Sense and Reference Meaning Barriers in Pragmatics among Arabic Native Students

The study investigated some barriers in pragmatics to prevent EFL students from conveying sense and reference meaning. It was carried out in 2024 and was used to collect primary data through a questionnaire filled out by 50 university students in the English department. The results showed the most important differences Cause pragmatics barriers are contextual factors, as stated by (94%) of participants. Then cultural differences were stated by (80%) of them, and (34%) of participants said that differences come from culture more than linguistics. The most common challenges that can reduce ambiguities undermining intended sense and reference meaning are clarifying assumptions upfront, intended sense and reference meaning mentioned by (78%) of participants. Then (68%) stated that intended and reference meaning could be conveyed through non-linguistic cues. (64%) of participants confirmed that English communication assumptions sometimes undermine sense and reference meaning. (76%) of participants claimed that philosophers and linguists (pragmaticians) aim to be scientific. They can distinguish sense and reference meaning concepts throughout research and case studies across communities. Based on ''analysis of pragmatics across diverse languages and context, 66%) of them mentioned that future pragmatics research should incorporate non-English languages. The study ended with some recommendations: Treat FEL students' difficulties in morphemic analysis and vocabulary and focus on some strategies. e.g., translation and interlanguages are facilitators of cultural and contextual meaning.

Logical Spaces and Subjunctive Tenses

Apparently, Subjunctive tenses express temporal location, and, in some constructions, the past subjunctive can also express modal values. A long-standing debate exists over whether—even in the latter case—verbal tenses are temporal operators or whether in some constructions they convey temporal meaning, and in others they have a modal value, maybe derived from their basic temporal meaning. The assumption that the basic meaning of subjunctive tenses are of a temporal nature is challenged by the fact that the future subjunctive, which exists in Portuguese, has the same temporal interpretation as the present subjunctive, with which it is in complementary distribution. Moreover, no clear modal difference is observed between the future and present subjunctive tenses. In this paper, I present arguments against the separation of the temporal and modal values of the subjunctive tenses. I posit, instead, that a semantic analysis of subjunctive morphemes must consider ordered pairs of times and possible worlds; only in this way can we adequately capture the observed data and allow a comprehensive view of the system of subjunctive tenses in Portuguese (which will be extendable to Romance languages in general). If we accept this proposal, then the modal as temporal information associated with subjunctive tenses follows naturally, including the systematic futurate reading of subjunctive temporal clauses.

TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT OF MORPHEME IN UZBEK LINGUISTICS

As we explore Uzbek linguists’ views on the morpheme, we encounter two distinct perspectives: the traditional interpretation of morpheme study and the views of those who support a more modern approach. This article compares the views of scholars who advocate the traditional perspective on morpheme analysis. The author criticizes the evaluation of morpheme as a component of the word. Consequently, throughout this research, the author presents his personal views on the opinions of other scholars in the field.

Comprehensive Analysis of Derivational and Inflectional Morphemes for English Language Acquisition

Morphology plays a crucial role in students' language acquisition. This study delves into the distinctions between inflectional and derivational morphemes, aiming to enhance comprehension of these concepts. By investigating word creation processes and observed alterations, the study illustrates the profound impact of prefixes and suffixes on words, shedding light on their significance in language learning. Students frequently require clarification when distinguishing between inflectional and derivational morphemes during learning. To enhance comprehension of this subject, this present study initially investigated the definitions and subcategories of these two terms outlined in various literary sources. Next, it provided a concise overview of the critical distinctions between inflectional and derivational morphemes. These analyses aim to determine the word created by derivational morphemes, the word formed by inflectional morphemes, the process by which the specified word is formed, and the types of observed alterations. The author implements the descriptive qualitative approach. It will discover that each morpheme possesses its function and influences the base word's meaning, word class, or grammatical function. This study illustrates the impact of prefixes and suffixes on words.

