This paper describes the extended pivot-based approach for bilingual lexicon extraction. The basic features of the approach can be described as follows: First, the approach builds context vectors between a source (or target) language and a pivot language like English, respectively. This is the same as the standard pivot-based approach which is useful for extracting bilingual lexicons between low-resource languages such as Korean-French. Second, unlike the standard pivot-based approach, the approach looks for similar context vectors in a source language. This is helpful to extract translation candidates for polysemous words as well as lets the translations be more confident. Third, the approach extracts translation candidates from target context vectors through the similarity between source and target context vectors. Based on these features, this paper describes the extended pivot-based approach and does various experiments in a language pair, Korean-French (KR-FR). We have observed that the approach is useful for extracting the most proper translation candidate as well as for a low-resource language pair.

The purpose of this paper is to review critically the validity and relevance of the pan-national language culture improvement movement, Annyeong! Urimal(Hello! Our Language) implemented for the last three years as part of the government-driven projects, and to seek for improvement direction or fundamental reorientation of this movement. In order to accomplish this purpose, this paper firstly points out abstract and conventional aspects of the diagnosis for background and the purpose of projects, and suggests that this movement focuses on verbal abuse rather than language destruction and pays attention to positive aspects of newly rising language use. Then, with reference to main agent, this paper argues that the government must lead actively formation of voluntary nongovernmental agent with indirect financial and institutional support. Thirdly, it is suggested that public language should be the top priority target sphere and the language used by the leaders of society and the older generation should be also included in the target spheres of this movement. Finally, this paper indicates that enlightenment/public relation projects end often in one time events, imposing unilaterally the normative contents, and also emphasizes the importance of survey/research projects and deliberation/evaluation projects.

This study aims to discuss the basic foundations to set levels and language skills for developing a Korean Proficiency Test for young and adolescent learners. Recently, there has been an increase in demand regarding young and adolescent learners from multicultural and overseas backgrounds. However, the current Korean Proficiency Test lacks the appropriate means to determine the Korean proficiency of young and adolescent learners with general purposes of language learning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing a specialized and new form of language assessment for young and adolescent learners who are exposed to a foreign language or a second language learning environment. The study examines and analyzes cases of foreign language examinations for young & adolescent learners; furthermore, the objectives and target were set based on the results of a needs analysis and in-depth interviews conducted among teachers and education officials in overseas Korean Hangeul Schools, international schools, elementary and secondary schools. Finally, the levels and language skills appropriate for the objectives of a proficiency test and target learners have been suggested.

Electronically available biological literature has been accumulated exponentially in the course of time. So, researches on automatically acquiring knowledge from these tremendous data by text mining technology become more and more prosperous. However, most of the previous researches are technology oriented and are not well focused in practical extraction target, hence result in low performance and inconvenience for the bio-researchers to actually use. In this paper, we propose a more biology oriented target domain specific text mining system, that is, POSTECH bio-text mining system (POSBIOTM), for signal transduction pathway extraction, especially for G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pathway. To reflect more domain knowledge, we specify the concrete target for pathway extraction and define the minimal pathway domain ontology. Under this conceptual model, POSBIOTM extracts interactions and entities of pathways from the full biological articles using a machine learning oriented extraction method and visualizes the pathways using JDesigner module provided in the system biology workbench (SBW) [14]

The current study was designed to explore whether taking English pronunciation classes could improve the realization of English rhythm by Korean learners of English. Specifically, this study used various rhythm metrics to examine the extent to which the learners' speech became rhythmically similar to the target language after taking classes that focused on English pronunciation. Sixteen learners who took a 15-week English pronunciation course at a university read an English passage twice (at the beginning and the end of the semester). The rhythm metrics such as Deltas, Varcos, and Pairwise Variability Indices were calculated for the learners' speech, as well as that of 8 native speakers of English. The results demonstrated that the learners' speech was slower, and they put more frequent within-sentence pauses than the native speakers even after the classes. The analyses also indicated that the speech recorded at the beginning of the semester was rhythmically much more different from the target language than at the end of the semester. After the classes, however, the learners' consonantal intervals became much more target-like, while the vocalic intervals were rhythmically even further from those in the target language. Overall, the findings suggested that the pronunciation classes helped the learners to produce English speech that was rhythmically similar to the native speakers.

This paper proposes a machine in dependent automatic microcode generation system using a microtnstruction description language, MDL. The MDL, which has similar structure to C language, is a high-level microarchitecture description language. It defines the hardwaer elements and the operand selection of microoperartions. The proposed system generates microcode automatically by describing the structure information of a target microarchitectuer and accepting thebehavioral information of microoperations which are generated ad a intermediate language from HLML-C. This proposed system is implemented with C language and YACC on a SUN workstation (4.3 BSD).

