The purpose of this paper is to show the internal structure of the socalled sentential subject constructions in English. The constructions that we examine in this paper are such as It seems that John failed in the syntax exam vs. *That John failed in the syntax exam seems and It really stinks that the Giants lost the World Series vs. That the Giants lost the World Series really stinks. As seen above, the English verb seem does not tolerate the sentential subject. This is in sharp contrast to other English verbs such as suck, blow, bite, and stink, which do allow the sentential subject. There are several issues regarding these constructions. First, where is the sentential subject located? Second, is the sentential subject assigned structural Case? Third, is the sentential subject extraposed or does it remain in its base-generated complement position? Fourth, is the sentential subject a base-generated topic in the specifier position of CP, as Arlenga (2005) claims? In this paper, we argue that sentential subjects are base-generated in the specifier of the verbal phrase in case of stink-type verbs, while they are licensed as a complement to verbs like seem. We also argue that a sentential subject can be raised in the seem-type verbal constructions, if it were part of the complement small clause.

The type of a given sentence indicates the speaker's attitude towards the listener and is usually determined by its final endings and punctuation marks. However, some 6na1 endings are used in several types of sentences, which means that we cannot identify the sentential type by considering only the final endings and punctuation marks. In this paper, we propose methods of finding some other linguistic clues for indentifying the sentential type with a morphological analysis. We also propose to use these methods to implement a system that automatically classifies sentences in Korean according to their sentential types.

The interaction of emotion is an important factor in Human-Robot Interaction(HRI). This requires a contextual appraisal of emotion extracting the emotional information according to the events happened from past to present. In this paper an emotion appraisal system based on the cognitive context is presented. Firstly, a conventional emotion appraisal model is simplified to model a contextual emotion appraisal which defines the types of emotion appraisal, the target of the emotion induced from analyzing emotional verbs, and the transition of emotions in the context. We employ a language based cognitive system and its sentential memory and object descriptor to define the type and target of emotion and to evaluate the emotion varying with the process of time with the a priori emotional evaluation of targets. In a experimentation, we simulate the proposed emotion appraisal system with a scenario and show the feasibility of the system to HRI.

This paper attempts to provide an alternative analysis involving categorical issues related to English gerunds. Especially, this paper rejects Maulof's approach that creates a new syntactic category gerund by mixing nominal and verbal categories. This paper identifies two syntactic structures in English gerunds: nominal gerunds and verbal gerunds. This distinction is based on syntactic and semantic characteristics of each type and is intended to account for the external distribution and endocentricity of the construction. Treating verbal gerunds syntactically as verbal categories, this paper proposes that English verbal gerunds act like other verbal categories such as infinitives whereas nominal gerunds behaves much like derived nominals. This paper proposes a few lexical rules that can take care of the two types of gerunds. The proposal can be extended to prepositional complements as well as sentential subject positions. This proposal not only resolves the issues involving distributional properties of the gerund construction but also captures syntactic parallelism observable between gerunds and other verbal constructions in English.

본 논문의 목적은 영어 관계절의 의미를 분석하여 컴퓨터의 자연언어 처리 및 기계번역에 사용될 수 있는 중간언어(interlanguage)형식으로 의미표시(semantic representation)하려는 것이다.이를 위하여 최근에 미국의 John.F.Sowa를 중심으로 개발되고 있는 개념구조론(Conceptual Structure Theory)에서의 개념도식(conceptual graph)을 이용하였다.우선 개념구조론을 고찰한 후, 영어 관계절을 제한적 의미와 비제한적 의미에 따라 다르게 기술하였는데,제한적 관계절은-표현을 이용하고,비제한 관계절은 동격의 의미와 부사적 의미,그리고 논평적 의미에 따라 다르게 기술하였다.

본 연구는 정상 및 불안 집단 대학생을 대상으로 하나 또는 그 이상의 부정적 어휘를 포함하는 서술어의 의미추론 과정에서 정서유형 및 부정어휘 출현의 정도가 과제처리 속도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 정서 3유형, 자극 2유형 그리고 부정어휘 횟수 3유형을 피험자 내 변인으로, 벡(Beck) 불안척도로 구분된 불안수준을 피험자 간 변인으로 혼합반복측정 설계를 적용하여 피험자 반응시간에 대해 분석한 결과, 정서유형과 자극의 종류 그리고 부정어휘 횟수에 대한 주효과를 확인하였으며, 불안수준 x 부정어 횟수에서 상호작용이 발견되었다. 긍정적 정서에 비해 부정적 정서에서, 비언어 자극보다는 언어 자극 환경에서 과제처리에 더 효율적이었지만, 부정어휘 변인에서는 그 횟수의 증가가 정상집단의 신속한 반응과 불안집단의 지연된 반응으로 분기되면서 부정어휘처리 반응시간의 지체로 나타났다. 또한 유입 정서유형 및 자극의 종류와 상관없이 불안수준은 과제처리 속도를 지연시키는 요인으로 확인되었다. 아울러 추후 연구를 위한 함의와 한계를 논의하였다.