Exploring the Efficiency of Associative Vocabulary Teaching Strategies to Foreign Language Learners

This study attempted to explore the effect of applying three associative vocabulary instruction strategies (context-based, morphemic analysis and concept map) compared with the traditional strategies on the intermediate EFL learners' vocabulary development employing a quasi-experimental, quantitative, pre-test/post-test design. With the aid of an English proficiency test and a researcher-developed vocabulary test the homogeneity of the participants were checked before the study's treatment. Subsequently, 80 intermediate EFL learners were chosen via convenience sampling procedure from private language schools and recruited for the study and divided into four groups of 20 as the experimental and control participants. The experimental participants were taught the target lexical items with the aid of contexts, concept maps and morphemic analyses while the control participants experienced the traditional instruction (i.e., L1 equivalent provision, word lists, flashcards and memorization). The same vocabulary test was administered this time as the post-test to check whether there was a significant difference in the learners’ attainment for the taught lexical items. The performance of the participants on the vocabulary post-test was analyzed both descriptively and inferentially (a MANOVA, an ANOVA and an independent-samples t-test). It was revealed that all the associative vocabulary teaching strategies were significantly more efficient than the traditional vocabulary teaching strategies. Moreover, it was found that concept mapping was the most efficient instructional strategy for teaching the lexical items compared with the traditional strategies and other associative strategies for the intermediate EFL learners.

Awareness and analysis: concurrent and predictive roles of two morphological processes in early reading comprehension

IntroductionWe examine how awareness and analysis of morphemes contribute to children's reading comprehension and its development. A multidimensional perspective on reading comprehension posits morphological awareness and morphological analysis play distinct roles in reading comprehension. Assuming individual differences in growth in these aspects of morphological processing, their concurrent influences can vary depending on children's reading comprehension abilities, and predictive influences can change as children's reading comprehension abilities improve.MethodThe current longitudinal study examined the concurrent and predictive influences of awareness and analysis on children's reading comprehension from Grades 1 to 3. Data from 171 public school children, with diverse reading comprehension abilities, were collected across five waves and were analyzed using cross-lagged panel structural equation modeling.ResultsResults showed concurrent relationships among morphological awareness, analysis, and reading comprehension in Grades 1 and 2, and morphological analysis having a concurrent relationship with reading comprehension at the end of Grade 3. Morphological awareness in all waves but Wave 3, at the end of Grade 2, predicted subsequent reading comprehension. Morphological analysis did not predict subsequent reading comprehension.DiscussionFindings support the multidimensional conceptualization of awareness and analysis as distinct morphological processes that play early-wave concurrent and across-wave predictive roles in children's reading comprehension development.

An Analysis of Free and Bound Morphemes in Alfred Tennyson's Poem Entitled "Marriage Morning"

The objective of this research is to know the free and bound morphemes in Alfred Tennyson’s poem entitled "Marriage Morning". This research uses a Descriptive Qualitative Method. The main source of this research data is one poem from Alfred Tennyson's entitled "Marriage Morning". In the descriptive method, the data collected is not numbers, but the form of words. The data is in the form of words containing free morphemes and bound morphemes in the poem. In this analysis it is found that the overall results of Free and Bound Morpheme as many as 151 data. With free Morpheme distribution was found as many as 137 data (90.72%) and 14 data of Morpheme Bound (9.28%). Morphemes are the smallest elements of meaning in a language. They are generally classified as either free morphemes, which can follow as independent words or bound morphemes, which can't stand alone as words.

