The product-user interface for consumer electronic products became complex due to the increased variety of functions corresponding to consumer needs. In this study, three types fo design improvement of the menu interface for a video cassette recorder is studied. Three modifications to an existing menu interface was designed using the semantic, the syntactic and the lexical design factors. A series of the validation experiments was performed to test the effect of the three types of task modifications. The results showed that performance time, number of errors and learning effect were improved for all task modification. It also showed that the performance improvement effect of the semantic factors was 8.8%, that of the syntactic factors was 5.9% and that of the lexical factors was 5.6% respectively. It was found out that the performance improvement effect of the semantic design factors were relatively more significant than the syntactic and the lexical design factors.

This study investigates the effect of pitch range reset in Korean listeners' processing of syntactically ambiguous participle structures. Unlike Japanese and English,in Korean, the downtrend or the reset of pitch range does not consistently differentiate Accentual Phrases (AP), a lower level of phrasing, from Intonational Phrases (IP), a higher level of phrasing. Therefore, we explore Korean listeners' comprehension patterns for syntactically ambiguous speech strings varying in 1) the relative height of F0 peaks across prosodic units, and 2) the types of prosodic phrasing, to see whether pitch range reset informs the recovery of syntactic structure even though it is not reflected in the intonational hierarchy in Korean. The results show that the hierarchical level of prosodic phrasing affects the parsing pattern of syntactic ambiguity. The pitch range reset also cued the location of syntactic boundaries, but this effect was confined to phrases across AP.

In this study, the prosodic disambiguation of the syntactic attachment differences was investigated in relation to the effect of lexical bias. Speech materials were composed of N1-conj-N2-PP phrases such as "walkers and runners with dogs." The results show that the use of durational pattern is dominant over the pitch pattern to differentiate the attachment differences. The characteristic pitch contour was the rise and fall over N1 and N2 in the high attachment. The pitch contour in the low attachment was the rise and fall over N2 and N3 although the frequency of such patterns was lower for the low attachment case. For the durational pattern, the lengthening in the N2 region plays a significant role in the disambiguation of the syntactic attachments. The interaction between the lexical bias and the syntactic attachment was not statistically significant in the duration data.

The 121 five-year-old Korean subjects of this study were divided in 3 groups based on their experience in learning a foreign language (English). A battery of tests was administered to measure spoken and written language ability and the 3 metalinguistic domains of phonological, semantic, and syntactic awareness. Spoken language ability was positively correlated with semantic and syntactic awareness. The relative importance of each metalinguistic domain varied with level of written language development. Phonological awareness was the only predictor of decoding. Syntactic awareness and phonological awareness were significant variables in sentence comprehension. Metalinguistic ability was a better predictor of written language development than spoken language ability. Foreign language learning experience had an effect on syntactic awareness: low experience was superior to no experience, but high experience was not superior to low experience.

The majority of research on Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) programs has focused primarily on Grammarly, whereas QuillBot and its use in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms remains limitedly explored. This study examined the effectiveness of using QuillBot on the writing quality of college students. A total of 26 participants took pre- and post-writing tests, and four analytical tools were applied to assess their writing quality in terms of syntactic complexity, lexical diversity, lexical richness, and readability. Results of the syntactic complexity analysis across the four indices demonstrates that the syntactic complexity of EFL writing increased significantly, and substantial differences were observed in lexical richness and readability. These results suggest that QuillBot can compensate for the drawbacks of Grammarly and assist EFL writers in improving their overall writing quality.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of syntactic complexity (sentence length and sentence structure) on sentence repetition performance and intelligibility between specific language impairment (SLI) and normal children. Thirteen SLI children and twenty-six normal children, matched by 3 years of language, participated in this study. The sentence repetition performance of the subjects were analyzed based on the sentence length (3-word simple sentences and 5-word simple sentences) and sentence structure (5-word simple sentences, 5-word conjoined complex sentences, and 5-word embedded complex sentences). The results of this study indicated the sentence structure influenced sentence repetition performance and intelligibility of SLI children only. The implication of these findings were discussed.

