본 연구는 한국어 말소리 단어를 처리할 때, 운율구성성분인 음운구 경계와 어휘변인인 단어빈도가 상호 작용하는지를 알아보았다. 이를 위해 4개의 음운구로 발화된 문장에서 참가자가 목표단어를 찾을 때, 음운구 경계에 걸침 유무에 따라서 생기는 방해효과를 단어찾기 과제(word monitoring task)를 통해서 조사하였다. 목표단어는 2음절의 고빈도와 저빈도 단어들이 실험자 내 조건으로, 4개의 음운구로 발화된 문장에서 각각 음운구 경계 간(목표단어: 대표, 음운구 경계: [이사회의] [반대] [표명이] [있었다]) 조건과 음운구 경계 내(목표단어: 마차, 음운구 경계: [세뱃돈은] [항상] [우리] [엄마 차지였다]) 조건이 실험자 간 조건으로 설계되었다. 실험 결과, 두 변인 중 음운구 경계의 주 효과가 유의미하였으며, 상호작용도 유의미하였다. 사후분석 결과 음운구 경계 내 그룹에서만 고빈도 목표단어를 저빈도 목표단어보다 유의미하게 빠르게 탐색하는 것으로 나타났고 음운구 경계 간 그룹에서는 목표단어의 빈도효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이 결과를 기반으로 음운 단어재인시 단어의 빈도변인이 초기 단계에 영향을 미치는 여부와 한국어 말소리 처리에서 두 변인의 중요성을 논의하였다.

The aim of this paper is to suggest an index of coarticulation, proportional undershoot values, given the observation that absolute undershoot within a language tends to be proportional to target-locus difference. The target-locus proportionality predicts that a large difference between the consonant locus and the vowel target will result in a large amount of vowel undershoot, while a small difference a small amount of vowel undershoot. It turns out that the proportional undershoot is a potentially more appropriate way of comparing degree of undershoot across languages. However, even though the proportional undershoot measurement may provide a useful index comparing the overall coarticulation degree in a CV token for cross-linguistic data, it is concluded that it may potentially wrongly predict the cases of transfer or error as a progress in learning.

This study explored how a particular social media can be used to supplement elementary-level Korean language course in the US public university. The researchers administered a survey measuring students' patterns and habits of social media use. Based on the survey results, researchers designed six different types of learning materials and uploaded them regularly to Instagram throughout the semester. At the end of the semester, a survey was conducted to find out students' satisfactory level. From the 44 students' responses, the study found out that using Instagram 1) is more accessible to students than any other learning management system, 2) is fun and students are willing to participate, 3) increased the target language exposure and authentic language use, 4) increased interaction between teachers, students and even other native speakers, and 5) is helpful to improve listening and other language skills. The study closes with the suggestion for further experimental studies.

We use prototypes (also known as referent in semiotics) when we understand the outside world. Different language users use different prototypes to decode the same sound. When we learn Chinese language as a foreign language, during it's sound perceptual process, Korean learners' target language prototypes are different from Chinese native speakers'. The purpose of the paper is to examine the theory of speech perception and the theory of constructivism teaching, and to suggest to the Chinese language teachers to have Cunstructivist approach while they design there teaching course. For this, we concerned three things: First is to review speech perception theory and constructivism teaching theory. Second based on the preceding study, we review that learner's prototypes are different from Chinese native speaker and this cause the error of listening and pronunciation. Finally, we introduced two simple speech visualization programs developed to help us learn pronunciation.

대화체 음성언어번역시스템의 일부인 개념기반 번역시스템은 음성인식의 결과를 이용하여 다른 언어로 번역해 주는 시스템이다. 본 논문은 여행계획 영역에 대해 한국어를 해석하여 영어, 일본어, 한국어로 번역해 주는 시스템에 대해 기술한 것이다. 개념기반 번역은 비정형 문장이 많은 대화체 문장을 처리하기 위해 형태소 분석 등의 구문정보를 이용하지 않고, 의미단위의 번역을 시도한 것으로 화자의 의도를 정확히 번역해 주는 것을 목표로 한다. 개념기반 번역은 280여개의 개념과 개념간의 계층구조에 의해, 인식결과를 개념구조로 변환한 후 다른 언어로 생성해 준다. 효율적인 한국어 처리를 위해 기준단어를 이용한 토큰분리기와 문법자동 수정기를 개발하였다. 그리고 자연스러운 생성문을 위해 각 언어에 대한 후처리기를 개발하였다.

