Two stage-corpora of the newspaper LianHe ZaoBao from 2005-2008 (6678,6564 characters) and from 2018-2020 (3308,2690 characters) were collected and were used for Chinese characters statistics by the Huayu Research Center at Jinan University. Chinese character Species used in the two stage-corpora are 7004 and 6166 respectively. Chinese characters beyond the General Standard Chinese Character List in the mainland are 952 and 621 respectively, and the proportions of off-list characters are 13.59% and 10.07% respectively. The proportion of non-universal standardized Chinese characters decreased by 3.52 percentage points, indicating that Chinese characters used in the rear stage of LianHe ZaoBao are more consistent with those in mainland China. The Statistics, recording and sorting of the Chinese characters used in LianHe ZaoBao will help us understand the current Chinese characters ecology in Singapore and understand the commonalities and differences of Chinese characters between China mainland and Singapore. Based on the survey, we can explore the feasibility, methods and scope of the Chinese characters differences between Singapore and the mainland, as well as the strategies of compiling global Chinese dictionaries and further thinking about cross-border Chinese characters coordination.

이 글은 싱가포르 화교 언어공동체에서 최근 ‘구어 싱가포르 영어’, 즉 싱글리시(Si nglish)와 ‘표준 싱가포르 영어’의 우세 속에서 중국어가 경험하고 있는 위상의 변화를 사회언어학적 관점에서 서술하는 것이 목적이다. 싱가포르의 화교 언어공동체에서는 표준중국어와 기타 중국계 언어들, 싱다린(Singdarin) 등 다양한 중국어가 사용 되고 있다. 싱가포르, 특히 싱가포르의 화교 언어공동체의 다중언어사용은 세계 시민이자 싱가포르인, 화인(華人)으로서의 하이브리드 정체성과 관련을 맺고, 각각의 언어들은 다층적인 정체성 위계를 나타내는 정체성 표지이다. ‘2020년 인구센서스’가 보여주듯이, 최근 싱가포르에서 영어의 확산과 중국어의 위축 추이는 명확하다. 싱가 포르에서 이민자들의 언어인 중국어는 더 이상 지배적인 언어가 아니고, 화교 언어 공동체의 대부분의 아이들은 지배적인 언어인 영어와 함께 성장하면서 영어를 능통하게 구사하지만 중국어를 유창하게 구사하는 이들은 일부에 불과하다. 싱가포르에서 중국어는 점점 유산어의 성격을 띠고 있다.

지리적 위치를 차지한 싱가포르는 외교 정책을 바꾸어 대국 간 의 균형 을 유지 해 왔 고 무역 친중 정치 친미의 '대독 전략'을 채택해왔다. 2016년은 싱가포르 대중 국 정책을 조정 한해였고 중미 무역 충돌과 전염병 상황의 영향을 받아 싱가포르 대중국 정책도 새로운 도전에 직면 했다. 현재의 국제 환경에 빨리 적응하기 위해 싱가포르는 대중국 정책을 점차적으로 조정하고 대중국의 우호를 계속 증진 시킨다. 본고는 싱가포르가 향후 유행기에 중국 외교정책에 대한 변화 추세를 분석하는데 중심을 두고 있다.

The Straits of Malacca and Singapore is without hesitation, a vital sea lane of communication with the geographical advantage of linking the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Geographically, the Straits of Malacca and Singapore is shallow and fairly narrow on its eastern part and has created one of the most important traffic choke points in the world. Being a crucial sea-lane has experience the Straits with high density of vessel traffic. The increase in shipping activities has risen the challenge in safety of navigation and marine environmental protection problem which generally end up with huge financial losses for the seafarers and damages to the marine environment. Owing significant limitations in the geographical landscape, this article has primary objectives to examine how navigational safety and marine environment can be effectively protect using existing regulatory instruments. This article provides a review and analysis of existing laws and regulations to assess the status of navigational safety for marine environmental protection in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. The article also evaluates potential strategies to this problem using insights from literature. The article finds out that the littoral States to the Straits of Malacca and Singapore should adopt more forward-looking perspective in the formulation of legal measures to enhance navigational safety for marine environmental protection. The article finally suggests the potential strategies for navigational safety and marine environmental protection in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. This will help in setting priorities for future efforts in improving navigational safety for marine environmental protection with regard to international and regional initiatives.

