Park, Myung-Kwan and Chung, Wonil. 2018. An ERP study of ellipsis resolution in Korean. Language and Information, 22.1, 29-56. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prediction/integration of syntactic structure during sentence processing, employing the construction that allows a TP ellipsis or Sluicing-like interpretation in Korean. To this aim we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) from Korean native speakers while they read ellipsis constructions where the syntactic context allows or disallows remnants/ survivors (mis)matching with their explicit/implicit correlates in terms of Case/case (postposition) particle, also reflecting voice (mis)match between the antecedent and the ellipsis clauses. The Korean speakers were able to predict clausal syntactic structure on the basis of the antecedent clause and integrate it into the ellipsis site, thereby quickly detecting voice match/mismatch, as suggested by an ERP difference between matched and mismatched remnants/survivors neighboring the ellipsis site.

순자(荀子) 정치사상의 현대적 의미에 관한 연구

조원일 ( Cho¸ Won-il ) 한국동서철학회 2020 동서철학연구 Vol.0 No.98

순자는 도덕실천의 현실적인 가능성을 중시하였기 때문에 도덕실천을 정치영역에서 실현 시키고자 했다. 즉 안으로는 성인을 밖으로는 임금의 덕을 갖춘 사람으로 실현하고자 했던 것이다. 순자는 예(禮)의 숭상과 법도의 중시를 병용할 것을 주장했는데, 그는 “예란 정치에서 수레의 줄과 같은 것이다. 예를 바탕으로 정치를 하지 않으면, 정치는 제대로 되지 않는다.”라고 생각했기 때문에 정치는 예에 의해서 완성되는 것이지만 예에 의하지 않을 경우 망친다고 주장했던 것이다. 다른 한편으로 순자는 엄격한 형벌의 적용과 중벌을 적용해야 한다고 하는 관념을 받아들여 법에 의한 통치와 형벌에 의한 금지로 백성들 사이의 분쟁을 종식시켜야 한다고 주장했다. 순자는 성왕(聖王)을 중시했으며 왕도와 패도 역시 중시했고 아울러 이상과 현실에 대해서도 주목했다고 할 수 있다. 즉 순자의 정치사상은 유가의 가치를 더욱 빛나게 했다고 할 수 있는데, 내성으로부터 외왕(外王)에 이르는 사고체계 속에서 자신이 기획한 이상적인 국가의 구조를 제시한다. 순자는 정치사상의 무게 중심을 예의(禮義)에 의한 통치에 두어야 한다고 했다. 순자가 중시한 예의에 의한 통치는 사회의 각 구성원들이 자신의 신분과 직분에 맞는 일을 할 수 있게 만들어 결국에는 신분질서를 명확하게 구분하여 백성들을 다스릴 수 있게 되는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 직분과 신분등급의 구분을 강조함으로써 궁극적으로 사회의 안정과 질서를 유지할 수 있게 되어 결국에는 국가를 부강하게 만들 수 있게 되는 것이다. 순자의 정치사상에 대한 현대적 의의는 그가 강조한 관직을 설치하고 직분을 나눈다고 하는 건전한 문관통치 시스템에 있다고 할 수 있다. 순자는 현명한 사람을 숭상하고 유능한 인재를 등용할 것을 주장한다. 즉 순자는 군주가 유능한 인재를 채용하여 책무를 맡기는 것이 국가를 통치하는 기본적인 도리임을 강조했다. 아울러 군주에게는 직무가 있는데, 그것은 바로 관직을 설치하고 직분을 나누어 정치적 명령을 일관되게 하고 제도를 명확하게 하는 것이라고 했다. 또한 순자는 신하들에게는 제각기 직분과 권한이 있어야 한다고 주장했다. Xunzi (荀子) valued the realistic possibility of moral practice, so he wanted to implement it in the political realm. In other words, it sought to realize a sage as someone who had the virtue of his wages outside. Xunzi called for a combination of civility and the middle point of law, which he called Li (禮), as “a line of carts in the politics. If you don't do politics based on Li (禮), politics don't work." He argued that politics are completed by Li (禮), but if you don't do it according to Li (禮), you will ruin it. On the other hand, Xunzi accepted the notion that both strict punishment and severe punishment should be applied, and insisted that the conflict between people should be ended via a ban on rule and punishment by law. Xunzi valued a sage sovereign, the royal family, and ruling by force; and also the ideals and the reality. In other words, Xunzi's political ideas have further embellished the value of Confucianism, suggesting the ideal state structure he has planned in the Neisheng (內聖) was introverted to Waiwang (外王). Xunzi said the center of gravity of political thought should be placed in polite governance. Xunzi's important rule of Liyi (禮義) is that each member of society can do what is right for his or her position, and eventually can govern the people by clearly distinguishing the order of identity. By emphasizing the distinction between position and status, we can ultimately maintain stability and order in society, which will eventually make the nation stronger. The modern significance of Xunzi's political ideas can be said to lie in a sound system of civil administration, which he emphasized is to set up and share posts. Xunzi insists on the appointment of a noble and competent person. In other words, Xunzi stressed that the monarch's hiring of talented people and leaving them to take charge is the basic duty of governing the country. In addition, the monarch has a duty: to set up government posts, to divide their posts, to keep political orders consistent and to clarify the system. Xunzi also insisted that each of his servants should have his own duties and authority.

