This paper investigates the nature of Japanese argument cluster (Steedman 2000b). Based on Combinatory Categorial Grammar, a type-raising analysis of case particles which captures some aspects of the information structure in Japanese is discussed, including contrastive interpretation of coordination, wh-constructions, and some theme and rheme-related grammatical phenomena. These observations offer further support for the study of syntax, semantics, and phonology interface and the earlier analysis of English information structure.

The sentences with the same surface word order may be realized with the pragmatically different meanings, depending on the contexts under which they could appear. Semantically, their meaning differences have been explained in terms of the different information structures (Steedman 2000), whereas prosodically, they can be explained in terms of the different compositions of intonational components which make their own semantic contributions (Pierrehumbert and Hirschberg 1990). In other words, the different intonation realizations of the sentences with the same word order reflect the different information structures. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the information structure and the intonational meaning by way of analysing the production of the sentences with ambiguous scopes of the English focus particle 'only'. In contrast to the previous quantitative approaches to the scopes of the focus particle 'only', two independent levels of information structure (Steedman 2000)-theme/rheme, and focus/ background-make it possible to consistently explain the intonational phenomena.

과학 잡지가 과학자와 일반인 사이의 접점 역할을 수행하며 과학의 대중화에 기여할 수 있게 해 주는 기제를 과학 잡지 텍스트의 언어적 특성에서 찾기 위하여 과학 동아에 수록된 지구과학 관련 기사 12편을 선정하였다. 선정된 과학 잡지 텍스트의 언어적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 레지스터 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 1) 기자가 쓴 글은 과학자의 사유와 대화를 표현하는 인식적 술어와 발화적 술어의 비율이 높았다. 2) 기자의 글에는 문장의 주체가 사람으로 드러나는 비율이 높지만 과학자의 글에는 사람은 거의 드러나지 않으며 주체가 생략된 경우도 많았다. 3) 과학자의 글은 대부분 평서형 서법을 사용하지만, 기자가 쓴 글에서는 의문형과 청유형 서법, 생략 등의 비평서형 문장이 많았다. 4) 문장 속에 포함된 절의 밀도는 기자의 글이나 과학자의 글 모두 비슷하였다. 5) 정보의 구조 또한, 기자의 글은 단순한 정보의 발전 형태를 띠었고, 과학자의 글은 그에 비해 다소 복잡한 정보 구조를 나타내었다. 과학 잡지 텍스트의 언어적 특징을 통해 과학 잡지는 기자의 글을 통해 어려운 과학 내용을 쉽고 친숙한 텍스트로 제시함으로써 과학의 대중화에 기여할 뿐 아니라, 과학자가 쓴 순화된 과학 텍스트를 통해 일반인들을 과학의 언어라는 과학의 문화에 친숙하게 함으로써 과학의 대중화에 기여하게 됨을 밝혀 내었다.

Interior design has diverse functions and roles according to recent changes in life and cultural style. As the meaning of space varies, the furniture as another element of the space should also be planned and included in the beginning of the project to accomplish its functional role on the finished space and not only be placed. The relationship between Interior space and furniture should be studied and understood at the same realm because they have a complementary relationship. The final destination of design, which is very challenging to accommodate people, the designer needs to approach to the interior space and furniture in a cognitive view. The study of Semiotics views in a knowledgeable and epistemological way every element as a sign and by the relationship of their characters it makes to understand the structure of the signs. Charles Sanders Peirce, a leader of Semiotics in USA, classified the structure of Sign into Representamen, Object and Interpretant to complete the theory which could systematically describe physical characteristic and function of the Sign and its significance in practical use. Peirce stated that all nine types of Sign would be generated if each structure of Sign in combined with three categories of Sign such as Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness. In this study, based on Peirce's nine types of Sign, the interrelationship between space and furniture in interior design was investigated with examples in Living Space, Office Space, and Commercial Space, respectively. In the category of Representamen, which can be classified into Qualisign, Sinsign, and Legisign, it is a feature of Living Space to be expressed in harmonized and stabilized ways. In Office Space vertical/horizontal elements and open expression are differently showed depending on fields. And splendid and interesting expressions are showed in Commercial Space. In the category of Object, which can be classified into Icon, Index, and Symbol, each function of Sign has distinctly been showed as Symbol in Living Space, Index in Office Space, and Icon in Commercial Space, respectively. In the category of Interpretant, which can be classified into Rheme, Dicisign, and Argument, it was found that space image of Living Space is transferred to human being, Office Space regulates human bing, and Commercial Space binds human being with the space. In conclusion the function of the interior space and the furniture could be explained in another way with re-interpretation of interrelationship among interior space elements in the concept of Semiotics. It is expected that interpretation with Semiotics in interior design will grow to new theory of design.
