This paper presents a proposal for standard translation of the preface by Sejong in the Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon. As a first step in presenting a proposal for standard translation of the full text of the Haeryebon, the paper presents a proposal for standard translation of the preface, the most important and popular text. Accordingly, this paper first examined the existing principal translations, twenty-six of them. These were compared with the government textbook translation (High School Korean II), considered to be a semi-standard translation. Through this process, a proposal for standard translation was obtained as follows. ulinala mal-i jungguggwa dalla hanja-waneun seolo tonghaji anh-eumeulo eoliseog-eun baegseong-i malhagoja haneun baga iss-eodo kkeutnae je tteus-eul pyeoji moshaneun salam-i manh-eunila. naega igeos-eul ga-yeobsge yeogyeo saelo seumul-yeodeolb geuljaleul mandeuni, modeun salamdeullo ha-yeogeum swibge ighyeoseo nalmada sseuneun de pyeonhage hagoja hal ttaleum-inila.

(The speech of our country, being different from those of China, cannot be expressed with Chinese characters. Therefore, there are many people, simple commoners, despite wanting to have their say, who are unable to fulfill their desire. Finding this pitiful, I am creating anew twenty-eight characters, no more than to make it convenient for all people to easily learn and use them every day.)

The aim of this study is to show the performative aspect of the responses to request in a preschool children. The lack of response is performed frequently in the boy's utterances than girl's. This study classified the response into a linguistic response and a behavior response. The former is categorized a basic response, a extensive response, etc. In the accepting response, a behavior response is found the boy's utterances high at high frequency. In the denying response, the difference is not found by a sex and age. A self-centered response except a basic response and a extensive response is performed frequently. We concluded that the interaction ability is in a process of development.

The present study aims at clarifying the relationship between synonym and antonym with respect to their semantic similarity other than their differentiation. It's believed that the two items consisting of antonymy occupy different positions where one excludes the other from the same semantic field. Here we examined the inter-relationship between the two categories in a two-choice reaction time (RT) based on the lexical decision task and ERPs(Event-related Potentials) signatures. As expected, RTs were shorter for the condition of antonym than that of synonym relation possibly due to the prominence over the synonymous words. However no difference is found between antonym and unrelated word class. For the ERPs' component, P300s (positive peak at about 300ms after the stimulus onset) and N400s (negative peak around 400ms) morphology of the ERP reflecting the perceptual familiarity among the stimuli and semantic distance respectively, were found in all conditions. Though synonym and antonym were not differentiated in the P300, they both produced larger P300 response than other words in the unrelated condition. By contrast, the N400 of them recruited the difference in its amplitude mainly over the frontal areas. These results suggest that the structure of synonym and antonym should be constructed via identical semantic space indexed as the P300 as well as the N400 critical difference based on the specific semantic feature.
