The aim of this study is to analyze errors made in the perception and production of English liquids by Korean college students. For this study, perception and production experiments were conducted with 27 Korean college students(14 males and 13 females). The experiment stimuli tested were /l/ and /r/, occurring in various positions: onset, onset cluster, word-medial, coda, and coda cluster. The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of the perception experiments, the subjects showed a higher error rate in /r/ than in /l/. Second, in the production experiments, it was found that more errors were made in /l/ than in /r/, contrary to the perception experiment, due to the difficulty of pronouncing the dark [ɫ]. Third, in both the perception and production experiments, the error rate of the coda position was significantly higher and that of the onset cluster was the lowest. In addition, the results of this study proved the general trend seen in second language acquisition. First, in the perception and production of /l/ and /r/ in English, both negative and positive transfer of mother tongue appear. Second, there is a proportional correlation between perception and production in second language acquisition.

This paper investigates mwe-l ‘what’ questions in Korean. As a starting point, we collect mwe-l question sentences from Wulimal Saym (Our Speech Spring). In examining them, we note that on top of its use as an interjection, it can also be used as a questioning word, corresponding to what in English but interpreted as why. We argue that it has developed from mwe-(lo) (because of what) where -(u)lo is a particle expressing reason or cause. Crucially, the lateral -l is inserted between mwe-l and the particle for the sake of phonetic articulation. We move on to note that in Korean both mwe-l and mwue/mwe construct rhetorical-like surprise/disapproval questions. Following Caponigro and Sprouse’s (2007) and Celle’s (2018) pragmatic characterization of rhetorical- like surprise/disapproval questions in general, we show these constructions at issue are not only interpreted as information-seeking ordinary questions but also as expressing a speaker’s surprise and disapproval because of his/her expectation conflicting with the described state-of-affairs.
本文研究了韩国语中“我-我-什么”的问题。作为起点，我们从Wulimal Saym (Our Speech Spring)中收集了mwe-l疑问句。在研究它们时，我们注意到，除了用作感叹词外，它还可以用作疑问词，在英语中相当于“什么”，但被解释为“为什么”。我们认为它是从mwe-(lo) (because of what)发展而来的，其中-(u)lo是表达原因或原因的粒子。至关重要的是，侧面的-l插入在mwe-l和助音之间是为了语音发音。我们继续注意到，在韩语中，mwe-l和mwue/mwe都构成了修辞式的惊讶/不赞成问题。根据Caponigro和Sprouse(2007)以及Celle(2018)对修辞类惊讶/不赞成问题的语用特征，我们发现这些有争议的结构不仅被解释为寻求信息的普通问题，而且还被解释为表达说话者的惊讶和不赞成，因为他/她的期望与所描述的事态相冲突。

This paper examines a group of constructions in Korean that have recently emerged in specific registers. These constructions are truly intriguing pragmatically and syntactically, though they have not, to-date, received sufficient attention, nor serious linguistic analysis. Comparing these emergent constructions (e.g., yangchi ha-si-keyss-upni-ta ‘Rinse your mouth’) with their imperative counterparts (e.g., yanchi ha-si-e-yo), we show: (i) that they are declarative sentence addressed to the hearer; (ii) that they utilize a strategy of indirectness for the purpose of politeness (seemingly overriding Gricean maxims); (iii) that they are increasingly expanding into a wide range of registers used in service sectors; and (iv) that this emerging construction is now fully grammaticalized and is viewed as a fixed politeness expression for these registers irreplaceable by other politeness expressions. What this analysis implies is that a general pragmatic principle that round-about indirect expressions are considered more polite than direct ones, in some social situations and that this general principle is explicitly encoded in a linguistically identifiable form in languages like Korean.
本文研究了最近在特定语域中出现的一组韩国语结构。这些结构在语用和句法上都非常有趣，尽管迄今为止，它们还没有得到足够的重视，也没有得到认真的语言学分析。比较这些紧急结构(例如，yangchi ha-si-keyss-upni-ta ' Rinse your mouth ')和它们的祈使结构(例如，yanchi ha-si-e-yo)，我们发现:(i)它们是对听者的陈述句;(ii)他们利用间接策略来达到礼貌的目的(似乎凌驾于古希腊格言之上);(三)它们日益扩大到服务部门使用的各种登记册;(iv)这种新兴的结构现在完全被语法化了，被视为一种固定的礼貌表达，因为这些语域是其他礼貌表达不可替代的。这一分析暗示了一个普遍的语用原则，即在某些社交场合，迂回的间接表达被认为比直接表达更有礼貌，这一普遍原则在韩语等语言中以语言可识别的形式被明确编码。

This study endeavors to examine university students’ argumentative essays texts using network analysis techniques, aiming to discern the interplay between the structural and expressive characteristics of the editorial texts, in conjunction with network indexes. To accomplish this objective, an expert evaluation of the argumentative essays was conducted, alongside network analysis, followed by statistical analysis to ascertain the presence of correlations between the evaluation scores and the network analysis indices, namely ‘centrality’ and ‘cohesion’. The outcomes of the analysis validate a significant association between the evaluation scores of argumentative sentences and diverse textual dimensions, encompassing textual quantity, network density, the count of nodes and links forming the network, and the number of communities.

