This paper constitutes the initial phase of a large-scale research project that aims to explore the relationship between inter- and intra-individual difference factors in foreign language (L2) acquistion. In an effort to lay the groundwork for a systematic approach to this burgeoning area of research, the present study overviews previous theoretical insights and empirical findings associated with the potential constructs of linguistic sensitivity and proposes a tentative model that is practically useful for designing a measurement tool. The model consists of four dynamic dimensions: mode-sensory preferences in language processing and use, sensitivity scales in each component of linguistic competence, inclinations in language function, and finally metalinguistic consciousness and strategic control for development. Based on this model and data collected from interviews with L2 learners and expert reviews, a self-reporting questionnaire with 62 items is constructed that can effectively address the needs of profiling learner characteristics in classroom settings as well as the goal of subsequent research efforts to investigate the role of linguistic sensitivity in L2 learning and teaching.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
