The purpose of this paper is to analyze the distribution and characteristics of null arguments in Korean Sign Language (KSL). Languages such as Spanish and Italian, which have a rich system of overt morphological agreement, allow subject-drop but not object-drop. For this reason, it has been said that the null arguments are licensed by rich verbal morphology. On the other hand, languages such as Korean and Chinese do not have a rich agreement system like Spanish and Italian. Thus, the verbs are used with the same ending regardless of person, number, and gender features. In this paper, we show that KSL is different from those languages like Korean and Chinese in that arguments can be dropped with both agreeing and non-agreeing verbs. In some contexts, in addition, null arguments of non-agreeing verbs are not allowed, whereas null arguments of agreeing verbs are totally acceptable. Therefore, to solve these problems, in this paper, we suggest hybrid analysis in licensing null arguments in KSL.

This article provides an experiment-based study on scrambling involved in binding. There have been a large number of attempts to analyze scrambling in terms of A/A’-distinctions. These analyses are dependent upon the canonical Binding Theory(BT). Binding relations, however, do not always determine which copy of a scrambled phrase is interpreted. Besides, different acceptability judgments on the same sentence among researchers have been one of the impediments to proposing a far-reaching theory regarding scrambling. For this reason, this paper conducted an acceptability judgment testing to scrutinize the mixed nature of scrambling and binding. In the experiment, ‘scrambling effects’ are observed in all but one of the conditions; it suggests that scrambling-involved data can be analyzed by means of the inactiveness of the base copy. The parallels of the pronoun ku and the anaphor caki observed in scrambled contexts support the idea that the dependence on the BT for understanding the nature of scrambling is problematic.

This paper analyzed the partiality of 42 two-syllable body compound words with different parts of speech as verbs and adjectives in various dictionaries through the modification of adverbs of degree. Type A body compound words consist of a subject predicate structure except for three predicate object structures. It is difficult to say that this type of compound word is lexicalized as a typical adjective because it is found that it receives little modification of adverbs of degree. Type B body compound words consist of predicate object structures, and it is a general view that as the internal closeness increases, they have been lexically converted from predicate object phrases into heterologous verbs. Many of these compound words can be seen as verb adjectives and concurrent verbs because they are relatively actively modified by adverbs of degree. The internal closeness of Chinese compound words is generally higher in the predicate object structure than the subject predicate structure. As the lexical progress of the predicate object structure with high internal closeness is more active, it is thought that type B compound words are more formulated by adverbs of degree.

The study aimed at examining the effectiveness of Focus on Form (FonF) and Focus on Forms (FonFs) on L2 Pronunciation development of English consonant. For data, 34 pre-intermediate English major college learners participated in the study. For 3 weeks, experimental group 1 (n=11) received the FonF instruction with corrective feedback (CF). Experimental group 2 (n=11) received the FonF instruction without CF. The control group (n=12) received FonFs instruction. The findings of the study revealed that the 2 FonF groups showed statistically significant differences in the post-test regardless of CF (p=.035, p=.023, p<.05). However, the FonFs group did not show any statistical difference between the pre-and post-test (p=.993, p>.05). Even though the types of CF: recast and clarification requests, did not provide direct assistance in the study, the results of the study had an academic contribution, proving the effectiveness of the FonF instruction on L2 pronunciation development. Finally, suggestions for future studies are discussed.
本研究旨在考察注重形式(Focus on Form, FonF)和注重形式(Focus on Forms, FonFs)对英语辅音二语发音发展的有效性。数据方面，34名大学预科英语专业的学生参与了研究。实验1组(n=11)连续3周接受FonF指导和纠正反馈(CF)。实验组2 (n=11)给予不加CF的FonF指令，对照组(n=12)给予FonF指令。研究结果显示，无论CF如何，2个FonF组的后测差异均有统计学意义(p=。035, p =。023年,p.05)。尽管重铸和澄清要求的类型对研究没有提供直接的帮助，但研究结果具有学术贡献，证明了FonF教学对二语发音发展的有效性。最后，对今后的研究提出了建议。

The following research investigates the lexicalization patterns of motion events in Korean and Greek. Cross-linguistic differences in the encoding of motion events are typically attributed to differences in encoding strategies offered by languages and the limited possibilities for organizing semantic components of movement (i.e., Manner and Course). According to Talmy (1985, 2000), Korean and Modern Greek have been classified as “verb-framed languages,” although there is some disagreement among researchers regarding this classification. Korean language, while debatably not clearly belonging to the verb-framed language or some third category, generally exhibits the characteristics of a V-language. Modern Greek, on the other hand, is a language that demonstrates the coexistence of verb and satellite-framed language, sharing certain properties with satellite language systems, and is situated in an intermediate position on the typological continuum between V and S-languages. Through the research, it is confirmed that the two languages, while initially categorized as V-languages, display unique features in the lexicalization patterns of motion events. Based on the results of this study, further cross-linguistic research can be conducted to explore the individual characteristics of each language in relation to language acquisition.

