This study proposes a method of recognizing postpositions and suffixes in Korean spoken language, using prosodic information. We detect grammatical boundaries automatically at first, by using prosodic information of the accentual phrase, and then we recognize grammatical function words by backward-tracking from the boundaries. The experiment employs 300 sentential speech data of 10 men's and 5 women's voice spoken in standard Korean, in which 1080 accentual phrases and 11 postpositions and suffixes are included. The result shows the recognition rate of postpositions in two cases. In one case in which only correctly detected boundaries are included, the recognition rate is 97.5%, and in the other case in which all detected boundaries are included, the recognition rate is 74.8%.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between conversational function and question type in mothers' utterances and their infant's language development. The subjects were 20 infants from 1;07 to 1;11 years of age in Yanji, China. Each child's spontaneous natural speech during interaction with his/her mother was videotaped for about 30 minutes. The children and their mother's spontaneous utterances were transcribed and coded for the number of type and token of word, grammatical morpheme conversational function and type of question in mother's language input to her child. The result showed that mothers used questions as the most frequent conversational function with their infants. The number of questions in conversational function in mothers' utterances positively correlated with the type of word, type of morpheme and grammatical morpheme in infants' utterance. However, there was no correlation between mothers' language input and infant early language development.

본 연구에서는 EPAM(Elementary Perceiver and Memorizer) Ⅳ를 사용하여 인공 문법이 사용된 암묵적 학습에서의 인간 수행을 모사하였다. 암묵 학습(implicit learning) 과제에서 참가자들은 인공 문법(rtificial grammar)을 사용해 만들어진 '문법적' 문자열과 무선적으로 만들어진 '비문법적' 문자열을 학습하였는데, 이 때 비문법적 문자열보다 문법적 문자열의 학습이 더 우수하였다. 또한 참가자들은 이전에 본 적이 없었던 새로운 문자열에 대해서도 그 문법성을 판단할 수 있었다. 단순 기억 시스템인 EPAM Ⅳ에 항목 내 군집화(within-item chunking) 기능을 추가하여 암묵 학습 과제에서의 인간수행을 모사한 결과, EPAM Ⅳ 또한 무선적인 문자열보다 문법적인 문자열을 보다 잘 학습하였고, 비문법적 문자열과 문법적 문자열을 구별할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 인공 문법을 사용한 암묵 학습 과제에서의 수행이 규칙 추상화보다는 군집화(chunking)에 근거한 재인 기억을 바탕으로 이루어짐을 시사한다.

본 연구는 -ly 부사의 역사적 발달, 즉 문법화 과정을 통해 영어 -ly 부사출현에 관한 연구에 목표를 둔다. 이원화된 (일차적 & 이차적) 문법화 관점에서 고대영어의 형용사화 접사 -lic이 중세영어시기에 부사화 접사 -ly로 변화한 것은 일차적 문법화이며 연속적으로 동사구부사인 태도부사가 문법적 자질인 양태성[+modal]과 시제자질[+tense]을 습득하여 TP 영역의 문장부사로 변화가 일어난 문법화 과정은 이차적 문법화라고 정의한다. 이차적 문법화란 어휘항목에 바로 문법화가 적용되는 것이 아니고 이미 문법화가 일어난 통사형태적 표지의 재분석이 일어나는 것이다([어휘범주 → 문법기능범주1 → 문법기능범주2]). 부사화의 과정에서 형용사화 접사 -lic이 부사화 접사 -ly로 범주변화가 일어나는 일차적 문법화과정(형용사 → 태도부사)을 거친 후 태도부사는 이차적 문법화의 과정을 거쳐 새로운 문법적 기능인 시제와 양태성을 갖게 되고 이러한 이차적 문법화(태도부사 → 문장부사)의 결과가 문장부사의 출현으로 나타났다.

