Asymmetric Effects of Pronouns on L2 Acquisition of Raising

( Choe¸ Jinsun ) 한국현대언어학회 2021 언어연구 Vol.37 No.2

The Journal of Studies in Language 37.2, 213-225. This study investigates Korean-speaking learners’ comprehension of raising constructions containing an experiencer phrase. Specifically, it examines whether the type of the intervening experiencer (pronoun, lexical NP) produces a similar asymmetric effect on L2 learners’ comprehension as it does on children’s. A picture-based truth-value judgment task was conducted with one hundred Korean-speaking adults to test the comprehension of different patterns of raising constructions. The results found that the learners’ comprehension was better when a lexical NP is raised across a pronominal experiencer (e.g., John seems to her to be happy), compared to a pronoun raised across a lexical NP (e.g., He seems to Mary to be happy). These findings parallel the pattern of raising in child English and are consistent with a processing-based approach to intervention effects observed in both L1 and L2 acquisition across different constructions.

선의 편협성과 객관주의적 극복

김진선 ( Kim¸ Jinsun ) 한국윤리학회 2021 倫理硏究 Vol.134 No.1

현대 사회에서 개인의 권리가 중요하다는 인식은 이미 널리 퍼져 있다. 그러나 집단이 개인을 압도하는 일은 생각보다 흔하게 일어나고 있다. 이런 경우, ‘대의를 위하여’라는 변명은 손쉽게 나타날 수 있지만 그것이 언제나 옳은 것은 아니다. 특히 그것이 ‘선(good)’으로 강조될 경우 사람들에게 무비판적으로 수용될 수 있다. 이는 선을 편협한 것으로 만들 것이다. 여기에서는 선의 편협성을 완전성과 동질성이라는 두 개의 측면에서 살펴본다. 완전성은 개인이 추구하는 가치를 절대적인 진리나 질서와 합일하려는 데에서 드러난다고 할 수 있다. 동질성은 진리나 질서의 속성을 집단 안에서의 조화에서 찾고자 하는 경향과 관련된다. 이 연구에서는 객관주의를 토대로 선의 편협성을 비판하고 새로운 방향을 모색하고자 한다. 객관주의는 합리성을 바탕으로 목표를 이루고 자존감을 확증하는 것을 이상으로 삼는다. 객관주의가 보여주는 이런 윤리적 개인의 이상은 선에 종속되는 인간이 아닌, 선을 창조하고 그것을 자신의 삶 속에서 실천하는 인간으로 전환할 수 있는 동기를 마련해 줄 수 있을 것이다. The recognition of the importance of individual rights in modern society is already widespread. However, it is a common thing that the group overwhelms the individual. In this case, the excuse ‘for we all’ can easily arise, but it is not always right. Especially if it is emphasized as ‘good’, it can be accepted uncritically by people. This will make good narrow. Here, we look at the narrowness of good from two aspects: completeness and homogeneity. Completeness can be said to be revealed in trying to unite the values pursued by an individual with absolute-collective- truth or order. Homogeneity is related to the tendency to find the attributes of truth or order in harmony within a group. In this study, based on objectivism, I will criticize the narrowness of good and a seek a new model. Objectivism aims to achieve goals based on rationality and to affirm self-esteem. This ideal of an ethical individual shown by objectivism can provide the motivation to transform into a human being who creates goodness and practices it in their own lives, rather than being subordinated to goodness.

DIMPLE-II: Dynamic Membership Protocol for Epidemic Protocols

Jin Sun,Byung K. Choi,Kwang-Mo Jung 한국정보과학회 2008 Journal of Computing Science and Engineering Vol.2 No.3

Epidemic protocols have two fundamental assumptions. One is the availability of a mechanism that provides each node with a set of log(N) (fanout) nodes to gossip with at each cycle. The other is that the network size N is known to all member nodes. While it may be trivial to support these assumptions in small systems, it is a challenge to realize them in large open dynamic systems, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Technically, since the most fundamental parameter of epidemic protocols is log(N), without knowing the system size, the protocols will be limited. Further, since the network churn, frequently observed in P2P systems, causes rapid membership changes, providing a different set of log(N) at each cycle is a difficult problem. In order to support the assumptions, the fanout nodes should be selected randomly and uniformly from the entire membership. This paper investigates one possible solution which addresses both problems; providing at each cycle a different set of log(N) nodes selected randomly and uniformly from the entire network under churn, and estimating the dynamic network size in the number of nodes. This solution improves the previously developed distributed algorithm called Shuffle to deal with churn, and utilizes the Shuffle infrastructure to estimate the dynamic network size. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is evaluated by simulation. According to the simulation results, the proposed algorithms successfully handle network churn in providing random log(N) fanout nodes, and practically and accurately estimate the network size. Overall, this work provides insights in designing epidemic protocols for large scale open dynamic systems, where the protocols behave autonomically.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of professional quality of life among hospital nurses in the effects of workplace bullying, social support and resilience on retention intention. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 414 hospital nurses who worked for at least two months at a general hospital in the Seoul metropolitan area. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 23.0/AMOS 22.0 programs and employed reliability verification, descriptive statistics include frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and bootstrapping. Results: As a result of the study's structural modeling verification, workplace bullying had a negative effect, social support had a positive effect, resilience had a positive effect on professional quality of life, and professional quality of life had a positive effect on retention intention. Also, workplace bullying, social support, and resilience did not directly impact on retention intention. However, the professional quality of life had a complete mediating effect in the relationships between workplace bullying, social support, resilience and retention intention. The study results verified the mediating effect of professional quality of life affecting the retention intention. Conclusion: In order to improve professional quality of life and retention intention, strategies to prevent workplace bullying and promote social support and resilience are needed.

