On the nature of the dependency between a numeral and a classifier. Linguistic Research 28.3

Choi, Kiyong. 2011. On the Nature of the Dependency between a Numeral and a Classifier. Linguistic Research 28(3), 517-542. In this article, I claim that a numeral and a classifier each instantiates distinct heads and that the former has a classifier phrase as its complement in numeral classifier constructions in Korean. I also claim that in Korean, a head-final language, the surface word order between a numeral and a classifier, which is Num-Cl, is obtained via head movement of Cl to Num. When Cl is a genuine classifier, the movement is obligatory due to its clitic-like property, while when Cl is an ordinary noun with [+numerable], it is optional. (Kwangwoon University) 1

Scientists and engineers in convergence technologies in Korea: where are they going and how do they collaborate?

Today convergence technologies have become a major issue in science policy. This paper describes the current state of scientific collaboration in convergence technologies among researchers in South Korea, by conducting survey and the Social Network Analysis (SNA) with a data set of 1,095 researchers who have involved in the development of the convergence technologies. The main research findings are fivefold. First, dominant numbers of researchers are involved in convergence technology with IT because IT is recognized as the most competitive technology in Korea. Second, mobility of researchers is active in convergence technologies. Third, it is found that the researchers in convergence technologies are more productive in terms of the number of research papers per capita than those in other scientific fields. Fourth, they, however, show limited research collaboration, compared with their high productivity. Finally, the members of the network in convergence technologies are closer to each other than those in other scientific fields, but most of their collaborative relationships remain bilateral rather than triangular. Only a few researchers act as hubs, revealing that collaborative research relationship in convergence technologies in Korea is highly concentrated. At the last part, some policy recommendations to promote research collaboration in convergence technologies are discussed

[tiger2] As a standardized serialisation for ISO 24615 - SynAF

International audienceThis paper presents the application of the format to various linguistic scenarios with the aim of making it the standard serialisation for the ISO 24615 (SynAF) standard. After outlining the main characteristics of both the SynAF metamodel and the format, as extended from the initial Tiger XML format (König & Lezius, 2000), we show through a range of different language families how covers a variety of constituency and dependency based analyses.Cet article présente l'application du format pour divers scenari linguistiques dans le but de l'utiliser comme sérialisation de la norme ISO 24615 (SynAF). Après un rappel des caractéristiques principales du métamodèle de SynAF et du format , en tant qu'extension du format originel Tiger XML (König & Lezius, 2000), nous montrons au travers d'un panel de différentes familles de langues comment couvre une large gamme d'analyses syntaxiques fondées sur des constituants et sur des dépendances

Potential effects of sediment processes on water quality of an artificial reservoir in the Asian monsoon region

Sediment processes in lakes may affect water chemistry through the internal loading of phosphorus, ammonia, and sulfides released under anoxic conditions. Lake Soyang is a deep warm monomictic reservoir with a dendritic shape, located in the Asian summer monsoon region, South Korea. During summer, the lake is stratified and receives a large nutrient input via storm runoff, which forms a turbid intermediate layer with high concentrations of suspended particles. The lake water, the main inflowing stream (the Soyang River), bottom sediment, and porewater of the lake sediments were studied over a 2-year period (2012–2013). After intensive monsoon rain events, particulate organic carbon (POC), total phosphorus (TP), and turbidity were high in the inflowing water (C: 1.21 mg L−1 in June 2013) and in the metalimnion (2.8 mg L−1, 17.6 μg L−1, and 58.5 NTU, respectively in July 2013). Higher concentrations of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) were also associated with the turbid intermediate layer (37 and 8 μg L−1, respectively, in July 2013). During the summer stratification period, oxygen started to deplete in the hypoliminion (down to 0.5 mg L−1 in September 2013), and sediment became anoxic, showing negative oxidation redox potential (ORP) in core samples. Diffusion of dissolved inorganic P and ammonia from sediment to the water column can be substantial, considering the concentration difference between the porewater and hypolimnetic water. Fe and Mn were abundant in the sediment porewater at the dam site, implying inorganic nutrients and minerals are well transported along the 60 km long lake axis by the density current of storm runoff. Sulfate and reduced sulfur were larger in the porewater of the top sediment than in the lower layer of the sediment core (below 10 cm). The results show that substantial amounts of inorganic nutrients and minerals are supplied to the lake by storm runoffs during monsoon and distributed through the lake by a density current, controlling the material cycle and flux at the sediment surface

Subject Honorification in Korean: In Defense of Agr and Head-Spec Agreement

In this paper, I claim that a traditional insight that Korean subject honorification involves syntactic agreement is basically correct, contrary to Kim and Sells (2007), although I follow their position that previous accounts which are based on an [Hon] feature on a noun cannot be maintained due to numerous counterexamples. In order to capture the insight and explain the counterexamples, I propose that what is involved is agreement in terms of a [Speaker Honorification] feature under a Spec-head configuration and its interactions with some non-linguistic conventions concerning honorification. I further propose that the agreement host is not in Spec, but in head, since the feature is interpretable on -si/ø, while it is uninterpretable on a noun. This leads me to propose that -si/ø forms Agr in Korean and head-Spec agreement is involved in Korean subject honorification

Augmented Categorial Grammar with Its Computational Implementation

A grammatical system called Augmented Categorial Grammar (ACG) is proposed to construct a computationally tractable categorial grammar that can adequately treat some syntactic and semantic problems involving grammatical relations, semantic roles, control, and unbounded dependency in English and to use it in our subsequent work as a basic framework for developing situation semantics for natural languages. ACG is claimed to be a monostratal context-free grammar compatible with some current versions of phrase structure grammars. An implementation for a parsing system is presented to test the computational tractability of ACG. Its program is written in Prolog
