A poet expresses his emotion or thought with some materials. A crow and a white heron which contrast in their external color and shape are often compared whin poems by Sijo writers. By the way, the writers' cognition and value-judgement is various, in a case is opposite each other. Such variousness or difference results from their own viewpoint of their social position or the relationship between high and low inborn positions. One poet insists that a person born with low status should be ugly and lack of morality and another poet claims that a person born with high status should be ugly and lack of morality. Such dispute are revived by other writers and denied by writers standing neutral position. And Ji-won, Park, a famous Korean novelist in the period of later middle, asserts another opinion; nobody can overcome his own inborn position and making efforts to retain morality is most important above all. After all, Sijo poet's attitude toward a crow and a white heron is determined his thought of social cosmos.I wish that this study would be help of finding classic values at Sijo texts.

This paper surveyed the Choi In-hun's novels, “Seoyugi" and “Chongdok-ui Sori" in post-colonial points of view.In “Seoyugi", the colonial unconsciousness of Dokgo Jun who is author’s other self is being visible through the illusions. Seeking the origin of disillusions is described as returning to the “W" city. Dokgo Jun's travel to the past is for seeking the origin of existence of himself, at result he could get close examination in self of present time. And Choi confirmed that contradiction and pressure were related to the Korean history in “Seoyugi".In “Chongdok-ui Sori", Choi perceived his identity, and not only revealed the dominant discourse of those days but also pointed out neo-colonial imperialism by the narrative strategy of appropriation, that is imitating the empire. and he tried to ridicule the authority and main discourse of empire, and wanted destruction of imperial culture. It is a representative descriptive skill that revealing the mechanism of imperial discourse.Choi described his conception of post-colonialism through the experimental formality. And he could bring relief into many problems of those days, because he had a wide appreciation, vast knowledge, and balanced conception of world history. Finally he could expressed the right conception of post-colonialism, and pointed out the structure of colonial pressure of those days very vividly.

Discourse analysis and textlinguistics are useful viewpoints and methods for formal or linguistic approaches to literary texts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the topics and methods of applying discourse/textlinguistic analysis to literary works, focusing on the main concepts and aspects of pragmatics. I surveyed discourse/text studies in literary texts, and discussed seven topics of pragmatics or textlinguistics about literary texts. Negation of presupposition signifies reflection or doubt on existing values and thoughts.Implicature leads readers to positive semantic interpretation. Demonstratives/Pronouns are used to express the viewpoint or attitude of the writer or the narrator on presons and objects.Anaphora, cohesion and coherence are used to consolidate the organic unity and integration of the text.Speech acts are illocutionary acts performed under felicity conditions. In literary texts, felicity conditions are violated intentionally and especially indirect speech acts are used for communicative needs and effects. Cooperative principle of conversation consists of four maxims (quantity, quality, relation, manner). In some cases, however, these maxims are violated for ambiguity, emphasis on conflict, and satire.The main points in discourse/text structure analysis are conversational structure, information flow and rhetorical structure; especially, topic continuity, micro/macro structure, turntaking of speakers and discourse marker.

Loan words are referred to as naturalized words imported from foreign languages, which have their original forms or have been changed in pronunciation, form, and meaning. Also they are defined to be socially customized in their usage. This paper makes out a list of loan words from Korean-Japanese vocabularies of learning and dictionaries to grasp their aspects in each analytical item.The data for analysis in this paper is limited to those in the Korean-Japanese vocabularies of learning and dictionaries. As a result, we can find out on the side of lexical items in common usage with a high degree of understanding that Korean has many word pairs of a Sino or inherent word-a loan word, whereas Japanese has a strong tendency to use loan words generally though it has forms of Sino words and inherent words with the same meanings. This might mean that the phenomenon of shift from old words to new words is more vivid in Japanese. However, it would be a hasty derivation of conclusions to judge and interpret as above with the lexical analysis of the vocabularies for learning and dictionaries. In order to judge and observe this kind of language phenomenon objectively, we should investigate words from language activities in realities by collecting enough data of spoken language as well as written languages. It is equally necessary to collect statistics on data from questionnaires of the degrees of understanding and usage of loan words along with the analysis of actual data. Thus, it should be expected to draw an objective conclusion with the elimination of researchers' subjective judgments by supplementing these deficient parts and methodologies.

In this paper, I explain the macro-system of the electronic dictionary which are being built in the 21st Sejong Project of Korean Ministry of Culture & Tourism. The Sejong electronic dictionary consists of cheeon(in Korean) dictionary—which is again composed of proper noun dictionary, simple noun dictionary, complex noun dictionary, defective noun‧numerals‧pronoun dictionary, root‧suffix dictionary, yongeon(in Korean) dictionary, adverb dictionary, josa(in Korean)‧ending dictionary, adnominals dictionary, exclamation dictionary, collocation dictionary, idiomatic expression dictionary, complex noun phrase dictionary, special word dictionary. In addition, I discuss some significances and problems of the Sejong electronic dictionary.

1. I classified the function of caption from the viewpoint of information and made an analysis the character of program in connection with it.2. "Cause, Object, Effect" lie in the mechanism of caption-producing. And those enter the function of caption directly. The differentiation of the functions of caption is affected by them.3. Caption has three major function. The first is "compensation" for insufficiency part of conveyance of information, the second is "substitution" for the carrier of information, and the third is "addition" of information.4. Culture program is apt to use the function of compensation for insufficiency part of conveyance of information, for the purpose of explanation of rapid situation shift which is generated for offering several knowledges. 5. Report program and documentary program, basically, don't have a tendency to use caption. But they used to make practical application of caption as device of compensation for insufficiency part of conveyance of information in case a news source is not a skillful person. 6. Current events program will use the function of compensation for insufficiency part of conveyance of information and that of substitution for the carrier of information, for the rapid situation shift and persuasion the TV audience.7. Entertainment program has a tendency of making the most of the caption in order to amplify enjoyment. Therefore we can easily discover the caption with the function of addition of information.8. This approach and attitude for caption can develope into a tool for verification of that.