English inversion constructions are not only hard for non-native speakers to learn but also difficult to teach mainly because of their intriguing grammatical and discourse properties. This paper addresses grammatical issues in learning or teaching the so-called 'predicate inversion (PI)' construction (e.g., Equally important in terms of forest depletion is the continuous logging of the forests). In particular, we chart the grammatical (distributional, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic) properties of the PI construction, and argue for adata-driven teaching for English grammar. To depart from the arm-chaired style of grammar teaching (relying on author-made simple sentences), our teaching method introduces a datadriven teaching. With total 25 university students in a grammar-related class, students together have analyzed the British Component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-GB), containing about one million words distributed across a variety of textual categories. We have identified total 290 PI sentences (206 from spoken and 87 from written texts). The preposed syntactic categories of the PI involve five main types: AdvP, PP, VP(ed/ing), NP, AP, and so, all of which function as the complement of the copula. In terms of discourse, we have observed, supporting Birner and Ward's (1998) observation that these preposed phrases represent more familiar information than the postposed subject. The corpus examples gave us the three possible types: The preposed element is discourse-old whereas the postposed one is discourse-new as in Putting wire mesh over a few bricks is a good idea. Both preposed and postposed elements can also be discourse new as in But a fly in the ointment is inflation. These two elements can also be discourse old as in Racing with him on the near-side is Rinus. The dominant occurrence of the PI in the spoken texts also supports the view that the balance (or scene-setting) in information structure is the main trigger for the use of the PI construction. After being exposed to the real data and in-depth syntactic as well as informationstructure analysis of the PI construction, it is proved that the class students have had a farmore clear understanding of the construction in question and have realized that grammar does not mean to live on by itself but tightly interacts with other important grammatical components such as information structure. The study directs us toward both a datadriven and interactive grammar teaching.

This study aims to describe a prosodic pattern on the Korean subjective particles with respect to their discourse function. 4 kinds of Korean subjective particles were mainly investigated with reference to sentential location, grammatical relations that precede or follow the word including subjective particles, and prosodic phrasing. F0 and energy were gradually diminished as the particles moved down to the sentential final position. 'Ga'particle, which has been potentially regarded as having a grammatical focusing function, looks like to show relatively higher F0 in sentential medial in discourse. At sentential medial position, when the words including 'ga, eun, and neun'particles were preceded by adverbials, the acoustic variables of particles tended to be diminished by some ratio in comparison with the mean value. The duration of particles might vary with respect to style variation and especially that it tended to diminish from 150 basic, 50 separate, and finally 50 discourse successively. And there's some specific phenomenon that prosodic phrasing itself was relatively easily taken place after 'eun' and 'neun' particles. Finally, I tried to catch the prosodic characteristics (which would be established as acoustic features) of inter-word position at which specific subjective particles were intervened. These acoustic features can be made up of the duration and F0 fluctuation activated in the successive 3 syllables in which word (or prosodic) boundary was located.

언어는 정보교환이라는 사회적 기능을 가지고 있다. 60년대 이래로 언어학자들의 관심이 언어의 정보전달 기능, 즉 어떠한 의미가 어떤 형식을 통하여 어떻게 전달되는가 하는, 의미, 형식, 기능의 관계에 점차 집중되게 되었다. 이러한 관계는 문장분석보다는 담화분석을 통하여 더욱 명백하게 파악된다. 본 연구는 한국 설화문에서 사용되는 화제표현의 방법과 표현된 화제의 연속성을 측정함으로 효율적인 정보교환의 방법을 살펴보았다. 분석된 문법구조들은 영대용, 인칭대명사, 지시대명사, 고유대명사, 지시사 뒤에 오는 명사, 소유격을 따르는 명사, 한정적 명사 그리고 비한정적 명사, 모두 8가지이다. 본 연구의 결과를 다음과 같이 요약할수 있다. 첫째, 한국 설화문에서 '인간임'(humanness)이 가장 강한 화제의 연속성을 나타낸다. 인간지시 논항들은 주로 행위자 또는 경엄자를 나타내기 때문에 절이난 담화의 화제역학을 한다. 둘째, 이들 문법구조들은 각기 다른 화제표현의 연속성 정도를 나타낸다. 연속성 정도가 높은 구조일수록 표현이 간단하며, 연속성의 정도가 낮을수록 표현이 복잡하다. 셋째, 화제표현의 연속성은 구조들의 통사적 특성 이외에 사회적문화적 요인들과 작가의 화용상의 목적 등에 좌우되기도 한다. 마지막으로, 실질적인 정보교환의 방법을 파악하기 위하여, 구어체와 문어체 담화문을 비교분석하여 화제표현의 효율적 방법을 고찰할 것을 제의한다.