This study aims to reveal what kind of discourse function the discourse marker ‘Inja’ frequently used in Gwangju’s daily language performs. Unlike previous studies on ‘Inja’, this study attempted to systematically analyze discourse functions from microscopic, macroscopic perspectives and even functions related to emotions. As for the analysis data, transcription data and video data obtained through interviews with merchants in the Gwangju market were targeted. As a result of analyzing this data, a total of 13 functions were identified as the discourse function of ‘Inja’, which appears frequently in Gwangju’s daily language. Macroscopic functions include ‘topic switching function’, ‘topic induction function’, ‘topic focus function’, ‘topic closing function’, ‘topic addition function’, and microscopic functions ‘time-earning function’, ‘information supplement function’, ‘utterance closing function’, ‘utterance access function’, ‘hesitation’, ‘pause function’, ‘citation sign function’, ‘filling blanks in information’ were used. Among these functions, this study newly presented ‘topic closing function’, ‘sentence closing function’, ‘hesitation’, ‘pause function’, ‘citation sign function’, and ‘filling blanks in information’ as functions that have not been mentioned in previous studies. As such, the realization of ‘Inja’ used in various possibilities was confirmed in the analysis data. Finally, as a result of network analysis to confirm the relationship between the use of ‘Ije’ and ‘Inje’, which show similar use of ‘Inja’, it was revealed that only ‘Inja’ has ‘citation sign function’ and ‘filling blanks in information’.

The present study aims to analyze how L1 interference of Korean nasalization processes influences English speech by Korean EFL speakers according to their English proficiency. 20 Korean EFL speakers (experimental group) and four native speakers of English (control group) participated in this study. Korean EFL speakers were divided into two groups of ten according to their English proficiency. This study measures the values of three factors: the frequency of nasalization processes, final stop release, and vowel insertion. Through this study, the following results were found. The English proficiency of Korean EFL speakers is found to influence the realization of nasalization processes and vowel insertion in their English speech in that they are realized more frequently by the group with lower English proficiency than the group with higher English proficiency. For final stop release, although no particular difference is found when comparing the frequency of the final stop release of the three speaker groups, it is found that the group with English native speakers has a higher frequency of final stop release than the two Korean speaker groups, and the group with higher English proficiency is likely to have a higher frequency of final stop release compared to the group with lower English proficiency in most cases. The findings suggest that the group with higher English proficiency speaks closer to English native speakers than the group with lower English proficiency.

In recent minimalist syntax, Minimal Search, MS plays the role of a bona fide 3rd factor principle, which is supposed to regulate most operations and algorithms in human language computation such as Merge, Agree, and labeling (Chomsky 2013, 2015, 2019a,b, 2021). A minimalist syntactician who seeks to explain syntactic phenomena in a particular language, hence, is doomed to revise his or her work that was based on old concepts about locality. In this paper, we will touch some concepts of locality, old or new, and try to find out potential problems that we can encounter when we pursue MS-based account of locality phenomena.

This study aims to identify the canonical word-orders when Korean verbs take two objects: a clause and an NP. To pursue this goal, with over 7,000 tokens of 27 Korean utterance verbs which reportedly possess a ‘hearer-theme’ construction (Cho 2009; Lee 2016), it observes how many objects (zero, one, or two objects) are realized in a token sentence, analyzes in what type of syntactic categories the objects appear, and finally examines which word-order is preferred in case of the two objects in a token. Besides, it attempts to classify the 27 utterance verbs in terms of their object realization, i.e., the number and the syntactic types of objects in the tokens, using K-means clustering algorithm and Heirarchical Clustering. The findings are (i) the most of the data fell into zero or one object cases while only 5% of the data occurred with two objects, (ii) the canonical word-order differed depending on the syntactic type of an NP object so that an Accusative NP mostly followed a clausal object while a Dative NP preferably preceded an object clause, and (iii) the verbs given were best categorized into three groups when they took only one complement: hearer-dominant group, theme-dominant group, and hearer/theme group.

The verb SER in Spanish has been defined as a copulative verb and corresponds to a verb that derives a attributive sentence. In these constructions, the verb SER is understood as an syntathe subject and the attribute as a conjunction and expresses the Tense features. The verb SER is also used in passive phrases and these constructions is semantically and syntactically different from the attributive sentence. In this study, we intend to analyze the passive syntax with SER. In this study, the syntactic characteristics of the passive constructions with SER in Spanish will be reviewed, and previous analyses of these constructions will be considered. Based on this considerations, we will suppose that the passive meaning is based on the Event features of the verb (Past Participle). And it is assumed that these Event features are derived from the Lexicon. In our analysis, these passive constructions are derived from Lexical-Syntax (Harley 1995).
