A Base-generated Approach to Why-Stripping in English

Eun-Jung Yoo 한국언어학회 2014 언어 Vol.39 No.4

Yoo, Eun-Jung. 2014. A Base-generated Approach to Why-Stripping in English. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 39-4, 921-943. Recently, Yoshida et al. (2014) propose a movement-plus-ellipsis analysis of the Why-Stripping construction with base-generation of why in the clause initial position. While agreeing with the idea of base-generated why in this construction, this paper argues that Yoshida et al. have a number of limitations, especially with respect to the clausal ellipsis requirement and the analysis of Stripping constructions with other adverbials. In this paper, a non-movement, non-ellipsis based analysis of the construction will be proposed on the basis of Ginzburg & Sag’s (2000) approach to fragment clauses. By incorporating Minimal Recursion Semantics representations, this paper also provides an account of question interpretations, focus-sensitive readings, and scope relations in why and other adverbial Stripping constructions.

Connectivity Effects and Questions as Specificational Subjects

( Eun Jung Yoo ) 한국언어정보학회 2006 언어와 정보 Vol.10 No.2

Connectivity effects have been central issues in dealing with specificational pseudoclefts. While syntactic approaches motivate their analysis in order to explain connectivity effects in terms of a connected clause, these accounts have numerous problems including a wide range of anti-connectivity effects that constitutes crucial counterevidence. On the other hand, semantic accounts of connectivity effects treat BV and BT connectivity by independent interpretive mechanisms, providing a more fundamental explanation for connectivity effects. Yet existing semantic accounts have limitations in explaining syntactic properties and syntactic connectivity effects in SPCs, and in accounting for BV anti-connectivity effects in English. Focusing on BV connectivity, this paper explores how the relevant (anti-)connectivity facts can be accounted for by an analysis that provides both an elaborate syntactic analysis of SPCs and a semantic mechanism for bound anaphora. Based on Yoo`s (2005) non-deletion based, question-answer pair analysis of SPCs, this paper shows that a functional question analysis of a specificational subject, when combined with a theory of operator scope and a non-configurational condition on bound anaphora, can explain various BV (anti-)connectivity patterns in SPCs and related constructions.