This paper investigates the idiosyncratic understanding of universal quantifiers such as every, each or all by young children at the ages of 4 to 7, and argues that the phenomenon is explicable in terms of the maturation of both the cognitive system and the linguistic system. Evidence for this dual explanation comes from the fact that the visual input, a picture, plays a key role in determining the children’s conceptual representation, suggesting the need for the central integration of visual and linguistic elements; and from the fact that a quantifier in the linguistic input has an intrinsic property, i.e. a <+focus> feature. I have tried to explain the nature of the cognitive factors in terms of the function of the central system, suggesting a modified form of Smith & Tsimpli’s (1995) version of Fodor’s (1983) modularity hypothesis. Conceptual representations of two kinds are in competition with each other and they are integrated into a neutral LOT (Language of Thought) representation at some point . In the process of this integration, the representations from the visual input predominate over those from the auditory input, though the quantize. (treated as new information provided by the latter) is salient in the final representations. When visual conceptual representations predominate over purely linguistic ones, quantifier spreading errors occur. By contrast, when the relevant grammatical knowledge has developed sufficiently to counteract the conceptual representations, this peculiar behaviour by children should disappear. It is argued that children have to learn two kinds of grammatical fact with regard to universal quantification: (i) they have to learn the status of the quantifier as a functional head of DP so that it has to be positioned inside DP; and (ii) they have to learn the Left-Branch Condition which specifies that movement of an element in the left-branch position is possible only by pied-piping the entire phrase.

프랑스어의 de와 같은 전치사는 의미를 가지고 있지 않으며 문법적 기능만 가지고 있을 뿐이라는 기존 연구의 입장에 대한 의구심에서 시작된 이 연구는 전치사 de의 쓰임에 대한 일반적인 기술을 분류하여 정리하고, 그 쓰임들을 '출발점을 표현', '특성을 부여', '문법 기능을 수행'이라는 세 개의 부류로 나누어 인지언어학의 관점에서 분석하였다. 출발점을 표현하는 경우에는 공간의 영역과 시간의 영역에서 탄도체가 출발점을 떠나 도착점을 향하는 여정의 개념이 상정되어 있기 때문에 동태적 개념을 갖는다. 반면에, 특성을 부여하는 전치사 de의 보어는 어떤 특정 부류에 대하여 그 부류의 특징을 규정하는 속성을 부여함으로써 해당 특정 부류의 외연을 한정한다. 이 보어는 한정된 부류와 연결된 것으로 인식됨으로써 해당 부류와 공존하는 것으로 여겨지므로 전치사 de가 이 경우에는 정태적 개념을 갖는다. 이러한 동태적 개념과 정태적 개념이 모두 퇴색되고 극도로 문법화가 되어 내재적 관계의 개념만 있는 경우가 전치사 de에 의해 동사 원형이 보어로 도입되는 경우이다.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the acoustic characteristics of the Korean accusative marker {-lil} which functions as a discourse marker in discourse. Generally, in written texts or read speeches, it is seldom omitted and it certainly seems to serve a grammatical function. But in ordinary discourse, speakers do not use it in many cases. That is, the environments speakers use {-lil} differ from those they do not. According to the semantic interpretations, {-lil} functions as a pragmatic factor and adds to the meaning of the object in an utterance. In this paper, by comparing the acoustic characteristics of the utterances that contain the marker {-lil} with those of utterances that do not, especially based on Korean Intonational Phonology, we will demonstrate that the Korean accusative marker {-lil} shows clearly the acoustic characteristics related to the pragmatic factors which reflect speakers' special intention.