MORPHOLOGY AND MORPHEMOLOGY: WORD STRUCTURE AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE

The article focuses on analyzing the foundational theoretical tenets of morphemology and morphology within contemporary Ukrainian linguistics, emphasizing their intrinsic interrelation. A comprehensive examination of the morpheme as the fundamental linguistic entity for morphemological studies is undertaken. The primary attributes of a morpheme as a linguistic unit are elucidated, facilitating a more proficient comprehension of the principles underlying the morphemic analysis of words. Furthermore, the research delves into the grammatical meanings embodied by morphemes within specific parts of speech, drawing on Ukrainian language lexemes for illustration. The discourse provides a rationale for considering morphemology as an autonomous branch of linguistics, intricately linked with morphology and derivatology. The article delineates distinctions in the application of terms such as "morphemics" versus "morphemology" and "morpheme" versus "morph." A crucial assertion is advanced, substantiating that a morpheme, functioning as the smallest semantically significant constituent of a word, can simultaneously convey lexical, grammatical, and word-formational meanings. The correlation between morphemology and morphology is substantiated by the integral semantics inherent in words, a phenomenon derived from the amalgamation of lexical and grammatical meanings. The confluence of these meanings establishes a word's classification within a specific grammatical category (part of speech) and its affiliation with a particular word-formational type. Similar to a word form, a morpheme exhibits reproducibility in language, possesses a semiological function, and serves to convey both subject (via the root) and non-subject (via affixes) meanings. As with other linguistic entities, morphemes and word forms can be regarded as historical categories, prompting the differentiation of word formation into historical and synchronic aspects. Throughout the historical evolution of a language, alterations in word structure manifest through phonetic changes, the loss of productive affixes, and modifications in the phonemic boundaries of morphemes. Consequently, the framework for synchronic morphemic analysis must not be indiscriminately applied to other synchronic facets of the language.

МОРФЕМНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ КАК ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ПАРАДОКС

The theoretically untenable and empirically inadequate code model of linguistic communication predetermines the paradoxical situation in education, when the Russian language, as a school subject, becomes one of the hardest in the school curriculum, while the didactic goal it aims to achieve is vague and indeterminate. The hypostatization of linguistic signs into autonomous container-like objects with meanings as their contents motivates the so-called morphemic analysis - the breaking down of words into their components (morphemes) that possess specific «quanta» of meaning, while the educational purpose of such an “analysis” is unclear, and its cognitive value is negligible, because morphemic analysis does not relate to the practice of living in language.

Coordinate and Subordinate Compounds in Chinese Morphology: A Cognitive Approach

Chinese compounds, particularly those categorized as subordinate and coordinate, hold considerable importance in Chinese morphology. The intricacies of these compound structures often pose challenges, even for native speakers, as their identification relies on an understanding of ancient Chinese semantics. This research endeavor aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of abstract morphemes within these two types of Chinese compounds, with a particular focus on their semantic aspects. The cognitive approach proves to be highly effective in examining the internal structure of these compounds, as well as the diverse combinations of morphemes. Furthermore, this study offers valuable teaching implications pertaining to the morphological processes involved in Chinese characters.

텍스트 마이닝과 네트워크 이론을 활용한 권역별 국가하천 점용허가 키워드 분석

This study was conducted using text mining and network theory to extract useful information for application for occupancy and performance of permit tasks contained in the permit contents from the permit register, which is used only for the simple purpose of recording occupancy permit information. Based on text mining, we analyzed and compared the frequency of vocabulary occurrence and topic modeling in five regions, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, Chungcheong, and Gangwon, as well as normalization processes such as stopword removal and morpheme analysis. By applying four types of centrality algorithms, including stage, proximity, mediation, and eigenvector, which are widely used in network theory, we looked at keywords that are in a central position or act as an intermediary in the network. Through a comprehensive analysis of vocabulary appearance frequency, topic modeling, and network centrality, it was found that the ‘installation’ keyword was the most influential in all regions. This is believed to be the result of the Ministry of Environment's permit management office issuing many permits for constructing facilities or installing structures. In addition, it was found that keywords related to road facilities, flood control facilities, underground facilities, power/communication facilities, sports/park facilities, etc. were at a central position or played a role as an intermediary in topic modeling and networks. Most of the keywords appeared to have a Zipf’s law statistical distribution with low frequency of occurrence and low distribution ratio.