The purpose of this paper is to show the relations of acceptability changes between the lexical causative and lexical passive constructions. In order to do this, using the constructions with homomorphic causative/passive verbs, the acceptability between the lexical causative and lexical passive constructions is investigated through questionnaire survey and the analysis of the result is executed by SPSS 27.0 program. The paper is structured as follows. First, the acceptability between the lexical causative and lexical passive constructions is presented using descriptive statistics. In order to examine the changes in the acceptability between the lexical causative and lexical passive constructions, the 'Welch test' is conducted in this analysis. I focus on comparing the acceptability between the lexical causative and lexical passive constructions according to the age groups, respectively. Afterwards, it is demonstrated through Pearson correlation analysis and Two Way Anova that there are some relationships between the changes in the acceptability between the lexical causative and lexical passive constructions. Also, the tendencies of the acceptability changes is claimed to be predicted in the lexical causative and the lexical passive constructions. Finally, the thesis concludes by presenting a hypothesis of the interactions on the acceptability between lexical causative and lexical passive constructions.

Korean -kkaci is widely recognized as a scalar focus particle, and there have been studies requiring the presence of propositions alternative to the prejacent. By examining diverse cases exhibiting the uses of the particle, this paper argues that the alternative proposition is not a necessary component in the particle’s meaning. From an argumentative perspective, this paper claims that the particle is employed to present the prejacent as the strongest argument supporting a conclusion explicit or implicit in the context.

The purpose of this study is to present a principled explanation for the believe (B)- type verb infinitival complement constructions. For this, the embedded CP- deletion adopted from the ECM account (Chomsky 1981) and the overt raising-to-VP-Spec of the matrix sentence from LA-based (Chomsky 2014) and MERGE-based approach (Chomsky 2019, 2020, 2021a, 2021b) are posited on the ground of the property of the B-type verb (cf. Bach 1977; cf. Carnie 2002), Chomsky's Agree-upon (1998, 1999, 2001) EF (2005, 2006, 2008), Chomsky’s (2013, 2014) movement of LA and Chomsky’s (2013) Inheritance- IM (cf. Kim 2018a, 2018b, 2021). This postulation operated in the workspace (WS) (Chomsky 2019, 2020, 2021a, 2021b) based on the tripartite prolific domain (Grohmann 2003), (strong) Phase (Chomsky 1999, 2001) and Phase higher evaluation (Chomsky 1999) considers the complete and defective property of the post-verbal NP. Hence, the controversies of the post-verbal NP are solved. Besides, the challenges like the Projection Principle, the θ-criterion, and the placement problem of the matrix B-verb are no longer problematic.

The purpose of this paper is to confirm the realization of meaning and intonation for Korean sentence-final ending ‘-ney’. For this, based on the speech act, cognition and assumption of hearer, we looked into the realization of intonation for sentence-closing ending, ‘-ney’ in Seoul/Gyeonggi regions and Daegu/North Gyeongsang regions. In this paper, after extracting the physical properties(speech rate, start-point/end-point pitch, minimum/maximum pitch, slope) of each region’s intonation through production test, an objective analysis was attempted using a statistical program. This thesis is significant in that it attempted to analyze the meaning of the sentence-final ending ‘-ney’ in Korean, focusing on various physical attributes of intonation.

This study aims to investigate various usages and those semantic associations of ‘kada’ in Daegu Dialect. Though a number of previous researches already dealt with different functions of ‘kada’, such as quotation verb, utterance verb, and pro-verb, this study tries to analyze in detail individual grammatical characteristics and explore comprehensively their mutual relation. In addition, by discussing together ‘ikada, geukada, jeokada’, which had been developed in the opposite direction with ‘kada’, it is confirmed that these words have a close and systematic correspondence with each other in terms of grammar.

This study aims to investigate the use of Korean intensifiers by L2 learners based on data from a learner corpus. This study focuses on five intensifiers: maywu, cincca, nemwu, toykey, and acwu, which are found to be frequent intensifiers in Korean native speakers’ data. Based on native speakers’ data, it is known that toykey and cincca among those intensifiers are generally used in spoken language while, in general, maywu is rarely used in spoken language. Comparing the Korean Learner Corpus by the National Institute of Korean Language with the Sejong Corpus, this study examines whether L2 learners change intensifiers according to the modes of production (i.e., spoken and written language) and their proficiency levels. Unlike native speakers’ data from the Sejong Corpus, L2 learners overall tend to use far more intensifiers in writing than in speaking. Compared with higher-proficiency learners, lower-proficiency learners, in general, tend to overuse intensifiers. In using toykey and maywu, it is also found that their differences in speaking and in writing get lager as proficiency level becomes higher. These findings indicate that higher-proficiency learners perform in a more target-like way in using an intensifier, and thus suggest that the pattern of native speakers in intensifier use is acquirable.