Predictive Structural Building in the Processing of Sluicing with Reflexive Resolution by Korean L2 English Learners

Korean L2 English Learners’ Processing of Sluicing Interacting with Reflexive Resolution:

Wonil Chun,Myung-Kwan Park 한국생성문법학회 2017 생성문법연구 Vol.27 No.1

In this paper we perform an online self-paced reading experiment with Korean L2 English learners to examine to what extent the L2 parser goes about predictive processing during sentence comprehension, specifically focusing on whether the parser opts for sluicing/TP-ellipsis when both sluicing and non-sluicing are potentially prospective structures. Our findings point to the fact that unlike L1 speakers investigated in Yoshida, Dickey, and Sturt (2012), L2 learners are not sufficiently attentive in real time to the structural details of the syntactic environment to predictively construct hierarchical structure for the sluiced site. Nor are they cognizant of the Binding Principle A that should play out in establishing the relation between a reflexive and its antecedent formed online in the course of sentence construction. We will also discuss the possible rationale behind L2 learners’ deficiency in predictive sentence processing and the Binding Principle A.

사업장 안전보건 환경에 따른 근로조건과 산업재해 발생

Wonil Jeong,Yongil Jeon 위기관리 이론과 실천 2014 Crisisonomy Vol.10 No.11

본 연구에서는 산업안전보건법과 산업재해발생의 연관성이라는 측면에서, 실제 사업장의 산업안전보건법의 준 수여부와 산업재해 발생의 관계를 규명하였다. 산업안전보건법은 산재의 예방을 위한 가장 기본적인 규칙으로써, 법을 이행하는 것이 산재예방의 기본이 된다는 가정에서부터 시작하여, 구체적으로 어떠한 법조항을 잘 준수하는 지, 혹은 어떠한 사업장 특성을 가진다면 산업재해가 적게 발생하는지를 살펴보았다. 주요 분석결과로써, 안전보건관리책임자를 선임(제13조)하거나 안전인증(제34조)을 받은 제품을 사용하는 등의 행동을 하거나 방호조치(제 33조)를 잘 할수록 재해발생확률이 낮아지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 채용시 교육(제31조)이 잘 될수록 재 해발생이 낮아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 한편 남성비율, 외국인비율, 고령자비율이 높을수록 산업재해 발생에 유의 한 영향을 미치는 결과를 찾을 수 있다. 결국 이러한 법조항의 준수는 근로자의 근로조건에 연결될 수 있으며, 사업장의 안전보건과 관련된 환경적인 측면에서 근로조건을 고려한 근로자의 생산성을 판단할 수 있다는 측면에 서 유용성이 있는 것으로 볼 수 있다. This study investigates the relation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Industrial accidents. Occupational Health and Safety Act is by the most basic rules for the prevention of industrial accidents. Therefore, we analyzed that what kind of Act is most important for the prevention of industrial accident. As the main results, occur industrial accidents will be lower probability to keep the Act #13 and #33, #31, #34. Furthermore, industrial accidents will be growing up when the male ratio and foreign ratio is higher than others. It can be seen that the law-abiding is to improve the productivity of workers, and it is necessary to improve the safety and health of the workplace environment. Key words: industrial accident, working condition, occupational safety and health act, occupational Safety and health survey

Processing Double Accusatives with Korean Dative/Causative Verbs: An ERP Study

Wonil Chung,Say Young Kim,Myung-Kwan Park 현대문법학회 2021 현대문법연구 Vol.111 No.-

This paper reports an ERP-based study concerning the limited productivity of the ACC + ACC subcategorization frame with Korean dative and causative verbs. This frame is compared to the unmarkedly productive DAT + ACC frame in the ERP experiment and the acceptability rating task. The results show that the double Accusatives with the two types of dative verbs expressing caused possession or caused motion recorded N400, followed by P600, while those with morphological causative verbs registered N400 only. Likewise, the double Accusatives with both dative and causative verbs were consistently rated as unacceptable in the acceptability task. We take the disconfirmed expectation of a certain Case morphology to act as an etiology of the N400 modulation. The reader expects to encounter a dative or causative verb after the DAT + ACC sequence, but the preceding ACC + ACC sequence is not compatible with such a verb after it, evoking N400 because Case encodes morpho-lexical information. Meanwhile, reduced P600 represents a severe disruption of semantic analysis, reflected by N400; dative verbs differ from causative verbs in that the former employ covert lexical feature for causation, but the latter a morphologically-overt morpheme. The upshot of this paper is that Case as an apparently grammatical relation-encoding morpho-syntactic marker serves as a cue for predicting the following word associated with it, and ERP responses to a failure in such a Case-related prediction are not confined to a late positivity but are also detected evoking negativity at posterior regions in the 250 ∼ 500 ms interval.