This study provided longitudinal examination of the Chinese learners' acquisition of Korean vowels. Specifically, I examined the Chinese learners' Korean monophthongs /i, e, ɨ, ${\Lambda}$, a, u, o/ that were created at the time of 1 month and 12 months, tried to verify empirically how they learn by dealing with their mother tongue, and Korean vowels through dealing with pattern of the Perceptual Assimilation Model (henceforth PAM) of Best (Best, 1993; 1994; Best & Tyler, 2007) and the Speech Learning Model (henceforth SLM) of Flege (Flege, 1987; Bohn & Flege, 1992, Flege, 1995). As a result, most of the present results are shown to be similarly explained by the PAM and SLM, and the only discrepancy between these two models is found in the 'similar' category of sounds between the learners' native language and the target language. Specifically, the acquisition pattern of /u/ and /o/ in Korean is well accounted for the PAM, but not in the SLM. The SLM did not explain why the Chinese learners had difficulty in acquiring the Korean vowel /u/, because according to the SLM, the vowel /u/ in Chinese (the native language) is matched either to the vowel /u/ or /o/ in Korean (the target language). Namely, there is only a one-to-one matching relationship between the native language and the target language. In contrast, the Chinese learners' difficulty for the Korean vowel /u/ is well accounted for in the PAM in that the Chinese vowel /u/ is matched to the vowel pair /o, u/ in Korean, not the single vowel, /o/ or /u/.

The current study investigated whether Korean learners' English-learning environments, especially target English accent (General American English (GAE) vs. Southern British English (SBE)) and English-language experience affected their production of English vowels. Thirty six EFL learners, 27 ESL-US learners, and 33 ESL-UK learners produced 8 English vowels with a bVt frame (beat, bit, bet, bat, bought, bot, boat, boot). The learners' productions were acoustically analyzed in terms of F1 and F2 frequencies. The overall results revealed that the learners' target accent had an effect on their production of some English vowels. The EFL and ESL-US learners' (especially, female learners') production of bought, bot, boat, and boot, which show characteristic differences between the GAE and SBE accents, was closer to that of the native American English (AE) speakers than the native British English (BE) speakers. In contrast, the ESL-UK learners' production of bought and bot demonstrated the opposite pattern. Thus, the impact of target accent was not demonstrated across the board. The effect of the learners' different English-language experience was also rather limited. This was because the EFL learners' production was not much different from the ESL-US learners' production, in spite of the ESL-US learners' residence in the US for more than 9 years. Furthermore, the Korean learners, irrespective of their different English-language experience, tended to produce bit and bat with lower F1 than the native AE and BE speakers, thus resulting in bit and bat to be produced similarly to beat and bet, respectively. This demonstrates the learners' persistent L1 effects on their English vowel production despite the learners' residence in the English speaking countries or their high English proficiency.

이 논문은 언어수업에서 문화를 가르치는 것에 관한 것이다. 많은 교사들이 외국어를 가르치면서 동시에 문화를 가르치는 것을 부담스러워 하며 두려워하기까지 한다. 정치, 경제, 역사, 예술, 문학 등 객관적인 문화를 가르치는 것을 두려워하지는 않지만 의사소통능력과 관련된 문화인 주관적인 문화를 지도하는 것에는 난색을 표명한다. 본고에서는 언어수업에서 문화 지도를 할 수 있는 간단한 3단계 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이는 Lange, Bennett 그리고 Moran의 방법을 혼합하여 재구성한 방법이다. 첫 번째 단계는 자기중심적 세계를 탈피하고 두 번째 단계는 자신의 문화와 목표 문화를 비교하여 문화에 대한 자각력을 키우고 세 번째 단계는 목표 문화에 적절히 반응하는 것이다. 교재는 영화를 사용한다. 영화 속에 나타난 문화적 양상이 일상과 관련된 주관적 문화이므로 언어수업에서 가르치고자 하는 문화와 일맥상통한다. 또한 영화는 학생들이 좋아하는 장르이므로 이점이 있다. 문화 교육을 위한 이 조그마한 제안이 나와 다른 인종들을 서로 이해하며 존경하는 세상이 오는 데 일익을 담당하기를 기대해 본다.

최근 대량의 텍스트 분석을 위해 딥 러닝(Deep Learning)을 활용하는 연구들이 활발히 수행되고 있으며, 특히 대량의 텍스트에 대한 학습 결과를 특정 도메인 텍스트의 분석에 적용하는 사전 학습 언어 모델(Pre-trained Language Model)이 주목받고 있다. 다양한 사전 학습 언어 모델 중 BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) 기반 모델이 가장 널리 활용되고 있으며, 최근에는 BERT의 MLM(Masked Language Model)을 활용한 추가 사전 학습(Further Pre-training)을 통해 분석 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방안이 모색되고 있다. 하지만 전통적인 MLM 방식은 신조어와 같이 새로운 단어가 포함된 문장의 의미를 충분히 명확하게 파악하기 어렵다는 한계를 갖는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 MLM을 보완하여 신조어에 대해서만 집중적으로 마스킹을 수행하는 신조어 표적 마스킹(NTM: Newly Coined Words Target Masking)을 새롭게 제안한다. 제안 방법론을 적용하여 포털 'N'사의 영화 리뷰 약 70만 건을 분석한 결과, 제안하는 신조어 표적 마스킹이 기존의 무작위 마스킹에 비해 감성 분석의 정확도 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.
