    In the field of computational linguistics, this study aims to investigate how multi-word expressions, which play an important role in disambiguating text meaning and effectively communicating a paper’s content, are represented as word embeddings in large-scale language models (LLMs) and utilized in context. Additionally, we identify multi-word expressions (MWEs) such as “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning” through phrase mining in scientific papers, extract acronyms such as “AI” and “GPT”, and analyze the characteristics of technical terms using MWE word embeddings. To achieve this, this study not only collects 41,230 abstracts from recent international academic papers related to ChatGPT but also extracts and analyzes the MWEs in these abstracts. In addition, it extends the application of word embeddings for MWEs in natural language processing and seeks to understand the process of integrating natural language processing technology with the workings of generative AI. - COLLAPSE

    Needs-Based Korean Language and Support System for International Students: The Case of Vietnamese Students in Vietnam and Korea

    This study investigates the linguistic and academic adjustment of Vietnamese graduate students in Korea, focusing on challenges and support needs across pre- and post-arrival phases. Using a mixed-methods design, the data were collected from 48 participants (17 pre-arrival, 31 post-arrival) through interviews and surveys. Language barriers were identified as the most significant academic challenge, with additional difficulties in communication with professors and in understanding course content. A majority (70.97%) expressed intentions to pursue employment in Korea after graduation. Chi-square analysis showed a trend-level association between Korean proficiency, part-time work experience, and settlement intent (χ² = 14.90, p = .093) in the Korean context, while Spearman’s correlation revealed a moderate positive relationship between language skills and willingness to settle (ρ = 0.32, p = 0.075). These findings highlight the importance of tailored, practice-based Korean language programs linked to career pathways. Institutional efforts should address not only Korean for Academic and Occupational Purposes (KAOP), especially in beauty and service industries, but also support graduate-level international students’ integration and retention. - COLLAPSE

    This study explores the English learning experiences of two college students majoring in sports-related fields through a narrative inquiry approach. Both students had previously taken the researcher’s College English classes. The study focuses on their experiences before and after entering university and the meanings they ascribe to those experiences. Analysis was conducted using the “three-dimensional narrative inquiry space” framework proposed by Clandinin and Connelly (2000), which considers temporality, sociality, and place. The narratives span the participants’ experiences from elementary school to university. Findings reveal that both students, who were student-athletes before entering university, had limited exposure to English instruction due to the demands of balancing sports and academics. However, after entering university, they strongly recognized the necessity and importance of learning English. These results underscore the need for further research into customized English learning programs and motivational strategies for students in sports-related majors. - COLLAPSE

    An Ellipsis Analysis of Gapping in Korean

    This paper examines two types of constructions in Korean that correspond, in different respects, to the gapping construction in English. It argues that these two types of constructions can be given a unified account through a variant of VP ellipsis analysis involving focus movement followed by deletion under identity. It is claimed that the proposed analysis not only accounts for the patterns that cannot be easily accounted for by the ATB movement analysis, but also circumvents the problems associated with the focus movement analysis. Furthermore, two potential problems for the proposed analysis, those involving the reciprocal pronoun selo ‘each other’ and a negative polarity item (NPI) like amwukes-to ‘anything-also’, are shown not to be actual problems, as their behaviors can be accounted for on independent grounds. - COLLAPSE

    The Impact of Integrating Handwritten Drafts and AI-Assisted Revisions on EFL Learners’ Self-Directed Writing Skills

    This study aims to examine the impact of integrating handwritten drafts and AI-assisted revisions on EFL learners’ self-directed writing skills in a Korean university classroom. Data collected from writing samples and questionnaires provided both qualitative and quantitative insights. The findings indicate that handwriting facilitated idea generation, planning, and cognitive engagement, while AI-assisted revisions enhanced linguistic accuracy and writing confidence through targeted feedback. The combined use of both modalities promoted learners’ self-directed writing skills, critical reflection, and the adoption of process-oriented revision strategies. While students reported increased self-awareness and motivation, they also expressed concerns regarding overreliance on AI and emphasized the need to balance traditional and digital approaches. These results emphasize the value of thoughtfully blending analog and digital writing practices to cultivate resilient and adaptable writing skills in EFL contexts. - COLLAPSE

    Perception of Mock Impoliteness across Cultures

    Mock impoliteness refers to the playful use of seemingly rude language, often serving as a bonding strategy among close interlocutors (Napoli, 2024). While such linguistic behavior is common in certain English-speaking contexts, its perception may vary across cultures. This study compares how British native speakers and Korean learners of English perceive and evaluate mock impoliteness remarks. Participants completed a questionnaire rating the offensiveness of teasing utterances within familiar social contexts. Results indicate that British participants generally interpret mock impoliteness as humorous and affiliative, whereas Korean learners are more likely to perceive it as genuinely offensive or inappropriate. Drawing on frameworks of Oatey’s (2008) rapport management, Culpeper’s (2011) impoliteness model, and Goddard and Wierzbicka’s (2004) cultural scripts, the study highlights culturally grounded differences in pragmatic interpretation. These findings underscore the importance of developing intercultural awareness for effective communication in English as a global language. - COLLAPSE
