An Accurate Approximation of Frequency Selective Nakagami-m Fading for OFDM System Analysis

ChiSung Bae,Dong-Ho Cho IEEE 2011 IEEE communications letters Vol.15 No.11

<P>Abstract-We propose an approximation method for the channel impulse response of a specific OFDM subcarrier over frequency-selective Nakagami-m fading. Using fading figure matching as a basis, we show that a frequency domain channel can be approximated by Nakagami-q (Hoyt) and Nakagami-n (Rice) models. The proposed approximation scheme is accurate in that the approximated envelope distribution is almost optimum in terms of Cramer-von-Mises criterion, simple in that the fading parameters are explicit functions of the fading parameters of the frequency-selective channel.</P>

Stakeholder framing, communicative interaction, and policy legitimacy: Anti-smoking policy in South Korea

( Chisung Park ),( Jooha Lee ) 한국정책학회 2019 한국정책학회 추계학술발표논문집 Vol.2019 No.-

Since the emergence of the argumentative turn in critical policy studies, increasing attention has been paid to the crucial role that language, context, and communicative practices play in the policy process. This study aims to investigate communicative interaction between political elites and policy stakeholders in South Korea with a focus on anti-smoking policy in two different administrations: the Roh administration (2003-2008) and the Park administration (2013-2017). As a theoretical base, it proposes the demand-oriented approach to legitimacy which incorporates policy frame analysis with the notion of a three-tier policy structure (i.e.,policy goals, policy tools, and tool settings). In assessing policy legitimacy, the demand-oriented approach examines whether there is congruence between the three-tier policy structure and the corresponding stakeholder framing. In the Roh administration, policy frames among the three tiers of policy structure centered on public health promotion, whereas in the Park administration, they expanded to the domain of tax policy. The empirical findings lead us to understand the importance of two-way communication between the government and stakeholders, which can be evidenced using policy frame analysis. If there is no hidden or pre-determined policy intention that could be detected by stakeholder framing, policy legitimacy is more likely to be guaranteed.

Identifying Policy Frames Using Semantic Network Analysis

Chisung Park(박치성),Junseok Lee,Doosan Paik 한국정책분석평가학회 2019 한국정책분석평가학회 학술대회발표논문집 Vol.2019 No.4

The case study demonstrates the identification and changes of policy frames in major countries as the policy context changes. This research has important implications for extracting policy frames from texts through semantic networks. Specifically, we want to share the researchers’ concerns about how to code texts, how to identify subgroups, and how to reconstruct subgroups into policy frames. Readers are expected to gain better understanding of the usefulness of semantic network analysis in constructing policy arguments. This case discusses issues which could arise when disassembling the texts (i.e., constructing co-occurrence matrix), network analysis techniques needed for frame analysis (i. e., centrality and modularity analysis), and the processes to identify policy frames.

Topic Acceptability Scale and Topic Constructions in Korean

Chisung Oh 한국중앙영어영문학회 2013 영어영문학연구 Vol.55 No.3

Based on two cognitive categories, activation and identifiability, Lambrecht (1994) distinguishes four different types of discourse referents, i.e. active, accessible, inactive, unidentifiable, which represent different mental representation of those referents in the minds of the speaker and addressee, and he suggests the topic acceptability scale, which states that there is a general correlation between the activation and identifiability states of topic referents and the pragmatic acceptability of sentences. According to the scale, the most easily acceptable sentences are those whose topics are active since the mental cost to process active topics is low, and the degree of acceptability decreases in the following order: accessible, inactive and unidentifiable topics. In fact, unidentifiable referents cannot be topics since it is impossible because the addressee has to interpret the proposition of a sentence which is about something he cannot even identify. The main purpose of this paper is to show how topics in different activation/identifiability states are expressed in Korean, and it is shown that topic referents belonging to different activation/ identifiability states adopt different strategies to be expressed as topics. Active topics, which are assumed to be the most easily accepted, are generally expressed as zero pronouns and bare NPs, which requires the minimum amount of mental cost to process them. Accessible referents, which are frequently used as topics in Korean, show that they need the marker -nun to be expressed as topic. Finally, Korean uses the marker -nun or the maliya construction to encode inactive topics.

Bare Plural Objects in English

Chisung Oh 한국중앙영어영문학회 2011 영어영문학연구 Vol.53 No.4

The main purpose of this paper is to provide an account of why in certain environments bare plural objects get a generic interpretation and what the semantic core of their genericity is. Generally, bare plurals have been regarded as having two different interpretations (i.e. generic and existential), and nor only in subject position but in direct object position bare plurals show this difference. There are two kinds of verbs that can have generic bare plural objects (i.e. individual-level predicates and habitual verbs), so proper theory must give an account of generic objects of both kinds of verbs. In this paper, I present two major types of previous approaches that deal with the problem of generic bare plural objects in terms of syntactic information and semantic roles respectively, and I point out each approach has its own problems. Adopting the notion of possible worlds and intensionality as relevant factors, I provide a fundamental explanation about the genericity of bare plural objects. Furthermore, it is also shown that the notion of possible worlds gives us a way to deal with generic objects of individual-level predicates and habitual verbs in a unified way.

Language,Education : Verbal Conjunctions in Korean , English and Japanese

( Chisung Oh ) 경희대학교 비교문화연구소 2013 比較文化硏究 Vol.32 No.-

This paper compares sequential and non-sequential verbal conjunctions in Korean, English, and Japanese by looking at how sequential verbal conjunction is treated in each language. It frist reviews verbal conjunctions in Korean, where sequential conjunction is treated as subordination and non-sequential conjunction is treated as coordination, and looks at verbal conjunctions in English and Japanese to see whether or not sequential conjunction in those languages is subordination. According to Oh (2012), sequential and non-sequential conjunctions in Korean behave quite differently with respect to the tense and negation in the final conjunct. Also, Cho (1995, 2005) and Kwon (2004) show that syntactic operations such as extraction and scrambling clearly distinguish sequential conjunction from non-sequential conjunction. The purpose of this paper is to see how sequential and non-sequential conjunctions are analyzed in English and Japanese and to compare those languages with Korean, especially focusing on whether or not sequential conjunctions in English and Japanese are treated as subordination. For this purpose, I first investigate how tense and negation, which provided crucial evidence for concluding that Korean sequential conjunction is subordination, is interpreted in sequential and non-sequential verbal conjunctions in English and Japanese. Also, I investigate the syntactic properties of sequential and non-sequential conjunctions with respect to syntactic operations such as extraction and scrambling in those languages. The results of the investigation show that in Japanese, which is considered typologically similar to Korean, the sequential conjunction is a case of subordination, while in English, which is considered typologically different from Korean, both sequential and non-sequential conjunctions are treated as coordination.
