The purpose of this study was to compare receptive language performance and expressive language performance in 13 patients with aphasia by using three stimulus presentation modes: Stimulus mode I (picture), Stimulus mode II (written word), Stimulus m (question using verbal explanation). The stimulus consisted of 10 words. They included 5 functional words and 5 non-functional words. The 13 subjects with aphasia were divided into 2 aphasic types: 5 Broca's aphasics and 8 anomie aphasics. The results were as follows: Firstly, the three stimulus modes didn't affect receptive language performance of aphasia subjects. Secondly; the three stimulus modes were effective on expressive language performance of aphasia subjects. Particularly, stimulus mode II (written words) was effective in naming the aphasia subjects. Thirdly, the functional words with high frequency were better than non-functional words with low frequency on expressive language performance, but not on receptive language performance of aphasia subjects. Finally, the interaction between three stimulus modes and the functional (nonfunctional) words affected expressive language performance only, but not receptive language performance. Particularly, presenting stimulus in written words which are functional words produced the best expressive language performance.

This paper considers Japanese political interviews to integrate conversation and facial expression analysis. The behaviors of political leaders will be disclosed by analyzing questions and responses by using the turn-taking system in conversation analysis. Additionally, audiences who cannot understand verbal expressions alone will understand the psychology of political leaders by analyzing their facial expressions. Integral analyses promote understanding of the types of facial and verbal expressions of politicians and their effect on public opinion. Politicians have unique techniques to convince people. If people do not know these techniques and ways of various expressions, they will become confused, and politics may fall into populism as a result. To avoid this, a complete understanding of verbal and non-verbal behaviors is needed. This paper presents two analyses. The first analysis is a qualitative analysis that deals with Prime Minister Shinzō Abe and shows that differences between words and happy facial expressions occur. That result indicates that Abe expresses disgusted facial expressions when faced with the same question from an interviewer. The second is a quantitative multiple regression analysis where the dependent variables are six facial expressions: happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared, and disgusted. The independent variable is when politicians have a threat to face. Political interviews that directly inform audiences are used as a tool by politicians. Those interviews play an important role in modelling public opinion. The audience watches political interviews, and these mold support to the party. Watching political interviews contributes to the decision to support the political party when they vote in a coming election.

본 연구는 한국어 동사의 활용된 형태인 굴절 동사의 심성어휘집 접근 과정을 알아보기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위하여 차폐 점화 어휘 판단과제 실험을 실시하여 점화크기를 비교하였다. 한국어 규칙 동사와 불규칙 동사를 다섯 가지로 나누어 실험을 수행하였다. 활용의 종류는 1) 완전규칙 2) 발음변화규칙 3) 철자변화규칙 4) 어간변화 불규칙 5) 어미변화 불규칙으로 1), 2), 3)은 규칙 활용의 범주로 4), 5)는 불규칙활용의 범주이다. 기본형의 동사를 표적자극으로 사용하였고, 점화자극으로 총 세 가지 유형이 사용하였다. 점화자극으로 사용한 자극은 기본형의 어간의 변화가 없는 규칙활용, 기본형의 어간이 철자적, 음운적으로 변화하는 불규칙활용과, 의미 및 형태적으로 관련 없는 통제된 단어이다. 또한 단어재인의 처리에서 형태소 분해 정보처리의 시간대를 살펴보기 위하여 SOA의 간격을 43ms, 72ms, 230ms의 3가지로 나누어 실험하였다. 모든 동사가 모든 SOA에서 규칙활용과 불규칙활용이 통제단어에 비해 빠른 반응시간을 보임으로써 점화효과가 관찰되었다. 그러나 규칙활용과 불규칙활용에서 뚜렷이 점화효과의 차이가 관찰되지 않는다. 이러한 규칙활용과 불규칙활용의 범주의 구분 없이 비슷한 패턴을 보여주는 결과는 한국어가 단순히 규칙과 불규칙의 기준으로 나뉘어서 처리되지 않는다는 것을 시사한다. 또한 모든 SOA에서 촉진효과를 보임으로써 형태소 정보처리가 초기과정부터 일어남을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an exercise program on frontal lobe cognitive function in seniors. Methods: The participants were 42 seniors using a health center in Seoul (experimental group) and 28 seniors using a facility for elders in Seoul (control group). The exercise program was carried out for 16 weeks from April to August 2007. The frontal lobe cognitive function, which includes short term memory, attention, immediate memory, delayed memory, verbal fluency and motor function, was measured by the Digit Span Forward test, Trail Making test, Immediate recall words test, Delayed recall words, Controlled oral word association test and Finger tapping test. The collected data were analyzed by Fisher's exact test, Chi-square, t-test, and ANCOVA using the SAS program. Results: The major findings of this study were as follows: Attention (p=.009), immediate memory (p=.005), delayed memory (p=.009), and verbal fluency (p=.004) improved after the exercise program. Conclusion: In this study, the exercise program was effective in improving frontal lobe cognitive function in elders. So it provides basic information for further nursing education on exercise programs which will be effective for prevention of early cognitive function decline in normally aging elders.

