  • 결혼이민자들을 대상으로 이들의 언어능력과 삶의 질 수준을 파악하고 언어능력이 가족관계, 사회관계의 경로를 통해 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 수도권 지역의 다문화 결혼이민자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 결혼이주민의 가족관계와 사회관계, 삶의 질에 대한 인식이 보통 이상이었으며, 한국어능력은 보통수준으로 인식하였다. 둘째, 한국어능력이 가족관계, 사회관계를 거쳐 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 모든 경로가 유의하였다. 셋째, 고학력, 고소득, 자발만남 결혼이민자집단이 한국어능력, 가족관계, 삶의 질에 대한 인식이 상대적으로 높았다. 넷째, 고학력 및 저학력 집단, 고소득 및 저소득 집단, 자발만남 및 중개만남 집단의 삶의 질에 언어능력이 미치는 경로는 상이하였으나 전체적으로 가족관계의 역할이 언어능력보다 크게 나타났다.

  • 춈스키의 언어 이론에 따르면, 인간은 무한한 수의 어법에 맞는 문장을 말하고 이해할 수 있다. 언어 창조성이라고 하는 이러한 능력은 이상화된 언어 능력을 전제한다. 사람들이 실제로 언어를 사용하여 의사 소통을 할 때는 단기 기억이나 주의 집중이라는 인지 능력의 한계로 인해 이러한 창조성에 많은 제약이 따른다. 하지만 언어의 창조성은 이러한 언어 실행 능력과는 관계없는 순수 언어 능력을 고려할 때 이해된다고 춈스키는 주장한다. 충분한 시간과 기억 능력이 보장된다면, 인간 언어능력이 제약될 이유가 없다. 언어 창조성은 마치 덧셈을 하는 인간의 능력과 비교된다. 국민학교 산수를 공부한 학생은 덧셈을 할 수 있다. 덧셈 능력이 인간의 마음에 자리를 잡으면 어떤 숫자를 놓고도 덧셈을 할 수 있다. 물론 실제로 엄청난 숫자를 덧셈하는 데는 문제가 많다. 하지만 충분한 시간과 연필과 종이가 있다면 원칙상 어떤 숫자를 놓고도 덧셈을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 필자는 이러한 언어 능력이 필요 이상 이상화되었음을 중앙 삽입형 문장들을 고찰함으로써 지적하고자 한다. 중앙 삽입형 문장 (center embedded sentences) 또는 양파 문장 (onion sentences) 들은 이상화된 언어능력의 측면에서는 문법적일지 모르지만 실제로 사람들은 이 문장들을 거의 사용하고 있지 않으며 거의 이해하고 있지도 않는 문장들이다. 그 이유는, 춈스키에 의하면, 비언어적 인지 능력의 제약 때문이다. 기억력이나 주의 집중력이 모자라서 그런 문장을 잘 쓰지 않지만 그런 조건이 따라 주면 그런 문장들이 무엇을 뜻하는 지 다 알 수 있다는 것이다. 따라서 이 문법적인 문장을 사용하지 않는다는 것이 언어 창조성에 대한도전이 될 수 없다고 그는 주장한다. 필자는 이 문장들이 단순한 단기 기억이나 주의 집중의 문제가 아니라 실제로 인간 언어 능력의 제약을 보여 줄 수 있는 인지적 조건들을 보여 주고 있다고 생각한다. 따라서 인간의 언어 능력이 무한수의 문장을 구성하고 이해할 수 있다는 주장은 언어 능력의 인지적 제약을 고려하지 못한 주장이다.

  • This study investigates relationships between TOPIK ratings and measures of grammaticality judgement competence in the acquisition of Korean as a second language. Data were collected on the linguistic abilities of learners' at 3 to 6 on the TOPIK scale, focusing on perception in grammar-mostly morphology and syntax, some lexis, and a few of collocation. The results show that (i) proficiency and grammaticality judgement competence show high correlation, (ii) individual accuracy scores correlate strongly with levels on the TOPIK proficiency scale on most linguistic features in the test, and (iii) Japanese speakers outperform Chinese speakers at the same levels of proficiency on most linguistic features. The findings indicate that global proficiency scales like the TOPIK can be deconstructed using grammaticality judgement test that provides detailed measures of learners' control of linguistic features.