The primary aim of this paper is to analyze the resultative adjunct clause, i.e., (thus/thereby/hence) ~ing participle and provide explicit syntactic, semantic and sociolinguistic explanation on the question what causes the cause-focused causal construction with resultative (thus/thereby/hence) ~ing participle in English. What comes first is either cause or effect clause. This study explores the recent style shift of causal constructions from the effect-focused pattern to the cause-focused pattern. In this study, we argue that the increasing number of the cause-focused main clause with a resultative ~ing participle clause shows the process of the style evolution improving speech/wring style in many respects including syntactic simplification, clarification of the sentence meaning with impact on the focused clauses, and improvement of the flow of speech/writing. The style shift found in the English resultative adjunct clauses, i.e., (thus/hence/thereby) ~ing participle constructions prove to be the style evolution from syntactic, semantic and sociolinguistic point of views.

This longitudinal study analyzed syntactic development (Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency; CAF) of six L2 Korean learners in a natural learning context. The learners recalled the stories of a short animated video through speaking and writing every 3 months, from month 0 to 15. The learners' responses were analyzed for a series of CAF measures and their cognitive, psychological, and social variables were investigated. The results showed that (i) L2 Korean learners' speaking and writing in various time periods showed significant differences in spoken and written accuracy, and complexity; (ii) the correlation between spoken and written complexity, spoken and written accuracy, as well as spoken and written fluency were significant, and (iii) the regression analysis showed that learners' cognitive, social, and psychological variables have significant effect on the L2 Korean syntactic development. The current study reports that L2 Korean learners engaged in self-learning in a natural learning environment without formal instruction made significant syntactic development.

Prasad et al.는 사전학습(pre-trained)한 신경망 L1 글로다바(Gulordava) 언어모델을 여러 유형의 영어 관계절과 등위절 문장들로 적응 학습(adaptation learning)시켜 문장 간 유사성(sentence similarity)을 평가할 수 있는 통사 프라이밍(syntactic priming)-기반 프로빙 방법((probing method)을 제안했다. 본 논문에서는 한국인 영어학습자가 배우는 영어 자료를 바탕으로 훈련된 L2 LSTM 신경망 언어 모델의 영어 관계절 혹은 등위절 구조의 문장들에 대한 임베딩 표현 방식을 평가하기 위하여 프로빙 방법을 적용한다. 프로빙 실험은 사전 학습한 LSTM 언어 모델을 기반으로 추가로 적응 학습을 시킨 LSTM 언어 모델을 사용하여 문장 임베딩 벡터 표현의 통사적 속성을 추적한다. 이 프로빙 실험을 위한 데이터셋은 문장의 통사 구조를 생성하는 템플릿을 사용하여 자동으로 구축했다. 특히, 프로빙 과제별 문장의 통사적 속성을 분류하기 위해 통사 프라이밍을 이용한 언어 모델의 적응 효과(adaptation effect)를 측정했다. 영어 문장에 대한 언어 모델의 적응 효과와 통사적 속성 관계를 복합적으로 통계분석하기 위해 선형 혼합효과 모형(linear mixed-effects model) 분석을 수행했다. 제안한 L2 LSTM 언어 모델이 베이스라인 L1 글로다바 언어 모델과 비교했을 때, 프로빙 과제별 동일한 양상을 공유함을 확인했다. 또한 L2 LSTM 언어 모델은 다양한 관계절 혹은 등위절이 있는 문장들을 임베딩 표현할 때 관계절 혹은 등위절 세부 유형별로 통사적 속성에 따라 계층 구조로 구분하고 있음을 확인했다.

문장이 길어질수록 구문분석의 정확률이 급격히 떨어지므로, 문장을 분할하여 각각의 분할단위로 구문분석을 수행한 후 각 구문분석결과를 합쳐 완성된 구문트리를 만드는 것이 일반적이다. 이 때 주로 절 단위로 문장이 분할되고, 각 절의 구문분석결과를 통합하게 되는데, 통합 과정에서 절-절 간의 의존관계 설정에 많은 오류가 생긴다. 이러한 절 간의 의존관계의 애매성을 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문은 기계학습을 이용하여 절-절 간의 의존관계를 분석해 본다. Support Vector Machines(SVM)을 사용하여 성능을 평가하고, 본 논문에서 실험한 방법과 기존의 방법들의 성능을 비교해 본 결과, 절-절 간의 의존관계 설정에 있어서 $8.88{\sim}15.35%$의 성능향상을 보였다.