This paper presents a study on motivating and demotivating factors in learning Korean. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the learning motivation and demotivation of university students in Singapore taking Korean as unrestricted elective, and investigate what differences exist in the motivating and demotivating factors based on their Korean levels. Through the analysis of surveys on university students in Singapore, it was found that their major motivating factors were the travel orientation and the cultural interest. These motivating factors did not show any difference depending on the Korean levels. The major demotivating factors of Korean learners were the evaluation factor and the language factor. By interpreting open-ended responses, the competition factor was found as a demotivating factor. In addition, the competition factor and the language factor showed differences between the first level and the second level and above. This study suggests to motivate Korean learners by applying the major motivating factors to a class and weakening the major demotivating factors.

The impending British exit (Brexit) from the European Union has placed the UK’s investment policy at a crossroads. A post-Brexit UK will now have to reorganise its investment relationships with its economic partners through bespoke UK IIAs. This exercise will have to accommodate the shifting zeitgeist concerning the balance of investors’ rights and the right to regulate IIAs that is expected. This paper examines the continued relevance of the recently minted Investment Protection Chapter in the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, acknowledged by Britain’s power brokers, as a persuasive model for the UK to emulate for this purpose. This is notwithstanding the uncertainties that now surround the implementation and efficacy of the Agreement in light of Brexit and a pending decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union. Such emulation would ultimately make for a better Investor-State Dispute Settlement System in the UK IIAs by providing a much needed update to its old investment treaty architecture.

There are approximately 116 straits used for international navigation around the world. Some of them are important international maritime chokepoints, namely the Dover Strait, Hormuz Strait, Straits of Malacca and Singapore and the Russian straits across the Northeast Arctic Passage. Due to the high number of navigational traffic going through these straits, vessel-source pollution is endemic in these waters. This article examines the applicable international legal framework on protection of the marine environment of straits used for international navigation such as Part XII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other related legal measures like International Maritime Organization conventions on protection of the marine environment. This article concludes by stating that the present framework is not sufficient in properly balancing two vital interests in the maritime world – protection of the marine environment vis-à-vis shipping.

본 연구는 한국과 싱가포르 종업원들의 상사, 동료, 부하에 대해 느끼는 집단주의 성향이 그들의 조직 몰입에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. Hofstede(2001)와 House et al.(2004)의 연구에 따르면 두 국가는 문화적으로 집단주의 성향이 높고 그 수준도 상당히 유사하다. 또한 두 국가는 동아시아권에 속하 며 유교사상에 바탕을 두고 있다는 공통점이 있다. 하지만 사회․경제적 관점에서 보았을 때, 두 국가는 인종, 민족정서, 국민경제수준, 실업률 등에서는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이 러한 유사한 문화적 측면과 이질적인 사회․경제적 측면의 관점에서 집단주의 성향과 조직몰입의 관계 및 수준을 살펴보고자 한다. 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상사에 대한 집단주의는 한국과 싱가포르 두 국가 모두 종업원들의 조직몰입과 정의 관계를 나타냈다. 하지만 동료에 대한 집단주의 성향은 한국에서만 정서적 몰입과 정의 관계를 보였다. 또한 예상한 바와 달리 부하에 대한 집단주의 성향은 한국 종업원들의 정서적, 근속적 몰 입과 부의 관계를 나타냈다. 싱가포르에서는 동료나 부하에 대한 집단주의 성향과 조직몰입은 유의한 관 계를 나타내지 않았다. 둘째, 유교사상에 기반하고 있는 두 국가에서 윗사람, 즉 상사에 대한 집단주의 성향은 종업원들의 정서적, 근속적, 규범적 몰입 세 가지 차원 모두와 정의 관계를 나타냈다. 셋째, 상대적 으로 실업률이 낮아 이직이 용이한 싱가포르 종업원들은 한국에 비해 조직 내 구성원들에 대한 집단주의 성향 수준이나 개인의 조직몰입 수준이 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 실증분석결과는 다국적기업 의 인사관리정책 실무자나 관리자들에게 한국과 싱가포르 종업원들에 대한 차별적인 시사점을 제공한다.

