도심 교통섬과 도시숲 내부에서 미세먼지 농도와 영향 인자를 조사하여 숲의 미세먼지 효과를 분석하였다. 서울시 동대문구 홍릉시험림(도시숲)과 동대문구 청량리역 교차로에 조성된 숲(교통섬)에서 미세먼지 농도를 2018년 1월부터 11월까지 광산란법 기기를 적용하여 측정하였다. 연구 기간 동안 도시숲과 교통섬의 PM10 평균농도는 12.5 ㎍/㎥, 15.7 ㎍/㎥으로 나타났으며, PM2.5의 평균농도는 6.6 ㎍/㎥, 6.9 ㎍/㎥으로 나타났다. 환경부 도시대기 측정망과 도시숲 의 농도를 비교해본 결과, PM10의 저감율은 도시숲에서 66.9±28.6%, 교통섬에서 58.6±44.1%로 나타났고, PM2.5의 경우 71.3±23.0%, 64.9±31.3%로 각각 나타났다. 미세먼지 저감율의 차이는 도시숲의 규모와 구조의 차이와 관련이 있을 것이며, 풍속은 저감 요인으로 판단된다.

Sungsoo Ok and Soo-Yeon Kim. 2017. Sensitivity to D-linking Effects in Island Construction Processing by Korean Speakers. Studies in Modern Grammar 96, 109-127. Questioning across-the-board effects of islands and D-linking in wh-interrogative construction, this study presents the results of two acceptability judgement experiments where judgements of Korean native speakers for Korean wh-interrogative constructions and for English wh-interrogative constructions are provided and compared. With respect to Korean wh-questions, native Korean speakers show different acceptability patterns depending on whether wh-phrases move overtly or not. When they are scrambled, presence of islands and the D-linking feature of wh-phrase affect acceptability in Korean as if they do in English: the former degrades the acceptability while there is an increase in acceptability status in the latter. As for in-situ cases, however, D-linking rather downgrades the acceptability of the sentences. In the second experiment on English wh-questions with Korean EFL learners, there are statistically significant, but comparatively marginal, effects of island constructions and D-linking on whinterrogative judgements. These results indicate that island effects and D-linking effects are not ubiquitous with the same degree but that they do vary depending on the language type, overtness of movement, and whether the tested language is L1 or L2.

Chomsky`s (1986) theory of barriers is problematic since it attempts to explain both the CED and wh-island effects in an identical way. Ochi (1998, 1999) and Agbayani (1998, 1999) argue convincingly and independently, based on Chomsky`s (1995, fall class lectures) two-step movement hypothesis, that the CED effects should be accounted for by Move, whereas the wh-island effect should be handled by Attract. In this vein, this paper argues that the CED effects follow from Move, whereas the wh-island effect follows from Agree. In addition, it is argued that there is an Agree-Move parameter by which some languages such as Korean and Japanese tolerate Movement without Agree, against the claims of Chomsky (2000, 2001a, 2001b). As a consequence, it is shown why scrambling, unlike overt wh-movement, does not show relativized minimality effects.
