Prosodic licensing in Korean wh-questions: De-phrasing and pitch reduction

정희련,강준구 경희대학교 언어정보연구소 2023 언어연구 Vol.40 No.3

This paper discusses the prosody of Korean wh-questions and prosodic grouping accompanied by de-phrasing and pitch reduction. Our findings show that Jun and Oh’s (1996) observation on the wh-phrasing needs to be clarified. While they proposed a phonological condition of a wh-word forming an AP with the following word, Experiment 1 reveals wh-elements tend to be grouped with an IP boundary, ignoring any elements situated between them. Experiment 2 further clarifies that, instead of just an IP boundary, Korean wh-phrasing actually reacts to the Q-features. This can be inferred from the empirical data showing that the embedded C head of that-clause is prosodically not realized while that of if-clause is realized. Specifically, the elements between the wh-element and its licensor are prosodically reduced/deleted, indicating a possible prosodic grouping in Seoul Korean wh-questions. To explain this phenomenon, we adopt Richards’ (2016) Generalized Contiguity Theory and its notion of agreeing/selecting elements being dominated by a single prosodic node. We propose that in Korean, wh-element must also agree with its licensor by forming a unified prosodic unit, which we term Basin formation.

Numeral classifiers in Korean -ki nominalizations

Michael Barrie(Michael Barrie ),정희련(Heeryun Chung),안덕호(Duk-Ho An) 경희대학교 언어정보연구소 2022 언어연구 Vol.39 No.3

This paper discusses the structure of numeral classifiers in two types of Korean -ki nominalizations. In the first type (NOM-ki), the object is a full KP, and the properties of numeral classifiers are identical to those of any full KP nominal. In the second type (GEN-ki), the object is a bare nP, and is missing the functional structure necessary for hosting numeral classifiers. As such, the numeral classifier simply adjoins to nP and gives rise to idiosyncratic or culturally relevant readings only. We argue that the Div head is part of the functional spine in Korean. Div is responsible for making the nP countable and able to semantically compose with the numeral classifier. In a full KP object (in NOM-ki), Div is present, and the numeral classifier composes Div+nP, giving rise to standard counting semantics. In a bare nP object (in GEN-ki), Div is absent. The numeral classifier cannot semantically compose with nP. We argue, following Harley (2009), that a non-compositional meaning can arise akin to compounds.

조선 왕실에서의 우황고 활용 양상 연구 : 『승정원일기』를 중심으로

김성민(Sungmin Kim),정희련(Huiryeon Jeong),김동율(Dongryul Kim) 한국의사학회 2020 한국의사학회지 Vol.33 No.2

본 연구는 왕실의 진료 기록이 상세히 남아 있는 『승정원일기』를 통해 조선 왕실에서의 우황고 활용 양상에 대해 살펴본 연구이다. 연구 결과 우황고는 조선 왕실에서 주로 煩熱, 熏熱, 夜間發熱, 천연두나 수두, 홍역 등으로 인한 熱證 등 주로 熱과 관련된 질환에 활용되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 우황고는 여러 차 종류와 함께 복용하는 방식, 액상형으로 만들어 복용하는 방식, 외용제로 활용하여 熱性 피부질환에 응용하는 방식 등 『승정원일기』 내에서 다양한 방식으로 활용되었음을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 확인된 내용들을 의서와 비교하며 『승정원일기』에서 나타나는 우황고의 복용상 특징에 대해 고찰하였고, 연구 과정에서 살펴볼 수 있었던 영조의 의학적 인식에 대해서도 고찰하였다. This study studied the use of Woohwanggo in the Joseon royal family through The daily records of Royal secretariat of Joseon Dynasty, which contains detailed records of royal medical treatment. The study found that Woohwanggo was mainly used for diseases related to vexing heat (煩熱), fumigating heat (薰熱), night fever (夜間發熱), and heat syndrome (熱證) from smallpox, and measles in the royal family of Joseon. This study also confirmed that Woohwango was used in various ways within the Daily records of Royal secretariat of Joseon Dynasty, including the way it was taken with various types of tea, the way it was made into liquid form, and the way it was used as an external agent for skin diseases. Further findings were compared to the medical books, and the dosage characteristics of Woohwango in the daily records of Royal secretariat of Joseon Dynasty were discussed. and the medical perception of King Yeongjo (英祖), which was examined during the study, was also discussed.

Aspects of -ki Nominalization in Korean

Barrie Michael Jonathan Mathew,정희련 한국외국어대학교 언어연구소 2019 언어와 언어학 Vol.0 No.83

This paper analyzes -ki nominalizations in Korean. We identify two types of the -ki nominalizations, NOM-ki and GEN-ki, with distinct morphosyntactic properties. We propose an analysis along the lines of Kratzer (1996) in which the nominalizer -ki selects verbal projections of different sizes (TP and vP) to account for the observed patterns. We argue against previous accounts of -ki nominalizations, showing either that important generalizations were missed or that there were flaws in the previous analyses. We propose a novel generalization for the two types of -ki nominalizations and propose an appropriate analysis. Some outstanding issues and implications are briefly discussed.

자극 반응성 하이드로겔을 이용한 감염성 피부 창상 치료제 개발의 최신 연구 동향

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have gained much attention for the treatment of infected cutaneous wounds due to their ability to modulate drug release effectively. Under the presence of bacterial infection, drug release can be triggered by the internal or external stimuli. After bacterial removal, drug release from the hydrogels can be prevented, avoiding adverse effects on normal tissues and providing a humid condition that could help cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. Herein, we address recently published articles about stimuli-responsive hydrogels for the treatment of infected cutaneous wounds. This brief review highlights the advantages and challenges of four types of stimuli-responsive hydrogels: pHresponsive, reactive oxygen species-responsive, light-responsive, and ultrasound-responsive hydrogels. It also provides perspectives on the development of future stimuli-responsive hydrogels for the treatment of infected cutaneous wounds.

한국어 의문사의 어순 제약: 실험 통사론적 접근

이정훈 ( Lee Chung-hoon ),정희련 ( Chung Hee-ryun ) 국어학회 2022 국어학 Vol.- No.101

In the languages involving overt wh-movement, wh-elements have their own distributive characteristics. Korean, however, is a type of language in which the wh-elements do not move overtly. Accordingly, the predominant view concerning the overall distribution of Korean wh-elements is that they have no particular distributive characteristic. In this paper, we argue that the Korean wh-element does have distributive characteristics; it prefers to appear in front of the verb and tends to be adjacent to each other in multiple wh-questions. This means that two constraints related to the word-order of Korean wh-elements can be established: the ‘wh-backwardness constraint’ and the ‘wh-adjacency constraint’. These two constraints are demonstrated through experiments based on empirical data analysis, and the need for the constraints can be explained by the concept of iconicity. We also propose that the wh-element moves toward the complex head formed by a head movement and it is adjoined to the complex head in order to comply with the two constraints. Adjoining a phrase to the head is allowed in Korean syntax, thus adjoining a wh-element to the complex head via movement is readily allowed.