In its restricted sense, 'sound poetry' refers to the poetic performance that rejects words and verbal meaning and instead foregrounds the aural materiality of poetry. Behind this seeking for materiality lies a quest for a 'language of presence,' which operates through a denial of signification toward an ideal of the Adamic tongue, a purely emotional and universal language. In the same light, it is argued that sound poetry is a unique and unrepeatable event devoid of meaning due to its directness to the body allowing no intervention of intellectual and semiotic process. But language may involve perceptual meaning as well as verbal or conceptual meaning ascribed to words. This implies that even though devoid of conceptual meaning by means of using grammatically non-articulated sounds, sound poetry cannot but have meaning whose articulation is differently, i.e., iconically made about the aural features of the sounds. Perceptual meaning is unavoidable because everything we are conscious of is a reduced form, a repeatable pattern that works as a sign. 'Language of presence' is then actually impossible, and therefore sound poetry should be seen rather as a fest of diverse perceptual meanings.

본 연구의 목적은 구어동반 제스처가 어휘인출과정의 개념화와 어휘화 가운데 어떠한 단계와 관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 제스처와 발화 분석을 위하여, 모 방송국의 TV 버라이어티 프로그램 중 제시된 목표단어의 의미를 설명하여 전화상대방이 그 단어의 이름을 맞추게 하는 게임의 동영상 자료를 이용하였다. 분석자료로 이와 같은 TV 자료를 선택한 이유는 프로그램의 게임과제가 어휘인출의 개념화 과정과 어휘화 과정을 동시에 유도할 수 있는 과제로 판단되었기 때문이다. 20회의 동영상 자료를 재생하여 목표단어와 목표단어 설명과정에서 출연자들이 산출한 발화를 전사하고, 출연자들이 사용한 제스처를 어휘 제스처(lexical gesture)와 운동 제스처(motor gesture)로 구분하여 기록하였다. 구어동반 제스처가 어휘인출과정의 개념화와 관계가 있는지 알아보기 위하여, 구체적 단어와 추상적 단어 설명 시 동반된 제스처의 사용양상이 다른지, 그리고 단어 개념의 난이도와 제스처 양 사이에 상관관계가 있는지 분석하였다. 제스처가 어휘인출과정의 어휘화와 관계가 있는지 알아보기 위하여, 출연자가 목표단어 설명 시 산출한 발화의 단어 양과 제스처 양, 그리고 저빈도어 비율과 제스처 양 사이의 상관관계를 각각 살펴보았다. 연구결과 단어 개념의 심상성(imageability)에 따라 유의하게 많이 동반되는 제스처가 다르다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉 구체적 단어 설명 시에는 추상적 단어 설명 시보다 어휘 제스처가 유의하게 많이 동반되었고, 추상적 단어 설명 시에는 구체적 단어 설명 시보다 운동 제스처가 유의하게 많이 동반되었다. 또한 구체적 단어의 경우 개념의 난이도와 제스처 양 사이에 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 목표단어 설명 시 산출된 발화의 단어 양과 제스처 양, 저빈도어 비율과 제스처 양 사이에는 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 구어동반 제스처가 어휘인출과정의 개념화부를 반영한다는 것을 시사한다. 뿐만 아니라 이제까지 많은 연구들에서 간과되어 왔던 운동 제스처의 기능에 대한 새로운 접근을 시도하였다는 점에서 본 연구는 의의가 있을 것이다.