This study examines the Singapore public housing supplied by Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) in the 1950s. Focused on the Princess Elizabeth estate and Princess estate of Queenstown, this study surveys their construction backgrounds, site plans, unit plans, architectural designs and meanings. The Princess Elizabeth estate was the model estate for workmen’s flats. This estate showed mixed blocks of flats arranged around a large quadrangled open space for children. The Princess estate was a neighborhood of Queenstown, Singapore’s the first new town. At this Estate, there were some new architectural occurrences departing from the Tiong Bahru Estate. Those are the appearance of high-rise typology, and the increased specificity in the functions of open spaces. Thus the open space became to get hierarchy, and divided an estate to small neighborhood units. For the SIT, open space is synonymous with the improvement of urban environment. Through the purposeful creation of open space, the SIT intended to solve the problem of sanitation and to make a neighborhood unit which can be pleasant place for regional community.

Four Characters in popular form which are dan(疍), gou, liu and yi(㕥), are centrally focused in Business advertisement in Singapore Lat Pau（《叻報》）. We sort out the grapheme in literature diachronically and compar with standard characters so as to know the inheritance and variation through some Chinese characters cases.

언어의 사용과 접촉은 아동의 언어 학습과 발전에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 싱가 폴의 미취학 아동들에게 어떤 언어가 더 많은 영향을 미치는가를 정확히 이해하기 위해서, 본문은 특히 중국어 한자 습득을 주요 논제로 삼았다. 본 연구는 아동의 특정 상황 속에서 사용하는 언어 사용으로부터 중국어를 사용하는 성인의 접촉 빈 도, 중국어 사용 환경 시간의 길고 짧음, 아동이 이용할 수 있는 읽기와 쓰기 도구 정도 등의 여러 조건을 설정하고, 싱가폴 미취학 아동들의 중국어 한자 능력을 관 찰해 보았다. 설문조사와 분석의 결과는 미취학 아동들의 한자 능력을 개선의 여지 가 있으며, 우리에게 현재 시행되는 미취학 아동들을 대상으로 한 기관과 가정 교 욱의 현황과 실천을 재검토할 수 있는 기회를 제공해 주었다. 본문의 말미에는 싱 가폴 미취학 아동들의 중국어 한자 교육에 대한 반성과 새로운 대안을 제시하였다.

Early 20th century Singapore was faced with the problem of overcrowding. The attendant problems of a rapid increase in population density, namely the lack of proper housing and sanitation, resulted in the issue of an appropriate residential environment emerging as an important task in urban planning. It was necessary to construct housing estates in order to solve this issue. At that time, the British colonial government attempted to transplant modern technology into the construction process of a residential complex system. However, Singapore’s climate and traditional lifestyle made it impossible to apply the British modern system in a straightforward manner, and in the process, a number of transformations emerged. With a specific focus on the Tiong Bahru estate, one of Singapore’s representative public housing projects, from the 1930s through the 1950s, this study intends to look at the way in which such residential estates were assimilated into local surroundings, and the effect of the transplantation of British concepts of modern housing theory. Therefore, the study is divided into an examination of the estate both before and after the turning point of World War II. This study confirms that the difference between the pre-war and post-war planning strategies for the Tiong Bahru estate were made according to the concept of ‘open space.’

The scope of the maintenance of international peace and security has been increasingly widened by the United Nations Security Council in response to actions taken not only by the Member States but also in some cases by the individuals. In fact, a range of actions and decisions were taken by the Security Council, approximately in the late 1990s and after the so-called 9/11 attacks in the context of combating terrorism, as well as in other contexts against the member States. In consequence, the affected States and individuals had to seek redress from international or national courts on different grounds such as violations of human rights. This has led the domestic courts to develop novel jurisprudence. Thus, it is necessary to pay due attention to the jurisprudence created by these courts. This paper is devoted to analysis an interpretation by the High Court of Singapore in relation to sanctions resolutions of the Security Council against Iran.

The aim of this study is to establish the activities which are relevant and meaningful to spectators of the Singapore and Korean F1 Grand Prix by examining their blogs. The results revealed the differences of major categories between Singapore and Korea.

