Initially, the word 'usage' in the rule of Korean orthography was used to indicate the whole grammatical knowledge to separate between stems and inflectional affixes and nominals and case markers. Nowadays the word 'usage' in the rule of Korean orthograph is understood to indicate both 'usage' as the principles of the orthographic rule and 'grammar.' Even though 'usage' and 'grammar' can be understood as two different words, the discrepancy between them is not clear. In fact, if examining the rule of Korean orthography, it is not difficult to find that the principles of the orthography is written based on the grammar rules. Thus, the original principle is damaged because the rule of Korean orthography depends on the grammar rules too much. In addition, the rule of Korean orthography forces to change the grammar rules when describing them. Incorrect description of the grammar rules often causes the spelling mistakes. Therefore, it is necessary to divide two areas such as 'usage' and 'grammar' when dealing with 'the orthographic rules' and describing them.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to decide pronunciation of loanwords in Korean language. There has not been a regulation for pronunciation of loanwords in Korean language. Even the dictionary published by the government does not provide any information about the pronunciation of loanwords. In this paper, some actual solutions are suggested for the pronunciation of loanwords. Korean language has Regulations of Standard Korean, Korean Orthography, Regulations on Hangeul Transcriptions on Loanwords and Pronunciation Methods of Standard Korean. These language standards could help to decide pronunciation of loanwords. Some pronunciations which could not be regulated by them must be presented in the standard pronunciation dictionary. For example, glottalization rule of 's' in many loanwords could be presented in the description of each loanword in the dictionary. However the pronunciation of loanwords must be similar to the spelling. If various pronunciations are allowed to one spelling, then people will be so confused by the discrepancy between pronunciation and spelling of loanwords.

본 연구의 목적은 고등학교 교육과정에서 사용되고 있는 지구과학 불일치 용어를 조사하고 그 대안을 탐색하는 데 있다. 고등학교 지구과학 교과서에서 같은 의미를 지니면서 다른 용어를 사용하는 경우 이를 불일치 용어로 정의하였다. 불일치 용어를 참고문헌과 선행 연구의 용어와 비교한 후, 284명의 교사와 학생을 대상으로 선호도를 조사하였다. 연구 결과 불일치 용어는 고등학교 교과서는 물론 참고문헌에서도 다수 조사되었다. 선호도 조사 결과 의미가 쉽게 전달될 수 있는 용어, 이전에 학습한 용어, 외래어 표기법에 맞는 용어에 대한 선호도가 높았다. 그리고 고유명의 표기가 다르거나 서로 다른 문헌과 배경 지식에 기반하고 있는 불일치 용어는 외래어 표기법과 학회 발간물에 근거하여 대안을 모색할 수 있다. 따라서 공인된 이론에 근거하고 의미 전달이 쉬운 지구과학 용어를 공유하여 사용함으로써 혼란을 해소할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents a method for constructing and using transliteration rules which are based on Phonics, an instructional method for speaking and writing English letters. Conventional approaches to automatic transliteration often focused on statistical methods. However, the construction or the collection of correct transliteration examples is always the bottleneck of the statistical transliteration model. Also, in practical domains where the collection of such data is very difficult, such as education and tourism, it is reasonable to build a system without much qualified data. Furthermore, compared with Korean orthography of borrowed foreign words, the proposed approach is much easier to construct, and can generate more refined rules. The experimentation result shows that the proposed approach can improve the performance of a statistical-based transliteration system.

This paper aims to describe a knowledge-based pronunciation generation system for French. It has been reported that a rule-based pronunciation generation system outperforms most of the data-driven ones for French; however, only a few related studies are available due to existing language barriers. We provide basic information about the French language from the point of view of the relationship between orthography and pronunciation, and then describe our knowledge-based pronunciation generation system, which consists of morphological analysis, Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging, grapheme-to-phoneme generation, and phone-to-phone generation. The evaluation results show that the word error rate of POS tagging, based on a sample of 1,000 sentences, is 10.70% and that of phoneme generation, using 130,883 entries, is 2.70%. This study is expected to contribute to the development and evaluation of speech synthesis or speech recognition systems for French.