Morphological Analysis of Inflectional Morphemes in Elon Musk Speech

This research aims to investigate types of inflectional morphemes and the most dominant morphemes appearing in Elon Musk Speech. This study is a qualitative research that adopted the data analysis designed by Miles & Huberman (1994) which covers data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result of this study is that, In particular, For the inflecttional affixes, the affixes that occured were eighty-five (85) suffixes. There were no prefixes. There were seven (7) different types of suffixes, such asa; -s/es indicating plural, -s/es indicating third person singular, -ed indicating past tense, -ed indicating past participle, -‘s indicating possessive, -ing indicating progressive, -est indicating superlative. As a result, suffixes –s/es plural become the mostt dominant suffixed which are being used in Elon Musk’s speech. Since the analysis of this paper is still limited on the inflectional morphemes in Elon Musk’s speech, the other researcher are suggesed to do additional research on Derivational Morphemes using song’s lyric or novel as a different data resources.

日韓相互コンテンツ ツ リズムの比較研究 ―― テキストマイニングを用いて

This study examined the trends in content tourism between Korea and Japan, which has increased rapidly since COVID19, through text mining analysis. In summarizing the current status and characteristics of tourism and of related trends identified in previous studies, text mining targets included Korean animation-related pilgrimages to Japan and Japanese visits to Korean drama locations. Because the two languages are involved, conventional platforms and tools of analysis could not be used, so data were obtained through forms of pre-processing such as morpheme analysis, terminology processing, and synthetic processing, which were performed in TEXTOM in Korean and in KHcoder in Japanese.</br>As a result, in relation to Koreans’ pilgrimage to Japanese animation, it was confirmed that they were overwhelmingly positive in emotional analysis and their willingness to stay long-term through working holidays or becoming exchange students. It was also clear that the younger generation, which is familiar with popular animation culture, was taking the lead in this respect, although it was difficult to identify gender. In contrast, in the Japanese pilgrimages to Korean drama locations, it emerged that equivalent words and phrases which would indicate an openness to an extended stay in Korea do not appear, and that such visits are led by women over a certain age who aren’t inclined toward long-term time abroad. This variation is also related to the fact that “study,” which appears as a frequent word among both groups, exclusively denotes studying the Japanese language among the Koreans, while for the Japanese, it denotes diverse studies in the Korean language, culture, history and customs. In addition, in terms of the places related to contents tourism, Tokyo is the most common among Koreans visiting Japan, but regional and large cities such as Osaka and Kyoto also appear, while Japanese visitors are concentrated in Seoul to a remarkable degree.

Development of a Text Processing Automation Method for Using Modern Korean-Chinese Mixed Text in General Education

This study aims to develop an automated text processing method for the use of modern Korean-Chinese mixed newspaper materials in liberal arts education. This article describes the process, its results, and additional tasks. In particular, the focus was placed on the batch processing of texts downloaded in large quantities. The problem with the existing computerized and serviced Korean-Chinese mixed texts is that most of the old Korean texts were computerized with PUA codes, which are not currently in Unicode standards. To process or analyze texts in computer language, it is necessary to convert these characters into standard code methods. Based on the standardized data brought in, the work of replacing the old form of words with the current Korean notation was carried out. Finally, in the text, phonological and Korean notation of Chinese characters are added in parentheses. Reviewing the results shows a significant improvement in readability. If you want to use modern Korean and Chinese newspaper materials for liberal arts education, it may be difficult unless a separate feed process is premised. When trying to use modern Korean-Chinese newspaper materials for liberal arts education, it can be difficult due to the problem of notations. Furthermore, this automated form of processing allows instructors to extract articles related to specific topics and to read articles with students that increase their readability. But as things stand, there are limits. For example, if a Chinese character has multiple consonants, there may be cases in which a Chinese character has a reading sound that does not fit the Chinese character word and rather interferes with the reading of it. These should be used for education purposes after correction. In addition, even if it is a Korean-Chinese mixed text and pronunciation is provided here, it is difficult for a student without knowledge of classical Chinese grammar to read that text if a lot of classical Chinese expressions are mixed in. This case ultimately becomes a problem that can be solved by the development of a classical Chinese morpheme analyzer. If progress is made on such things as the construction of the classic Chinese Corpus, it will be of great help in the development of history and liberal arts teaching tools.