유은정,우행원,김영철,연규월,김종원,임원정 대한신경정신의학회 2000 신경정신의학 Vol.39 No.2

연구목적: 1980년 중반부터 강박장애의 치료로 SSRIs가 널리 쓰이고 있으나 치료반응의 예측인자에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 sertraline 투여후 호전군과 비호전군의 인구학적 특성, 발병연령, 이환기간, 과거의 강방장애에 대한 투약경력, 정신과 질환의 가족력, 증상의 심각도, 임상양상 등의 변수들을 관찰하여 sertraline 치료반응과의 상관관계를 살펴보았으며 치료방응을 예측 할 수 있는 인자를 알아보았다. 방법: 연구 대상은 이대부속 동대문병원 정신과에 입원 또는 외래치료를 받은 환자들 중 정신과 진단 편람제 4판 진단 기준에 의거하여 강박장애로 진단 받은 31명(남자 10명, 여자 21명)이었다. 연구 방법은 sertraline을 하루 50mg씩 투약하면서 Y-BOCS, NIMHOCS, CGI로 강박증상의 변화를 평가하였고, HAM-A로 불안정도의 변화를 측정하여 투약 전 점수와 비교하였다. 결과: 1) Y-BOCS 점수 40%이상 감소와 함께 CGI 점수 2점 이상 감소를 보인 호전군은 대상환자 31명중 17명(54.8%)이었고, 비호전군은 14명이었다. 호전군이 비호전군에 비해 늦은 나이에 발병하는 경향을보였고(p<0.1), 이환기간이 짧았으며(p<0.05), 과거의 강박장애에 대한 투약경력은 적었다(p<0.05), 정신과 질환의 가족력은 두 집단간에 차이가 없었다. 2) 호전군에서 투약 전 Y-BOCS의 강박행동 점수가 유의하게 낮았으며(p<0.05), 기타 다른 평가척도에서는 두 집단간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3) 평균 Y-BOCS 점수는 투약 전에 비해 sertraline 투약 12주째 43.5%가 감소하였다. 투약 전과 비교하여 투약 2주째부터 불안을 평가하는 HAM-A 점수가 유의하게 감소하였고, 투약 4주째부터 Y-BOCS, NIMHOCS, CGI 점수가 유의하게 감소되기 시작하여 12주까지 지속되었다.(p<0.01). 4) 호전군에서 오염에 대한 강박사고와 씻음의 강박행동의 유의하게 많았으며(p<0.05), 셈의 강박행동은 없었다(p<0.05), 병적 의심은 비호전군에서 많은 경향을 보였다(p<0.1). 결론: 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 질병의 이환기간이 짧으며 과거의 강박장애에 대한 투약경력이 적고 투약 전강박행동이 심하지 않으며, 주된 임상양상이 오염에 대한 강박사고와 씻음의 강박행동인 경우 sertra-line에 좋은 치료반응을 보이지만, 셈의 강박행동이 있는 경우에는 치료반응이 좋지 않다고 예측할 수 있다. Objectives: The pharmacologic treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD) with serotonergic antidepressant agents is well established in clinical psychiatry on the basis of serotonin hypothesis. Studies on predictive factors of treatment reponse to OCD are relatively scarce. The author compared the demographic factors, age of onset, length of illness, family history of mental illness, previous drug history for OCD, severity and type of symptoms between the drug reponders and non-responders to find out the predicitive factors that may be related to treatment response. Methods: The subjects were 31, both inpatients and outpatients who met the diagnostic criteria for OCD by DSM-IV and scored 20 or higher on the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Com-pulsive Scale(Y-BOCS) completed 12-week trial of sertraline. Y-BOCS, National Institute of Mental Health Obsessive-Compulsive Scale(NIMHOCS), Clinical Global Impression Scale(CGI) were scored to measure the changes of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and Hamilto Anxiety Scale(HAM-A) was measured at each visit. Results: 1) The responders, defined as achieving at least a 40% decrease in the Y-BOCS total score and more than a 2 point decrease in CGI score, were 17(54.8%), and non-responders were 14(45.2%). Responders tended to show later onset(p<0.1), and shorter duration of illness(p<0.05), and less previous drug therapy for OCD(p<0.05) than non-responders. There were no significant differences in family history of mental illness between the two groups. 2) The basline Y-BOCS compulsive score was significantly lower in responders(p<0.05), although there was no significant difference in the basline severity of other measures. 3) The obsession of contamination and washing behaviors were more frequent, but compulsive counting was not shown, in responders(p<0.05). The pathological doubt tended to be more common in nonresponders(p<0.1). Conclusions: In summary, the patients with shorter duration of illness, less prior drug ther-apy for OCD, and less severe compulsive behaviors, and the obsession of contamination and washing behaviors are expected to be better outcome with sertraline, whereas compulsive counting are the predictor of poor response.

노인 낮병원의 심리사회적 치료 프로그램이 노인의 신경인지기능과 우울 증상에 미치는 효과

노인에게 있어서 신경인지기능의 저하와 우울 증상은 가장 흔한 장애이며 신체적, 정신적인 면에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 또한 이러한 장애중 비임상군에서 심리사회적 치료개입의 효과가 보고되고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 지역사회에서 노인에게 제공되는 심리사회적 치료개입의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 이전의 연구에서는 대상이 특정 집단이거나, 비교군이 없거나, 치료효과에 대한 추적 관찰이 이루어지지 않는 등의 제한점이 있었으며, 현재 국내의 노인 낮병원은 소수에 불과하고 이러한 낮병원의 치료효과에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 지역사회 정신보건센터에서 운영하는 노인 낮병원에 참가하는 노인들을 대상으로 낮병원의 심리사회적 프로그램이 노인들의 신경인지기능과 우울 증상에 미치는 효과와 이에 대한 유지 효과의 유무를 알아보고자 하였다. 경기도 광주군 정신보건센터의 노인 낮병원에 참여한 노인을 치료군으로, 치료를 거부하거나 치료 중 탈락한 노인을 비교군으로 하여 10주간의 낮병원 치료전후와 치료종결 후 10주에 신경인지기능은 한국형 간이 정신상태검사(이하 MMSE-K)로, 우울 증상은 단축형노인우울척도(이하 SGDS)로 평가하여 두 군을 비교하였고 치료군의 치료 직후와 치료종결 후 10주를 비교하였다. 연구결과 노인 낮병원의 심리사회적 치료가 시간에 따른 SGDS점수 변화에 통계학적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, MMSE-K점수 변화에는 통계학적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 10주 추시가 가능했던 치료군 중 약 43%가 10주 후 SGDS가 증가하여 호전되었던 우울증상의 악화를 보였다. 본 연구 결과 노인 낮병원의 심리사회적 치료 프로그램 개입은 노인에게 있어서 우울 증상을 호전시키며 신경인지 기능에는 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 상당수에서 심리사회적 치료 개입으로 인한 우울 증상의 호전이 유지되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 노인우울증상의 치료에 낮병원의 심리사회적 치료 프로그램이 효과적일 수 있음과 치료 후 이를 유지하기 위한 부가적인 치료개입의 필요성을 시사한다. Cognitive impairment and depression are the most common symptoms affecting the elderly on physical and mental states. Studies have shown that these symptoms in mild cases are improved by psychosocial intervention, emphasizing the importance of therapeutic intervention provided in the community. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the psychosocial program at a geriatric day care service has any therapeutic effect on the cognitive function and depressive symptoms in the elderly and whether such effect can be maintained. The experimental group was composed of 37 elderly patients attending the day care service at the mental health center located in Kwangju county, Kyonggi province. The control group was composed of 22 elderly patients who either refused intervention or who dropped out of the program. Cognitive function was assessed with the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Exam(MMSE-K), and depressive symptoms were assessed with the Short-form Geriatric Depression Scale(SGDS). The experimental group and the control group were compared on the score of on each test, which was administered before and after the program and 10 weeks after discontinuation of program. In the experimental group, the scores acquired immediately after the program and at 10 weeks of follow-up were also compared. The results showed that psychosocial intervention at a geriatric day care service was significantly associated with the change in SGDS scores dependent on time but not significantly associated with the change in MMSE-K scores. In the experimental group whose follow-up assessment was possible, it was further shown that 43% of patients had increased SGDS scores 10 weeks after the program ended, indicating that depressive symptoms had worsened. This study suggests that psychosocial therapeutic intervention in the geriatric day care service improve depressive symptoms but not cognitive functions in the elderly. In addition, for a considerable percentage of subjects in the experimental group, the improvements in depressive symptoms were not sustained after the intervention was withdrawn. These findings proposes a need of strengthening therapeutic intervention to maintain such effect.