  • This paper takes issue with the idea of language as a 'serial-time structure' as opposed to the 'real-time event' of speech, an idea entrenched in Chomskyan model of linguistic theory. The discussion centers around the leitmotif question: Is language constructed entirely from a finite set of apriori discrete symbol types, as the 'competence vs performance' dichotomy implies\ulcorner A set of linguistic patterns examined in this study, largely with regard to phonological considerations, points to the evidence to the contrary. That is, while the patterns may be said to be linguistically distinct, they are not discretely, different, i.e. not different enough to be reliably differentiated. It is demonstrated that much of current research in phonology, including the most recent Optimality Theory, is misdirected in that it falsely presupposes a discrete universal phonetic inventory. The main thrust of the present study is that there is no sharp boundary between 'competence' defined as the formal, symbolic, discrete time domain of language and human cognition on the one hand and 'performance' as the continuous, fuzzy, real-time domain of human physiology on the other.

  • The purpose of this paper is to discuss recent notions of communicative competence, especially as it is presented in Korean EFL education. Communicative competence has been modified and reinterpreted several times since the term was introduced by Hymes (1970). Paulston (1974) and Savignon (1983) focus on social interaction while Canale and Swain (1980) offer four categories of communicative competence: grammatical competence, discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence, and strategic competence. In addition, Tarone and Yule (1989) can be viewed as a systematic and comprehensive concept as well as a multi-dimensional mode (Bachman, 1990). Brown (2000) presents linguistic and functional aspects and Savignon's (1983) sociolinguistic competence has been transformed into sociocultural competence (Savignon, 2001). This study shows which aspects of Korean EFL education have been changed' and what needs to be accomplished for enhancing student's communicative competence.

  • This study was an attempt to present an appropriate way of interpreting L2 learners' linguistic behavior within Universal Grammar (UG) framework. Based on the Korean EFL adult learners' performance on the Subjacency violation sentences, the study suggested that the EFL learners are able to acquire subtle knowledge of target grammar and their linguistic behavior should be interpreted with the most recent version of UG theory, the Minimalist Program (MP) notion. The MP notion seems more plausible to accommodate incomplete L2 grammar while acknowledging UG-constrained interlanguage which the previous version, Principles and Parameters (P&P) approach, could not explain very well. The study observed no age-effects among the Korean EFL learners in their linguistic competence measured by the performance on the UG-constraint violation sentences. Having suggested that the MP notion can be a more reasonable tool to explain the EFL learners' linguistic behavior, the study introduced comprehensive hypotheses such as Constructionist Model (CM) and the Ontogeny Phylogeny Model (OPM).

  • The purpose of the study was to prove the effect of the "Picture Book Reading Program for Mothers" developed to enhance the language competence of married immigrant women and their children. Twenty immigrant mothers with three-year-olds were recruited, and they participated in an 8-week-Picture Book Reading Program developed by the reseacher. The REVT and U-TAP were used to measure linguistic abilities for mothers while PRES was used to measure their children's linguistic abilities. Lee(2004)'s "Effect of dialogic picture book reading teacher training program for toddlers" was used to measure the mother's and children's verbal and non-verbal behaviors. The results of the study were as follows: First, by participating in the PBRPM, the mother's linguistic ability as well as children's vocabulary and receptive language have increased. Second, by participating in the PBRPM in terms of mother-child interaction, mother's verbal behaviors to children (i.e. attention and inquiring) and children's verbal behaviors(i.e. responding and imitation) have increased. In conclusion, "PBRPM" for married immigrant women and their children proved to be effective in enhancing the language competence and verbal interactions between married immigrant women and their children.

  • Using literary materials as resources for English learning rather than an object of literary study can be a genuine tool for the students to learn English in the form of oral and written communication. This case study treated the applications of a whole text to the overall course divided into pre-reading activities, while-reading activities, and post-reading activities and the applications of some partial passages extracted from various texts to teaching objectives with many levels of difficulty. This study found that literary texts could be good materials to teach the target language in EFL setting. The English-speaking students with little linguistic competence as a foreign language may be limited in learning English at first, but soon they can accelerate their linguistic competence by reinforcing the literary competence through the literary texts. To achieve effectively a desired goal through the use of literary texts as resources for language development several concrete techniques should be introduced: teacher-guided question strategies laying a central emphasis on the text itself, a problem-solving ability through student-centered activities, process-based and open-ended activities should be presented in a variety of ways using many appropriate activities according to teaching procedure with a careful selection of the texts.

  • This paper presents methodological and theoretical principles for constructing a machine thanslation system between Korean and Japanese. We focus our discussion on the real time computing problem of the machine translation system. This problem is characterized in the time and space complexity during the machine translation. The NARA system has the real time computing algorithm which is based on a mathematical model integrating the linguistic competence and the linguistic performance of both languages, with consequence that the system NARA has also the functional characteristic : the two-way translation mechanism.