The animal naming test (ANT) is known to be influenced not only by age, gender, and education but only by ethnicity, culture, and language. Thus, population-specific norm considering these variables needs to be developed for Korean-speaking elderly. We evaluated 185 healthy elderly people with five measures. Education was the single statistically independent correlate of the total number of words ($R^2$ = .312, p = .038). After adjusting for education, there was slightly significant negative correlation (r = -.215, p = .049) between age and total number of words. Mean number of words produced was $13.71{\pm}3.09$. The production frequency was negatively correlated with the typicality rating (r = -0.41, p < .05). The concrete and exact scoring rule could be set up in the comparison of naming performance between a normal and patient with neuro-linguistic disorder and its data could be utilized in a differential diagnosis for patients with neurological disorders.

Examining swear words found in Korean and English, we aim to answer the following two questions: (i) 'What words develop into swear words?' and (ii) 'Why they do?' The utility of a swear word is frequently recognized as intimidation directed towards an opponent, emotional catharsis, and solidarity building among in-group members (Jay 1992, 2000, Kim 1997). We seek to go beyond this simple enumeration of possible functions of swearing and suggest an underlying mechanism at work to explain how these functions are achieved and why only certain types of words are employed in this pursuit. A close examination reveals that a swear word must contain either taboo or sadism as an essential component. Sexual pleasure adds another dimension to the basic components. Thus, if an expression contains a subset of the component set {taboo, sadism, sex} in its semantics, it becomes available for swearing (one of the underlined components must be included in the set). For example, many religiously sacred expressions and words for excretion are common swear words as they violate social and religious taboo. On the other hand, words referring to social minorities are a convenient target for sadism. Furthermore, words describing sexual activity contain all three components, violating social taboo, evoking sadism, and giving the initiator guilty sexual pleasure. A combination of the components can produce an emotional effect called catharsis for the initiator. When directed towards others, these components, especially taboo and sadism, can be exploited as a verbal attack, an intimidation, preceding or replacing a physical attack. However, solidarity building is analyzed as a secondary function of swearing, achieved by sharing a sense of accomplice when in-group members behave badly together, such as violating social taboo and committing sadism.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among infants' nonverbal communication, maternal verbal behaviors and the infants' acquisition of vocabulary. The subjects were 93 pairs of 10 to 18 months old infants and their mothers residing in the Seoul and GyeongGi-Do area. The results were as follows : (1) In terms of the infants' nonverbal communicative means, it appeared that the group of 16~18 month olds utilized more gesture and vocalization. As regards the infants' nonverbal communicative functions in terms of social behavior and joint attention, the group of 16~18 month olds was found to perform more of the behaviors from this category than the other groups. There was a significant difference in the maternal verbal behavior among the different age groups. (2) Among the infants' nonverbal communicative means, gesture and vocalization, there appeared to be a significant relationship between vocalization and the infants' acquisition of vocabulary. In addition, there was an important relationship between the high usage of infants' nonverbal communicative functions with behavior regulation and the high usage of joint attention and the successful acquisition of vocabulary among infants. (3) Social play, which is a maternal verbal behavior categorized as one of the strategies for getting infants' attention, was significantly related to the acquisition of infants' vocabulary. (4) When mothers used more imitating sounds and mimetic words, requests for information, descriptions, conventional social expressions, and imitation to enhance responsiveness, infants were found to have acquired a larger vocabulary.

In this study. differences in attention allocation patterns between expert and novIce pilots were investigated by a verbal protocol when pilots were engaged in a task during the instrument flight. Ten pilots including experts and novices were participated to conduct a pre-determined task(a fix-to-fix) on F-5E Cockpit Procedure Trainer Simulator. Experts show better performance as expected with more stable variations in speed. altitude. and attitude. In attention allocation patterns. novices allocated about 83% of attentional resources on the primary instruments (airspeed indicator. altitude indicator. and attitude) relating to the task of the basic flight while experts spent 57%. This difference in the availability of attentional resources allowed expert pilots to accomplish the task better than novices. In other words. training a pilot should consider a program for building up wider instrument scanning patterns to become an expert in a shorter time.
