This study offered lexical knowledge acquisition model of unsupervised learning method in order to overcome limitation of lexical knowledge hand building manual of supervised learning method for research of natural language processing. The offered model obtains the lexical knowledge from the lexical entry which was given by inputting through the process of vectorization, clustering, lexical knowledge acquisition automatically. In the process of obtaining the lexical knowledge acquisition of model, some parts of lexical knowledge dictionary which changes in the number of lexical knowledge and characteristics of lexical knowledge appeared by parameter changes were shown. The experimental results show that is possibility of automatic building of Machine-readable dictionary, because observed to the number of lexical class information cluster collected constant. also building of lexical ditionary including left-morphosyntactic information and right-morphosyntactic information is reflected korean characteristic.

English floating quantifiers (FQ) are both limited and complex in the sense that they are introduced by a limited set of words, all, both, and each, and display free distributional possibilities. This paper provides a non-movement approach to the syntax of English floating quantifier constructions. The non-movement analysis we develop here is different from stranding movement analyses in that all the FQs are base-generated while the linkage with their antecedent refers to grammatical features such as SUBJ and PRD. The analysis avoids the postulation of abstract levels as well as empty elements in capturing the flexibility of English FQ constructions, making the grammar of English simpler.

We introduce a Korean speech recognition platform (ECHOS) developed for education and research Purposes. ECHOS lowers the entry barrier to speech recognition research and can be used as a reference engine by providing elementary speech recognition modules. It has an easy simple object-oriented architecture, implemented in the C++ language with the standard template library. The input of the ECHOS is digital speech data sampled at 8 or 16 kHz. Its output is the 1-best recognition result. N-best recognition results, and a word graph. The recognition engine is composed of MFCC/PLP feature extraction, HMM-based acoustic modeling, n-gram language modeling, finite state network (FSN)- and lexical tree-based search algorithms. It can handle various tasks from isolated word recognition to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. We compare the performance of ECHOS and hidden Markov model toolkit (HTK) for validation. In an FSN-based task. ECHOS shows similar word accuracy while the recognition time is doubled because of object-oriented implementation. For a 8000-word continuous speech recognition task, using the lexical tree search algorithm different from the algorithm used in HTK, it increases the word error rate by $40\%$ relatively but reduces the recognition time to half.
