This study investigates the claim that task-induced involvement load has an effect on vocabulary learning and examines the effect of task types and word concreteness on intentional vocabulary learning in the Korean EFL context. This study aims at testing whether productive word-focused tasks lead to equally effective vocabulary learning when the total involvement load index is equal but the distribution of index levels of each component (need, search, and evaluation) is different. The three productive word-focused task types are gap-fillig, sentence writing, and gap-filling through word transformation. In addition, in order to investigate the effect of word concreteness on vocabulary learning, two groups of target words were selected based on the level of word concreteness. In sum, the results of this study generally supported involvement load hypothesis (Laufer & Hulstijin, 2001) and test types and proficiency levels proved to be important variables that affect vocabulary learning. Moreover, the findings also indicated that word concreteness was not a major factor in vocabulary learning. The pedagogical implications and further suggestions are discussed.

This paper examined factors affecting Korean EFL learners’ word association types in their L2 mental lexicon. Specifically, vocabulary size of the learners was examined to see if it had any significant relationship with word association types. To this end, experiment procedures that included vocabulary size test and the lexical decision task as well as the word association task were conducted on 40 Korean EFL learners. Reaction time and accuracy of responding to word associations in the lexical decision task were measured. Subsequently, a correlation analysis was conducted with their vocabulary size. Additionally, learners’ word association types were analyzed based on the results of word association task. The results showed that Korean EFL learners’ vocabulary size had significant correlations with their accuracy in identifying syntagmatic and paradigmatic associations, but not in the phonological association. However, their accuracy was not correlated with reaction times. The results indicate that L2 learners’ mental lexicon is partially dependent on their vocabulary size of the target language, and it is variable depending on word association types.

기본적으로 형 음 의 삼요소를 갖추고 있는 것을 문자라 칭한다. 이러한 문자는 보통 독립 성을 갖고 단독으로 사용된다. 하지만 모든 문자가 다 독립적으로 사용되고 있는 것은 아니 다. 어떤 문자는 독립적으로는 사용되지 못하고 다른 문자와 결합하여 字素를 이루어야만 사 용될 수가 있는데, 이를 ‘비독립 자소’라 부른다. 본 논문은 不成文 字素를 포함해說文解字 540개 부수를 대상으로 문자의 단독 사용 여부에 따라 비독립 자소를 구별해 내었고, 이를 다시 字形에 따라 독체자소, 합체자소, 그리고 변이자소로 분류하였다. 그리고 이들이 어떠한 과정을 거쳐 독립 자소에서 비독립 자소로 변하게 되었는지에 대해 심층적 분석을 진행하였 다. 그래서 비독립 자소가 어떠한 형태와 유형으로 대체되었는지, 왜 그러한 현상이 생기게 되었는지 등에 대해 분석하여 ‘不成文’, ‘通假’, ‘同義 문자’, ‘後起字’, ‘字形의 변형’, ‘釋形之誤’, ‘기타’의 7가지 유형으로 분류해 내었다. 아울러 이들의 문자로서의 가치와 위상에 대해서도 논하였다.

This study investigates the effects of working memory capacity (WMC) and the types of vocabulary learning, i.e., explicit vs. implicit, on the acquisition of English multi-word verbs. For this purpose, a total of 60 middle school students, divided into two groups (control and experimental), participated in the study. The participants in the control group were taught multi-word verbs in a traditional and explicit manner, whereas the participants in the experimental group were exposed to multi-word verbs with short passages. The results manifested that both of the instructional styles had positive effects on the learners’ acquisition of multi-word verbs in the short-term. Although there was not a significant interaction between WMC and the overall scores on the immediate post-test, according to the scores on the gap-fill tasks which tested learners’ productive knowledge, there were significant differences between the low-WMC and high-WMC groups. High-WMC students learned more target multi-word verbs than low-WMC students on average. The results also showed that WMC and the two different learning types did not affect the students’ acquisition of multi-word verbs in the long-term. Further, the interaction effect between WMC and learning type in the long-term was not significant.

본 연구에서는 초등 3-4학년군 국어․사회 교과의 학습 개념 어를 표집하고 어종별 분포 양상을 분석한 다음 한국어가 제1언어가 아닌 학습자들을 위해 고빈도의 친숙하고 쉬운 밑말 어휘로 환원하여 제시하는 방안에 대해 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 초등 3-4학년군 국어 과․사회과의 2012 고시, 2017 개정 교육과정에 제시된 학습 개념 어 휘 484개를 목록화하여 그 분포를 분석하고, ‘고빈도의 초급 어휘’와 ‘의미투명도와 조어력이 높은 한자형태소’를 기준으로 하여 이를 쉽게 풀어 설명할 수 있는 유형과 방법을 제시하였다. 초등 3-4학년군의 학 습 개념어는 한자어계가 87.72%로 압도적인 비율을 차지하고 있었으 며, 이를 풀이하는 밑말은 고유어계 풀이만이 아니라 풀이가 필요 없 는 한자어계 고빈도 어휘를 포함한 풀이 방법이 제안되어야 할 필요 가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 초등 3-4학년군 비원어민 학습자를 위한 학습 개념어의 밑말의 수효와 특성을 보아 언어 간 일대일 번역을 배제하는 방식으로서 직접 풀이법, 다른 단어 제시법, 한자형태소 추론 법 등의 제시법을 제시하였다.

This paper aims to discuss the semantic types of subordinate compound words between Korean and Chinese. First, we discussed the concept of subordinate compound words, then analyzes the concept and the location of the head words in the subordinate compound words. We know that Korean is the head-final language, for the head of is at right. On the contrary, the location of the head of Chinese compound words is not fixed. There are many left-head word structure of compound words in Chinese nouns, verbs and adjectives. By analyzing the semantical structure of the compound words, most of the words are the right-head structure in both korean and Chinese. There are many left-head semantic structure of subordinate compound nouns, verbs and adjectives. By contrast, there are a little left-head semantic structure of subordinate compound verbs and adjectives. There are many same points in right-head semantic structure of subordinate compound. In chapter 4, By analyzing the specific words, we studied the semantic types of subordinate compound nouns, verbs and adjectives between Korean and Chinese. Finally, we came to the conclusion of this paper. We wish this paper will contribute to comparative Study between Korean and Chinese.