싱가폴은 사회 언어 환경의 변화로 인해 2004년과 2011년 두 차례의 대규모 중 국어 교육상 변화가 있었으며, 이는 “적게 가르치고 많은 것을 학습하자”에서 “즐 겁게 학습하고 실제 생활에 잘 적용하자”라는 방향으로 이루어졌다. 필자가 생각 하기에 이는 교수 전략상 매우 중요한 계기가 되었으나, 싱가폴에서의 중국어 한 자 교육의 핵심 문제인 “무엇을 학습하는가”(자종의 문제), “얼마나 학습하는가” (자량의 문제), “어떻게 학습하는가”(자서의 문제)에 대해서는 여전히 해결되지 않았다고 생각한다. 본문은 2007년 싱가폴에서 출판된 『小學華文』12권의 교재 중 핵심 단원 부분과 방과 후 독서 수업교재로 사용되는 『記憶像一個箱子』, 보충 교재인 『新朋友』, 『新天地』, 『新列車』등의 대표적 독해 읽기 자료, 중국어 신문인 『聯合早報』중의 국제, 국내, 교육 기사를 중심으로 한자의 빈도수를 조사하고, 이러한 네 종의 자료를 이용하여 코퍼스 데이터베이스를 구축하며, 이를 자종, 자량, 자서, 누적률, 누적빈도율 등의 방법으로 각 읽기 독해 자료의 통계를 작성하고, 분석하여 연구를 진행하였 다. 이를 토대로 현재의 싱가폴 소학교에서 사용되고 있는 교재에서 학습하는 한자 가 현재 싱가폴에서 실제 사용되고 있는 언어의 사용현상과 일치하지 않는 것을 발견할 수 있었으며, 이를 토대로 어떻게 하면 싱가폴에서 사용되는 초등학교용 한자 학습 교재가 더욱 특색화, 과학화, 합리화, 시스템화될 수 있는지에 대해 논의하 면서, 『어린이용 고빈도 한자표(兒童高頻字表)』를 제시하여 이를 교재에 실제 사용 할 것과, 다시 이를 학습의 순서에 따라 『어린이 상용한자표(兒童常用字表)』를 제작하여 이를 “滾動式” 한자교육법과 융합시키고자 하였다. 이를 통해 학생들은 더욱 흥미롭게 한자를 학습할 수 있으리라 생각하며, 이것이 싱가폴 교육부가 큰 목소리로 주장하고있는 “즐거운 학습”이라는 교육이념과 “실제 생활에 잘 사용하 자”라는 교학법 주장에 부응하는 것이라 생각한다.

Singapore changing social language environment has brought about two major reforms to the Chinese language education namely “teach less and learn more”and “making learning interesting and more relevant” .The objective is to motivate pupils to learn more and encourage the capable pupils to help the weaker pupils in the learning process. However, the author believes that this reform is just a breakthrough in teaching strategies, but the core problem is not resolved. The primary school Chinese literacy teaching in Singapore has not been resolved which include 3 basic aspects like word types, word content and word order. In this thesis, the author focuses on word frequency survey taken from the following: (1) 12 core units in the primary school Chinese text books from the Singapore Ministry of Education. (2) Reading books which are widely used by Singapore primary school “Memory is like abox”. (3)The front page of the auxiliary publications including "New Friends", “New World ", "New Train ”. (4) The front page of the Singapore Chinese newspaper "Lianhe Zaobao" which includes international, domestic and educational information. Based on the word species, the amount of words, word order and coverage of the four databases, statistics are compiled, analyzed and researched. It’s noted that the current Chinese language literacy teaching in Singapore primary schools is not so adequate. The literacy teaching materials in Singapore can be made more adequate by making them more featured, more scientific , reasonable and systematic. The author proposes the creation of two unique charts relevant to the Singapore children. Firstly "children’s high-frequency words” chart to be used for literacy teaching materials and secondly“ children’s common usage words” chart to integrate with literacy teaching using' rolling strategy' and put it into the lesson plan design process, so that learning is made more interesting .This goes hand in hand with the Ministry of Education promotion "making learning interesting and more relevant” .
