The objective of this study was to investigate the effects in auditory performance and vocal development of Onomatopoeia and Mimetic Word Productive Training Program in prelingually deafened children with cochlear implantation. The effects were measured with Lip-profile (Listening progress profile: LiP), the number of utterances, vocal developmental level and phonetic inventory. Subjects were four children with cochlear implants who were able to detect speech sounds and environmental sounds. The Onomatopoeia and Mimetic word Productive Training Program was made up of 3 steps with 24 Onomatopoeia and Mimetic words. This study was pre and post design. The results of the study were as follows: First, after Onomatopoeia and Mimetic word Productive Training Program was treated, LiP score was significantly higher. Second, after this program was treated, the number of utterances and emergence of both canonical and postcanonical utterances were increased. Emergence of vowel and consonant Features were increased and diversified. In conclusion, Onomatopoeia and Mimetic Word Productive Training Program appeared to facilitate efficient auditory performance and vocal development.

Nowadays, computer-mediated communications such as chatting and e-mail are widely used in younger generation. It has been known that the communicating words used by on-line users (so-called netizens) are quite different from those used by ordinary people. That is, the words are generally characterized by shortened, mimetic and onomatopoeic words, and the netizens also use various types of emoticon expressed like signs or symbols. This can cause some orthographic as well as cultural problems. This paper investigates some statistical data in PC-based communications, analyzes the general characteristics, and provides some explanations.

Based on the previous analysis by Wanghongjun(2008), this paper applies Optimality Theory (OT) to the field of partial reduplication in Korea to increase its scientific validity. Toward this end, I propose an alternative analysis of Korean partial reduplication, applied as a single process of prefixation. Reduplicated words by prefixation are divided into two types: with a heavy syllable of the stem, and another with the stem. The two types of partial reduplication are closely related by the sound features. In addition, I discussed Chinese partial reduplication from a prefixation perspective within the framework of OT and performed contrastive analysis of Korean and Standard Chinese processes of reduplication by focusing on constrained rankings. As a result, the alternative analysis showed a systematic relationship among the reduplicated words in Korean and Standard Chinese. Lastly, I explained that the coronal /t/ and liquid /l/ have a special functional hierarchy in both languages. This study can be re-explained based on the framework of OT according to a few major constraints, involving MAX-BR, MAX-IO. Their rankings show the adequacy of analysis.

Media consumers in the context of the Internet and digital media are using the same content to a variety of platforms. As such, the content of various genres is converted to the form of a new content through the process of fusion, combination, transformation, differentiation, reproduction, etc on the basis of digital media. That is referred to as trans-media. In order to create the successful content in trans-media era, it requires the work of Edi-curation. Edi-curation work is the act of editing and adding meaning to the curation work of curators. In that sense, this paper analyzed the definition and meaning for Edi-curation of publishing and comic(webtoon) content in trans-media era. Edi-curation process induces the changing role of consumers and producers of content in the digital media experience. In process of Edi-curation, consumers(producers) will soon lead to a media producer(consumer), namely proconsumer / produser. Diversification of digital platforms and devices, digital 1 person (or SNS) appeared in the media, etc. are also required to Edi-curation of content and comic(webtoon) published in a variety of ways. Depending on the intention of media producers (or consumers), content through the process of replication, montage, disassembly, dismantling, hypertext, compression, and reconstruction births to new content. The work of Edi-curation has the significance that it affects the way the media producers work in creative process, as well as the reading content of the media consumers. In the publishing content, Edi-curation work is the logicality destruction of a chapter or a paragraph, a sentence of colloquialisms, card news, the deformation of the utilization of video and media content. Meanwhile in the comic(webtoon) content, we mention the destruction of cut(frame), the various modifications of speech bubbles, onomatopoeia, and mimetic word.
