We investigate the nature of the idiomatic gapped right dislocation constructions (RDCs), by examining the distinction between the idiomatic and non-idiomatic appendices. The overt idiomatic correlate in the antecedent clause plays a crucial role in identifying the idiomatic appendix of the gapped RDC. That is, the idiomatic appendix in the gapped RDC must hold the idiomatic correlate in the antecedent context. When the idiomatic appendix in the gapped RDC crosses islands such as a relative clause or an adjunct clause, the gapped RDC cannot preserve its idiomatic interpretation even when the verbal idiomatic expression is given in the antecedent clause or question. This is different from the fact that there is a parallelism between the plain gapped RDCs and the fragment answers, which shows a natural consequence under the standard assumption that the appendices and fragments are derived by ellipsis and are island-insensitive due to the repair effect. Hence, we follow the right dislocation approach for the idiomatic appendices in the gapped RDCs, which resolves the issue of the island sensitivity.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the properties of the reflexive caki, the pronoun ku and pro in Korean. The dual properties of the pronoun is known to be reference and bound variable. According to Choi (2013, 2014), Korean reflexive caki is not an anaphor (reflexive) but a bound-variable pronoun which functions as the pronoun, and the pronoun ku is not a pronoun but a nominal phrase which is composed of a demonstrative ku and a null category pro having a feature [+human]. In order to identify whether his argument is on the right tract or not, the properties of pro is investigated together with the ones of caki and ku because the pro is claimed to have the inherent and instinct properties of the pronoun in Korean. The result of this research is as follows: caki functions as an anaphor inside the local domain and a bound variable pronoun outside the local domain. Ku acts as reference and a bound variable pronoun, not as an anaphor. Pro, as expected, has the dual properties of the pronoun.

Previous studies on the English conative alternation have resorted to semantic constraints like “attempt”, “motion”, and “contact” on verbs and have taken Levin’s (1993: 41-42) verb classification about the alternation for granted. This study, based on authentic corpus data extracted from BYU-BNC, shows that simple semantic-constraint-based approaches are insufficient and Levin’s (1993) classification is problematic. In particular, this study shows that the verb classes that participate in the conative alternation in English can be classified in terms of entailments about change, motion, and contact and that some classes and subclasses exhibit idiosyncratic properties which cannot be captured by the previous approaches and Levin’s (1993) classification.

This article deals with the diachronic change of pseudo-clefts in which the clefted constituent, i.e. focused part, is realized as a verb, i.e. to-infinitive, bare-infinitive, -ing. (e.g. What/All he did was help/to help her. What/All he was doing was helping her.) The analysis of the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA, 1820-2009) shows that to-infinitive is the oldest construction but was not frequently used until the early 1800s from which its use rapidly increased until the early 1900s. It was then overtaken by its competitor, the bare-infinitive, in the 1950s-1970s and fell into decline. The bare-infinitive is the early 20th century innovation rarely used before then and shows a rapid rise throughout the 1900s. The occurrence of -ing is found from the early 1900s and gradually increases until now. The replacement of to-infinitive by bare-infinitive was lead by all-clefts rather than what-clefts: All-clefts are not only higher in the overall frequency but earlier in the innovative use of bare-infinitive.

Exploring the semantics of English desiderative predicates such as hope, wish, and want, this paper argues that two aspects should be considered for the proper semantic analysis of them. One is that desiderative predicates are involved in expressing different types of preferences or desires, depending on the context of use. The context-dependent characteristics can be accounted for not in terms of the semantics of propositional attitudes, a traditional semantic analysis of desideratives in the field of formal semantics, but rather in terms of Kratzer’s (1991) context-dependent approach to modality. The other aspect is that in contrast to doxastic modals, buletic modals might be used even in the situation where the agent has contradictory desires. In order to account for this, this paper proposes an alternative semantic approach to the desideratives, departing from doxastic modality. This is how we can explain their occurrence in such a conflicting situation.

This paper deals with the phonological reconstruction of Old English Palatalization in prefixed words focusing on how morphology interacts with phonology and how the phonological reconstruction can be substantially confirmed. It will be shown that the traditional descriptions of Old English Palatalization tend to oversimplify the contexts for its application and make predictions not consistent with other synchronic phonological phenomena. Once the sound values of the relevant consonants in Old English prefixed words are reconstructed, Middle English orthographic system and the alliterative convention in Old English versification, often used as major sources for the reconstruction of Old English sounds, will be explored in detail in order to evaluate the validity of the proposed phonological reconstruction.

The present study investigates the semantics involved in the L2 English article use by Korean EFL learners. The examined usage data were extracted from the researcher compiled learner corpus, the Kyungpook National University Student English Learner Corpus-Writing (KSELC-W). The importance of current research is in the fact that the investigated data was not collected through formal elicitation tasks or grammar focused activities. Therefore, the learner corpus data represent Korean EFL learners' unconscious knowledge of the English article system and their performance on timed writing sessions which did not focus on grammar. The findings reveal that Korean EFL learners do not make random misuse or overuse errors in production of English articles the and a(n) and that the patterns are in accordance with the Fluctuation Hypothesis. Additionally, results show that the semantic feature specificity effects the Korean EFL learners in the current study and provide supporting data for direct UG access underlying article choice. These results support previously reported findings by Ionin et. al. (2004, 2009) and Ko et al. (2009).

The present study aims to investigate how well Google Voice Actions, an automatic speech recognition system, recognizes Korean young English learners’ pronunciation of English words. To achieve this aim, the current study arranged for 18 Korean elementary school students to pronounce 219 English words and recorded their pronunciation. Then, the intelligibility of their pronunciation was measured using Google Voice Actions. The current study analyzed the measured intelligibility of Google Voice Actions in terms of the phonemic difficulty and familiarity the learners have with the words. The phonemic difficulty of each word was labelled as Group 1 to 5, depending on the number of difficult phonemic elements it contains. The familiarity of each word was also measured through a questionnaire. The findings revealed that the accuracy in Google Voice Actions’ recognition was closely related to the students’the phonemic difficulties and familiarity of the words. Interestingly, the pronunciation of words in Group 5 gained the highest recognition scores and that of Group 1 the second highest scores. Those of Group 2, 3, and 4 recorded lower recognition scores than the two groups. These results suggest that the more phonemic information the pronunciation of a word provides, the more relevant clues would be available for Google Voice Actions. This increases the possibility of successful search from the speech database.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of using songs for improving vocabulary acquisition and memory. A total of 19 students who are learning Korean as a second language participated in this study. They were divided into two groups; the experimental group who had their vocabulary class with the aid of a song and the control group who had the same class but without using the song. The pre-test results showed that within the two groups, there were no significant differences in the participants' knowledge of the given words. Each group had an immediate post-test right after their class. After a two-week delay of no class, they took another post-test and were given a questionnaire. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in both short-term and long-term memory between the two groups. Looking at the results, there was a significant difference in the immediate post-tests between the groups. While the use of song in vocabulary teaching did not have a considerable impact on the short-term memory of the participants, there was a significant difference found between the groups in the delayed post-tests. This indicates that the use of song has a great influence on transferring a short-term memory into a long-term memory. These findings suggest that the use of a song in teaching Korean vocabulary may aid in the acquisition and memorization of vocabulary. These would make a great contribution to developing teaching materials and learning strategies for KSL learners.