사용자 사전과 형태소 토큰을 사용한 트랜스포머 기반 형태소 분석기

Since morphemes are the smallest unit of meaning in Korean, it is necessary to develop an accurate morphemes analyzer to improve the performance of the Korean language model. However, most existing analyzers present morpheme analysis results by learning word unit tokens as input values. However, since Korean words are consist of postpositions and affixes that are attached to the root, even if they have the same root, the meaning tends to change due to the postpositions or affixes. Therefore, learning morphemes using word unit tokens can lead to misclassification of postposition or affixes. In this paper, we use morpheme-level tokens to grasp the inherent meaning in Korean sentences and propose a morpheme analyzer based on a sequence generation method using Transformer. In addition, a user dictionary is constructed based on corpus data to solve the out-of-vocabulary problem. During the experiment, the morpheme and morpheme tags printed by each morpheme analyzer were compared with the correct answer data, and the experiment proved that the morpheme analyzer presented in this paper performed better than the existing morpheme analyzer.

WORK WITH REFERENCE SOURCES AS A COMPONENT OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE PHILOLOGISTS

The ability to use reference literature is an important component of the professional training of future philologists. Independent work on the Ukrainian language should instill in future specialists the ability to systematically supplement their knowledge, quickly and creatively navigate new information. Working with dictionaries and other sources of information contributes to the development of conviction in the correctness of grammatical forms, helps the teacher deepen the speaking skills and capabilities of students. The purpose of the article is to describe the methods of working with reference literature in the context of the formation of language and speech competences of philology students. This study used observational, descriptive, and generalization methods. In higher education institutions with the introduction of interactive methods in the teaching of linguistic disciplines, the student is at the center of the learning process, his opinion is treated with respect, and he is encouraged to be active. By forming lexicological and grammatical competences, the ability to edit texts, future philologists improve their sense of language, develop skills of conviction in the appropriate use of a word, turning to dictionaries to find out its meaning or correct grammatical form. The article draws attention to the importance of working with reference sources for the formation of professional competences of philologists. Different ways of using dictionaries and other reference information at different stages of classes during the development of language and speech competences of philology students are described. Working with a dictionary is effective if students are able to freely select language units that correspond to the speech intention. Working with reference literature teaches self-education, contributes to the formation of conviction in the reliability of facts. The formation of the need to use dictionaries is the result of the professional training of philology students, because the ability to search, process and analyze information from various sources is developed throughout the entire period of study.
 Keywords: reference sources; word meaning; dictionary article; lexicological; grammatical; speech competences; morpheme structure; morpheme analysis.

한국어 교재 어미 출현 분포의 정보학

The purpose of this study is to find and discuss linguistics implications that can be found in the distribution of endings in Korean textbooks through quantitative analysis of listening and reading passages in Korean textbooks. Through this work, we will have more meaningful information about the distributional characteristics of the appearance of endings in Korean textbooks, and it is expected that this information can be used as an objective basis for seeking improvements in Korean textbooks. This study used Korean textbooks published by Seoul National University as analysis data. Python was used as an analysis tool. The kkma morpheme analyzer included in the konlpy package was used. For analysis, functions such as ‘kkma.sentences()’, ‘kkma.morphos()’, ‘kkma.pos()’, and ‘len()’ were applied. I went through the process of configuring it as a data frame using the pandas library. Through this process, it was possible to know the characteristics of the type frequency and appearance frequency of final endings, pre-final endings, conjunctive endings, and function-converting endings in listening and reading passages, respectively. In addition, the necessary items for the kkma morpheme analyzer to perform more appropriate endings analysis were also mentioned.
