Thesis title: Semantic Theories and the Foundation of Bilingual Lexicography
This is a well studied and well presented piece of research. The candidate has selected three major
themes in semantic theory and practice—corpus analysis, frame semantics, and prototype theory—and
applied them to problems in Korean-English lexicography. He has a good grasp of the subject and he
offers some insightful comments. After showing the relevance of the research to problems in bilingual
lexicography, the candidate proceeds to offer a fine-grained contrastive monolingual analysis of English
Lexicography
lexicography, the candidate proceeds to offer a fine-grained contrastive monolingual analysis of English
near synonyms (confirm / ascertain), in which he not only used corpus data, but also consulted the
intuitions of two native speakers (one British, one North American). I would normally recommend a
larger sample of native speakers, but in this case the candidate appears to have been wise (or fortunate)
in his choice of informants—ie., their intuitions generally concur with my own! The candidate has
adopted a good methodology and applied it intelligently; he is an independent thinker, and he has made
a valuable contribution to knowledge.

2014-16. Research, design, technical exploration, and business development for Engle
2009. Launched a prototype Koedori (http://www.koedori.com), which provides a crude
form of the Engle’s multi-phrase search. It is currently down due to trouble with the data
source (Yahoo).

7. User response to Koedori
• Orange County: When I first came across this website I was doubtful of its usage, but I have to admit
that it has helped me throughout my essay. I was able to polish my English and correct
grammatically faulty expressions. As an English learner, it is always tricky to remember the proper
prepositions placed before verbs and noun; however, through Koedori I was able to adjust many of
these confusing mistakes. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyS/12
• Mellow : I used Koedori for over a month and I find the website very useful because I was able to
improve my writing skill. As it is with most Korean students, I have trouble with writing because of
the different grammatical structure between Korean and English. Though I learnt grammar at
school, I cannot remember all the grammar rules and sometimes cannot understand why some

school, I cannot remember all the grammar rules and sometimes cannot understand why some
sentences have to be written in certain ways. So Koedori is a useful site to find out grammatical
errors easily. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyS/13
• 율려율려율려율려 : thanks for your kindness. It’s a miracle. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyT/1
• RONDY: This site is exactly what I was looking for! All those time i searched for a site like this but it
was here after all;; cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyT/1
• 이혜승이혜승이혜승이혜승: Wow! I think it's really helpful. I usually go to websites to see whether expressions I make
are correct or not. But soon found out that there are too many and I get confused what is really
right. I should recommend it to my students as well. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyT/1
• IHAVE: This site is bloody good! I've fallen in love with .. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/JlWa/3438

• Amare: 와우 정말 영작하는 사람에겐 must have 아이템이네요.

Translation: Wow, this is really a must-have for those who write English.
• Nin999: 1. 문제: 인터넷을 이용하여 - by internet 인지 on the internet인지 헷갈려서요~ 2. 입력: [by/on]
[0/the] internet 3. 결과: on the internet이 82%로 나왔습니다!! on internet도 몇가지 나왔는데 보면 on

탁월합니다. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyS/7

Translation: I was trying to express “Internet-ul iyonghayo” and unsure whether it is “by internet” or
“on the internet”. So I entered “[by/on] [0/the] internet”, and “on the internet” had 82%. .. This is
great. I was originally going to use “by internet” but remembered hearing “on the internet” quite
often. So I checked, and this is great.
• Anicom: 정말 유용한 것 같습니다. 예전에는 Google에서 'have a fun', 'have fun' 등을 각각 입력
후 빈도수를 확인했는데...꾀돌이는 검색 옵션도 간단하고 빈도수에 따른 퍼센트(%)를 제공해서 제대로 된
영문인지 한 눈에 파악하기가 훨씬 쉬운 것 같습니다. cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/5UyS/1
Translation: I think this is really useful. Previously I had to Google ‘have a fun’, ‘have fun’, etc. and
check their frequencies separately, but Koedori provides a simple search method and percentages
so I can get the result in a single view.

Translation: When I write English I often struggle with the definite article. Using Koedori makes it
easier.

Translation: I have used Koedori and it’s really good. When I was using dictionaries I felt frustrated
because of the limited amount of examples, but using Koedori a few times has made me feel fresh
and live. I’ve decided to be good friends with Koedori.

verbs, but seeing the examples makes me say “Aha!”.

Title: A Causal Approach to Transitivity
This is a rigorously argued thesis on a topic of importance ... Some recent work on transitivity and
causality is not directly addressed but this need not be seen as detracting from the overall high quality
and theoretical interest of the candidate’s proposals. ...
The claims made about the event structure realized in this particular verb are tested against naturally
Theoretical linguistics
The claims made about the event structure realized in this particular verb are tested against naturally
occurring data on the Web. This data-gathering approach is justified in some detail and what appears to
be an original method of data extraction by ‘control’ phrases is presented. ...
In the viva examination ... the examiners were generally impressed by the candidate’s response to
challenging questioning both about general theoretical points, in particular the core claim about the role
of ‘causality’ in the definition and analysis of transitivity, and also about detailed matters concerning the
data being presented. ...
The examiners were of the opinion that the thesis contained material that was worthy of publication ...

(Original available at: http://cafe.daum.net/lovewriting/FpIb/4)
Jinseung has worked with us since 1999 as a translator and supervisor in the area of Korean English
translation. His performance in our organization has been outstanding. A native speaker of Korean with a
native command of English, he has been able to produce works of superb quality. Hence, we quickly
promoted him to the position of supervising and finalizing most of our Korean English translations,
and his input has helped expand our customer base, despite our relatively high fees.
Translation
He has played a leading role in many important translation projects. For instance, when he participated
in the translation project for the statues of the Financial Supervisory Commission ... the project leaders
invited him as a translation supervisor and advisor.