영어를 제2언어로 사용하는 한국인을 대상으로 이중언어의 어휘접근이 음운 정보와 관련하여 어떻게 일어나는 지를 알아보았다. 이중언어를 처리할 때에 양 언어의 음운적 지식이 동시에 활성화된다는 비선택적 가설과 한 언어의 음운적 지식만이 활성화된다는 선택적 가설을 검증하고자하는 목적으로 2개의 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 한글 표적자극의 수행이(실험2) 점화자극으로 제시된 영어 단어의 음운적 조작에 따라 유의미한 영향을 받았고, 영어 표적자극을 처리할 때에는(실험1) 점화자극으로 제시된 한글 단어의 음운적 조작에 따라 영향을 받는 경향을 발견하였다. 이는 이중언어 중 한 언어를 처리할 때에 다른 언어의 음운적지식이 자동적으로 활성화됨을 의미하며 한국인에게 있어서 제2언어인 영어의 처리에서 음운정보가 중요한 역할을 함을 의미한다.

The aim of this paper is to analyse difficulties of the pronunciation in swedish vowels encountered by Koreans learners and to seek solutions in order to correct the possible errors. In the course of the analysis the swedish and Korean vowels in question are compared with the purpose of describing differences aha similarities between these two systems. This contrastive description is largely based on the students' articulatory speech level ana the writer's auditory , judgement . The following points are discussed : 1 ) Vowel length as a distinctive feature in Swedish compared with that of Korean. 2) A special attention is paid on the Swedish vowel [w:] that is characterized by its peculiar type of lip rounding. 3) The six pairs of Swedish vowels that are phonologically contrastive but difficult for Koreans to distinguish one from the other: [y:] ~ [w:], [i:] ~ [y:], [e:] ~ [${\phi}$:], [w;] ~ [u:] [w:] ~ [$\theta$], [$\theta$] ~ [u] 4) The r-colored vowel in the case of the postvocalic /r/ that is very common in American English is not allowed in English sound sequences. The r-colored vowel in the American English pattern has to be broken up and replaced hi-segmental vowel-consonant sequences . Korean accustomed to the American pronunciation are warned in this respect. For a more distinct articulation of the postvocalic /r/ trill [r] is preferred to fricative [z]. 5) The front vowels [e, $\varepsilon, {\;}{\phi}$) become opener variants (${\ae}, {\;}:{\ae}$] before / r / or supradentals. The results of the analysis show that difficulties of the pronunciation of the target language (Swedish) are mostly due to the interference from the Learner's source language (Korean). However, the Learner sometimes tends to get interference also from the other foreign language with which he or she is already familiar when he or she finds in that language more similarity to the target language than in his or her own mother tongue. Hence this foreign language (American English) in this case functions as a second language for Koreans in Learning Swedish.

One of the areas of second language acquisition that enjoyed popularity in recent years is interlanguage pragmatics. The main reason for this popularity lies in the critical role of pragmatic competence in appropriate use of a target language. The aim of this paper was to examine L2 learners' pragmatic behavior in their speech act performance and determine main sources causing pragmatic difficulty. Four major sources of pragmatic errors were identified: linguistic proficiency, L1 transfer, waffling and teaching activities. Each source was discussed with empirical evidence in some detail, and teaching suggestions were provided for developing learners' pragmatic competence in EFL classrooms.

The totality of language learning comprises three integrated components: linguistic, cultural, and attitudinal (Wilkes, 1983).Positively sensitizing students to cultural phenomena is urgent and crucial. A positive attitude toward L2 culture is a factor in language learning that leads to cross cultural understanding. This research examined, through a survey analysis, how three groups of students (one high school group and two university student groups) viewed the role of their foreign culture (i.e., American and British cultures) in achieving cultural understanding. The focus was upon how EFL learners approach the target language culture as well as their own culture.

When a Japanese learner in Korea tries to find Japanese dictionary, he must know the pronunciation of the target word. But it's not easy to know the pronunciation of target word from Japanese sentence. Because most of general Japanese sentence shows only HanJa(Chinese character) instead of Kana(Japanese alphabet). If the Japanese learner knows the Korean traditional pronunciation of the target word, he can input the word to electronic Japanese dictionary with the Korean pronunciation. For this solution, the dictionary service provider must convert the Japanese word to Korean pronunciation, in advance. After setting of the conversions as a additional searching process, we can find the target word through Korean pronunciation of the Japanese HanJa, This process is possible for the three reasons below, 1. Korean, Japanese and Chinese are using the nearly same HanJa. The difference is small. 2. Most Japanese learner in Korea, knows the Korean pronunciation of the HanJa. 3. The Korean pronunciation of the HanJa is nearly unique, a HanJa has a Korean pronunciation, generally.
