This paper is mainly concerned with providing a semantic treatment of copy raising constructions (CRCs) and standard raising constructions (SRCs) in English. In the literature, CRCs are licensed only if a perception source for the matrix subject is available. Accepting this, Asudeh and Toivonen (2012) propose a semantic analysis of CRCs by assigning a semantic role like a perception source to the matrix subject of a CRC. However, this paper argues that the perception source is not sufficient for a semantic analysis of CRCs, since it poses a problem when dealing with a case of mistaken identity. This paper also argues that CRCs and SRCs are marked by inferential evidentials - i.e. CRCs are involved in direct evidence, while CRCs direct or indirect evidence. To solve the problem arising in the case of mistaken identity, this paper proposes that the semantics of de re attitudes be incorporated into the semantics of CRCs, together with evidentiality which functions to establish a direct evidential relation to an entity that counts as the res. The semantic difference between CRCs and SRCs is that CRCs requires the relation, while SRCs does not. This indicates that unlike CRCS, SRCs are interpreted in terms of de dicto attitudes.

This study aims to examine Korean Residential Culture through the methodological procedures of corpus analysis for cultural studies. For this purpose, I used the corpus constructed from articles related to the residential space in five different women's magazines(1970-2015): Chubusaenghwal(Housewives Living(STYLER)), Yŏsŏngdonga(Women's Dong-A), yŏsŏngjungang (Women's JoongAng), yŏwŏn(Yeowon), and Haengbogi kadŭk'an chip(A Home Full of Happiness). I built a serial analysis process for analyzing this diachronic corpus; extracting the list of words to focus on, classifying the words list using a thesaurus, restructuring the list by a cultural framework, and analyzing the changing trends of each classified lexical group in a sociocultural context. This research is meaningful in that it is an empirical result that can be applied for both cultural studies and corpus linguistic analysis in cultural aspects. (Ewha Womans University)

The purpose of this study is to measure 'vocabulary diversity', 'vocabulary relationship complexity', and 'text coherence' that appear in the written corpus of Korean learners by using the text mining technique to examine learners' vocabulary usage patterns by proficiency level. 'Vocabulary Diversity', 'Vocabulary Relationship Complexity', and 'Text Coherence' were measured by targeting the corpus of 3-6 level learners corresponding to the middle and high level of Korean language education institutions using text mining techniques. As a result of the measurement, the higher of the learner's mastery, the higher the value was measured. The vocabulary diversity increased to 0.0026 for the 3rd level, 0.0932 for the 4th level, 0.2382 for the 5th level, and 0.3658 for the 6th level, and the vocabulary relationship complexity increased to 0.2381 for the 3rd level, 0.3085 for the 4th level, 0.4325 for the 5th level, and 0.4899 for the 6th level. Text coherence rose to level 3 0.1717, level 4 0.1910, level 5 0.3210, and level 6 0.3684. As a result of conducting an analysis of variance to confirm whether these quantitative values were significant, the differences in the averages for each level of proficiency measured by applying the text mining technique were all significant and were consistent with qualitative analysis.

This paper revisits the paradox of supererogation which remains problematic for extant theories of deontic modality. I build on Lassiter (2011, 2017) and claim that a simple exhaustification of the expected utility-based semantics resolves the problem. Independent evidence comes from Korean, where expressions conveying modal necessity morphosyntactically encode exhaustivity.
