. 미국 엘리트 언론의 대내외적 영향력을 고려할 때, 이들의 전지구적 책임 담론이 나토의 군사행동을 인도주의적 개입으로 이해하는 지배적인 지식의 형성에 기여했다고 평가할 수 있다. 전지구적 책임의 주장과 인식은 인류의 성숙과 인류애의 성장을 담아내는 상징적 프로젝트라는 점에서 긍정적인 움직임을 나타낸다. 그러나 나토의 군사개입을 정당화한 전지구적 책임 담론은 주권 불간섭주의 원칙과 유엔의 권위를 해체한다는 점에서 문제적이다. 미국 엘리트 언론이 주장한 전지구적 책임은 신세계 질서에서 지배 관계의 유지와 강화를 위하여, 능동적이고 창조적인 자아 형성과 정체성을 통한 개인적 조직적 수준의 전지구적 책임에 대한 자각과 실천을 포섭할 수 있다는 점에서 전지구적 민주주의에 부정적 함의를 지닌다. 따라서 본 연구자는 전지구적 수준의 책임 인식이 지니는 잠재성의 실현과 세계 평화를 위하여 전지구적 책임 주장의 구성 방식과 기능에 대해 보다 성찰적인 접근이 필요하다고 주장한다.

본 논문은 경제지리학의 글로벌 생산네트워크 담론을 태동기부터 현재의 GPN 2.0 이론화 단계까지 통시적으로 검토한다. 이 과정에서 2000년대 초반 글로벌 생산네트워크 논의의 형성 과정을 글로벌 상품/가치 사슬망의 개념적, 분석적 문제와 결부시켜 설명하고, 이후 논의의 확장과 경험적 연구의 축적을 통해 글로벌 생산네트워크가 세계화 경제, 초국적 기업, 지역발전 간의 밀접한 관계에 주목하는 담론과 실천의 틀로 자리잡게 된 점을 강조한다. 반면, 이론적 결여의 문제에 대한 비판이 꾸준히 제기되었고, 이에 대한 응답으로 최근 Yeung and Coe는 인과적 매커니즘의 추상화와 이와 관련된 글로벌 생산네트워크 조직 전략의 유형을 중심으로 GPN 2.0 이론을 제안했다. 이 결과, 글로벌 생산네트워크 담론은 이론화 결핍의 문제를 해결할 수 있게 되었고, 연구자는 내부 조직화, 통제적 관계, 동반자적 관계, 외부교섭 등 다양한 생산네트워크 조직 전략을 기업경쟁력 강화 요인 및 위험환경과 결부시켜 탐구할 수 있게 되었다. 그리고 글로벌 생산네트워크와 글로벌 상품/가치 사슬 논의 간의 차이는 더욱 분명해졌는데, 여기에는 외부교섭 개념의 역할이 무엇보다 중요하다. 외부교섭은 GPN 1.0에서 가치, 착근성, 권력의 분석 개념을 포괄하고 있는 네트워크 형태로 판단되며, 이것은 기업이나 산업별 거버넌스 차이에 초점이 맞춰진 사슬 담론의 한계를 초월하게 해 줄 것이다.
