This paper examines 14 significant early editions of the Bible in Chinese (four versions), Korean (seven versions), English (two versions), and one Greek source, focusing on 220 proper nouns (personal and place names) appearing in the Acts of the Apostles to summarize the general trends in translations and transliterations, and introduces several illustrative examples from the analysis. The findings reveal that, among Chinese and Korean Bible translations, proper nouns often correspond without significant discrepancies between translations and transliterations, especially in cases involving high-frequency words (e.g., Asia, Jerusalem, Jesus, Moses, Rome). Influences from etymological sources such as Hebrew, Greek, and Latin (e.g., Jupiter, Zeus), and differences arising from the approach to handling proper nouns, whether through transliteration or translation (e.g., Libertines vs. Free Men; Mount of Olives), were noted. Additionally, variations among Chinese versions, observed in the translation of certain proper nouns due to the selection of specific Chinese characters (e.g., Asia), were identified. This paper sets the stage for future comprehensive studies into the complexities and diversities of biblical translation across cultural backgrounds, with a focus on lexicon and phonology, by outlining general trends and specific instances.

본문은 최근 중국어 연구에서 화두로 떠오르는 ‘양범주’ 이론을 통해, 품사분류의 기준으로 작용하는 의미범주나 어법범주가 어떻게 양화(量化)되어 나타나는지를 명 사의 속성 대립을 통해 간략히 고찰해 보았다. 본래 ‘양범주’ 분석은 실사의 속성을 기반으로 범주를 분석한 것으로, 명사의 공간성과 동사의 시간성, 그리고 형용사의 정도성을 제시하고 있다. 중국어에서는 개별 단어의 품사 경계가 모호함으로, 본문에 서 제시하는 명사의 양범주는 구문에서 체언으로 기능하는 성분이 어떻게 양화(量 化)되어 명사성을 드러내는지를 의미와 기능으로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 또 체언의 속 성 양범주인 공간성을 구성하는 ‘공간량’과 ‘물량’이 실제 구문에서 어떻게 인지되는 지를 ‘방위사와 ‘양사’의 대비분석을 통해 접근해 보았다.

This study examines the types and usage of abbreviations of foreign proper nouns used in media articles based on a basic understanding of Korean abbreviations, and seeks to identify the effects of their use. Abbreviations of foreign proper nouns are widely used for reasons of economy, ease of identification, and to facilitate the provision of information. There are two types of abbreviations. Romanized abbreviations are characterized by strong economy and identifiability but have difficulty conveying meaning, and they also distinguish the social classes of speakers by their knowledge of loan words or understanding of foreign languages, thereby threatening to undermine social integration. In contrast, abbreviations translated into Korean have the advantage of easily conveying meaning and not hindering language accessibility, but they are weak in identifiability and their number remains exceedingly small. The reason for the excessive use of Romanized abbreviations by the government and media seems to be that no provision for Korean translation abbreviations was made earlier. It is necessary to create and publicize Korean abbreviations widely, as well as create good Korean translation terms with the introduction of foreign proper nouns into Korean.

The combining 'adverb+noun' in Chinese sentence has been regarded as a special case which break a regular grammar rule. Regardless its conception, the combination is used frequently, and further it make a new grammar rule for itself. Based on this context, various scholars have been arguing its suitability about whether accepting new grammar rule in Chinese or not. The present study aimed two things: first, as historical approach, 'adverb+noun' was analyzed based on its birth, usual usage patterns, and types of adverb+noun used for the combination. Second, as grammar perspectives, syntax and pragmatics of the combination were articulated. As conclusion, this study discussed the direction and tips for teaching this sentence structure for accomplishing efficient pedagogical purposes.

The present study investigates the use of signaling nouns (SNs) in published and Korean graduate student academic writing in applied linguistics. A set of 35 nouns was examined for their frequency as SNs, while the six most frequent SNs in published writing were subjected to detailed analyses of realization patterns. The results indicated that the nouns function as SNs in fifteen percent of the time of their total use and that students overall used a greater number of SNs than did published authors. Despite considerable overlap in the most frequent SNs, there was evidence that students rely on a narrower range of SNs than published writers. Published authors were differentiated from students in employing more anaphoric SNs, which contributed to cohesiveness and organization of text through the effective encapsulation of the preceding stretch of discourse. This study challenges the previous claim that the frequency of SNs positively correlates with the writing proficiency. Some pedagogical implications are drawn for academic writing instruction.

This paper is about the classification and systematization of Japanese spatial nouns. The three types of frame of reference proposed by Levinson (1996), classifies whole static spatial arrays in the following way: (i) Intrinsic frames of reference (not discussed here), (ii) Absolute frames of reference (not discussed here), and (iii) Relative frames of reference (discussed here). We could classify spatial nouns into two major classes; territory (dimension 2, 3)-oriented and direction (dimension 1)-oriented nouns. The territory-oriented nouns concern a territory of the reference object. The direction-oriented nouns concern the direction of a location with respect to the reference object, such as “X no migi (the right of X)”, “X no temae (in front of X)” and so on. And territoryoriented spatial nouns are further classified into three subclasses: designating internal location of the reference object (internal), designating a location apart from the reference object (external), and designating a location on shape of the reference object (boundary).

본 논문에서는 문법적 관용표현 속에 관형사형어미 ‘ㄴ,은,는,ㄹ,을’ 과 의존명사의 결합 양상을 고찰하였다. 그들 간의 결합 양상을 크게 세 가지로 나누어 각각 자세히 다루었고, 해당 관형사형어미 앞의 품사와 시제의 제약에 대해서도 함께 검토하였다. 이를 통해 관형사형어미‘ㄴ,은,는,ㄹ,을’과 의존명사의 결합에 대한 논리를 분석하여 그들의 결합 여부가 언어 습관에 달려 있기도 하고 해당 관용표현의 의미에 달려 있기도 하다는 점을 제시하였다. 의존명사 앞에 ‘ㄴ,은,는,ㄹ,을’이 다 나올 수 있는 관용표현은 다소 복잡한데, 이런 관용표현에 대한 의미적, 시제적 양상을 따로 분석하였다.
