    This study aims to analyze the recent innovative changes in LLMs related to ChatGPT through neologism extraction and word embedding analysis. To this end, this paper collects 26,010 abstracts of international academic papers related to ChatGPT from November 2022 to April 2024. It extracts and analyzes the neologisms appearing in these abstracts by focusing on acronyms. Acronyms are frequently used in scientific texts such as AI or ChatGPT. The paper also analyzes the characteristics of word embedding, which quantifies the semantic similarity of words in the abstracts and seeks to understand and utilize how new concepts and terms are introduced and spread in the field of natural language processing. This research is one proper methodology for knowledge discovery. - COLLAPSE

    The study aims to find out the effects of the online international teaching practicum conducted by one educational university in Korea. The final reports of the 80 student-teachers were categorized and analyzed to learn what they have gained from the online teaching practicum. First, the participants acquired new perspectives on education and the role of teachers and gained assurance for the careers of primary teachers. Second, The participants learned that they should observe various classes of in-service teachers; they need efficient communication skills in classrooms, including using proper questions; and they recognized the importance of student-centered classes by comparing the talk time between a teacher and students. Third, the participants have changed their attitudes toward using English for genuine communication, and the positive attitudes gave them more confidence in using English, eventually making them effective communicators. Fourth, the participants thought they had invaluable experiences using online learning and teaching opportunities as learners and pre-service teachers. Furthermore, some participants strongly suggested the possibility of developing an online international teaching practicum as an independent program. - COLLAPSE

    As the English education crisis is currently being discussed in Korea, this study examines the discourse on this issue based on the media articles and academic papers, and further explores the direction of college English education. Recently, English-related departments have been reported to be the most frequently closed in Korean universities. It was also found that the importance of English has decreased since the subject was changed to an absolute grading system in the college entrance exam. In addition, as universities have recently opened digital literacy & AI-related courses, the number of college English classes has been significantly reduced in many universities. Now, college English education should serve to develop integrated thinking skills necessary in the 4th Industrial Revolution era. This is a call to action for English instructors and researchers to unite their voice, with individuals and organizations needing to make efforts to overcome the English education crisis in Korea. This study suggests follow-up research on teaching methods and curriculum for college English education appropriate for the 4th Industrial Revolution era and cooperation between English instructors and related academic societies. - COLLAPSE

    Understanding Temporal Expressions in Russian: A Study of “в” (v) and “на” (na)

    This study investigates the temporal uses of the Russian prepositions “в” (in) and “на” (on) and their interaction with the accusative and locative cases. Drawing on the TIME IS SPACE metaphor, which suggests that our understanding of time is grounded in spatial experiences, this paper explores how these prepositions are employed to convey temporal meanings. Despite extensive research on the spatial uses of these prepositions, there is a paucity of studies comparing their temporal applications, particularly regarding case selection. Using a corpus analysis, we examine the frequency and context of “в” and “на” in temporal expressions, aiming to uncover patterns that shed light on the cognitive motivations behind their usage. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between spatial and temporal language in Russian, offering insights into both theoretical linguistics and language learning. - COLLAPSE

    Addressees as Applied Arguments

    It is often assumed that all arguments undergo external merge (EM) inside the thematic domain. Based on this standard assumption, applied arguments are introduced below TP. This work provides crosslinguistic evidence suggesting that not all applied arguments are introduced in this fashion. It shows that discourse participants are applied arguments introduced in the left periphery. We collect evidence from Meadow Mari, southern dialects of Basque, Galician, Lebanese Arabic, and Magahi. The phenomena involve control constructions, case assignment, clitic realizations, and honorific mismatches. A theoretical implication of this work is that an argument-introducing head can be realized in CP. Hence, A-properties can be observed in what is often considered to be an A’-domain. Consequently, this work calls for a re-conceptualization of 𝜃-roles. The semantic-role that a nominal argument bears is largely determined by the syntactic context in which it undergoes EM. - COLLAPSE

    Contrastive Connector Usage Patterns in English Writing by Korean Learners

    This study examines how English as a foreign language (EFL) students in Korean colleges use contrastive connectors in their academic writing. It analyzes the second-language (L2) writing samples of Korean EFL writers (non-native speakers: NNS), focusing on the frequency and positional distribution of contrastive connectors such as but and however, and compares them with a corpus of native English writers (native speakers: NS). Findings show that NNS tended to use, but more and with a simpler and shorter clause, but no remarkable difference can be observed in the use of however. In addition, usage patterns show differences among different corpora, especially in the case of but when it is located initially in the sentence. Finally, the paper concludes with some pedagogical implications. - COLLAPSE

    This study explores the effectiveness of a genre-based approach in enhancing teaching methods for Oral Proficiency Interview-computer (OPIc) speaking tasks. Traditional methods often emphasize rote memorization, limiting authentic communication. By categorizing OPIc speaking tasks into genres such as personal narratives, descriptive tasks, comparative analyses, and situational role-plays, educators can provide more targeted instruction that aligns with the specific requirements of each type of speaking tasks. This approach helps learners organize their responses more effectively and enhances their ability to use language purposefully and contextually. This method emphasizes understanding communicative purposes, structural elements, and linguistic features, which fosters deeper engagement and flexibility in language use. Furthermore, the genre-based approach facilitates a deeper engagement with the material, as learners are encouraged to think critically about the function and context of their language use. This method moves beyond the superficial memorization of responses, fostering a more profound and flexible understanding of language. - COLLAPSE