A Constructional Analysis of English Exclamatives

Yoo,Eun-Jung 한국언어학회 2009 언어 Vol.34 No.2

While illocutionary force of exclamation is manifested by many different sentence types, it is controversial what kind of sentences have sentential force of exclamatives. Drawing upon some recent works such as Michaelis and Lambrecht (1996b), Ginzburg and Sag (2000), and Zanuttini and Portner (2003), this paper focuses on essential semantic properties of exclamatives, factivity and scalar implicature. We argue that in English, not only wh-exclamatives but also inverted exclamatives and nominal exclamatives are characterized as exclamative constructions by these semantic properties. Departing from Zanuttini and Portner (2003), who, linking such semantic properties to syntactic components, recognize a factive marker and wh-operator as key syntactic elements, this work proposes an analysis in which different syntactic forms exhibit the same core semantic properties of exclamatives. While none of the previous analyses account for the three different types of exclamatives, i.e., WH, inverted, and nominal exclamatives by a coherent mechanism, the present paper provides a unified account of their semantic properties within the framework of HPSG, with their syntactic differences taken care of by different phrasal type constraints.

치과병원에서 사용되는 진단영상에 대한 JPEG 2000 압축률에 대한 평가

정기훈,한원정,유동수,최순철,김은경 대한구강악안면방사선학회 2005 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.35 No.3

Purpose : To find out the proper compression ratios without degrading image quality and affecting lesion detectability on diagnostic images used in dentistry compressed with JPEG 2000 algorithm. Materials and Methods : Sixty Digora periapical images, sixty panoramic computed radiographic (CR) images, sixty computed tomographic (CT) images, and sixty magnetic resonance (MR) images were compressed into JPEG 2000 with ratios of 10 levels from 5 : 1 to 50 : 1. To evaluate the lesion detectability, the images were graded with 5 levels (1: definitely absent; 2: probably absent; 3: equivocal; 4: probably present; 5: definitely present), and then receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed using the original image as a gold standard. Also to evaluate subjectively the image quality, the images were graded with 5 levels (1: definitely unacceptable; 2: probably unacceptable; 3: equivocal; 4: probably acceptable; 5: definitely acceptable), and then paired t-test was performed. Results : In Digora, CR panoramic and CT images, compressed images up to ratios of 15 : 1 showed nearly the same lesion detectability as original images, and in MR images, compressed images did up to ratios of 25 : 1. In Digora and CR panoramic images, compressed images up to ratios of 5 : 1 showed little difference between the original and reconstructed images in subjective assessment of image quality. In CT images, compressed images did up to ratios of 10 : 1 and in MR images up to ratios of 15 : 1. Conclusion : We considered compression ratios up to 5 : 1 in Digora and CR panoramic images, up to 10 : 1 in CT images, up to 15 : 1 in MR images as clinically applicable compression ratios.