Background: Adverse drug reactions to tuberculosis(TB) drugs are common and increase unsuccessful treatment outcomes. Hypersensitivity reactions to TB drug are important and common adverse drug reactions. Little has been studied on this issue. Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the clinical data of TB patients with drug hypersensitivity reactions to TB drugs which were demonstrated by drug challenge tests at Chonnam National University Hospital between January 2011 and April 2016. Results: In this study we enrolled a total of 2347 TB patients treated with TB drugs during the study period. Of these patients, 339 patients (14.4 %) had suspected hypersensitivity reactions to TB drugs, and among them hypersensitivity reactions were demonstrated by drug challenge tests in 33 patients (9.7%). Of the 33 patients, 19 patients (57.6%) had single drug hypersensitivity reactions and 14 patients (42.4%) multiple drug hypersensitivity reactions. The median number of TB drugs in multiple drug hypersensitivity reactions was 2.5 (interquartile range, 2.0-3.0). With regard to the causative drugs, rifampin and ethambutol were most common in both single (n=9 [47.4%] concerning rifampin and n=8 [42.1%] concerning ethambutol) and multiple TB drug hypersensitivity reactions (n=9 [64.3%] concerning both drugs). Common clinical manifestations included eosinophilia (72.7%), skin rashes (66.7%), and itching sense (39.4%). Conclusions: Hypersensitivity reactions to TB drugs are common and frequently caused by multiple drugs. Rifampin and ethambutol were the most common drugs causing the reactions.

Intervention Effects in the Comprehension of English Raising Constructions by Korean Learners

Jinsun Choe 한국언어학회 2016 언어 Vol.41 No.4

This paper investigates how Korean learners of English comprehend English raising constructions with a fronted experiencer (e.g., To Mary, John seems to be happy). Previous work on the acquisition of raising has shown that raising constructions pose a challenge not only to L2 learners but even to early L1 learners. However, L1 acquisition studies have recently found that there are cases in which this difficulty is considerably alleviated - for example, by moving the experiencer to the beginning of the sentence. This study therefore examines whether the position of the experiencer has the same (facilitating) effect on L2 learners" comprehension of English raising constructions as it does on L1 comprehension. A total of fifty-five Korean college EFL learners participated in a Truth-Value Judgment Task that tested their comprehension of raising constructions, and the results showed that they were significantly better at comprehending the construction with a fronted experiencer than the one with an intervening experiencer. Such findings parallel the pattern of raising acquisition in L1 English, indicating the presence of intervention effects in both L1 and L2 acquisition.

L2 Acquisition of English Copy-Raising Constructions by Korean Learners

Jinsun Choe 담화·인지언어학회 2019 담화와 인지 Vol.26 No.2

This study investigates L2 learners’ comprehension of English copy-raising constructions containing an experiencer (e.g., Susan seems to Mary like she is a nice person), in which the subject of the matrix clause is coreferential with the embedded pronominal subject, and there lies an intervening experiencer between the matrix verb and the embedded clause. Previous research has shown that L2 learners, like L1 children, have difficulty comprehending the canonical raising construction (e.g., John seems to Mary to be happy), and that the copy-raising construction also poses a challenge for L1 children. The present study gathers and analyzes data from twenty-eight native Koreanspeaking learners of English who participated in a Truth-value judgment task. The results showed the learners’ poor performance on the copy-raising construction. In particular, the learners were consistently making incorrect choices by interpreting the referent of the embedded pronoun to be the referent of the experiencer. This finding suggests that the copy-raising construction presents a similar challenge to L2 learners, as does the canonical raising construction. These results are discussed in terms of intervention effects which may not be limited to the canonical raising pattern but may be generalized to include various types of constructions, including the copy-raising pattern.

L2 Learners’ Resolution of PRO in English Control Constructions

Jinsun Choe 담화·인지언어학회 2020 담화와 인지 Vol.27 No.1

This paper explores how Korean-speaking English learners comprehend control constructions in English. Specifically, it aims to look at how they resolve different types of PRO: PRO in adjunct control (e.g., John met Mary after tripping on the sidewalk), PRO in subject control (e.g., Tom promised Bill to join the club), and PRO in object control (e.g., Kelly told Wendy to leave the room). A total of one hundred and five L2 learners participated in a multiple-choice task, in which they were asked to choose the antecedent of the null infinitival subjects in English control constructions. The results revealed that the learners showed a fairly good performance on all types of PRO, while the best performance was shown for object control sentences, followed by adjunct control and subject control sentences where there was no difference between the two. These findings are discussed in terms of interference effects observed in first/second language acquisition and processing as well as the influence of the learners’ first language, Korean.
