研究室紹介
Professor Kyung Hwan Jo's research lab focuses on interdisciplinary studies spanning public health, linguistic semantics, and food science. The lab investigates health outcomes related to obesity and kidney cancer in Asian populations, explores the syntactic and aspectual distinctions in East Asian languages—particularly the nuances between 'result' and 'telicity' in Korean and Chinese—while also conducting applied research on food preservation using gamma irradiation to enhance shelf life and microbial safety. The lab integrates epidemiological data, corpus-based linguistic analysis, and experimental food science to address both societal health challenges and theoretical questions in language structure.

15Limited evidence exists regarding associations between obesity and kidney cancer among Asians. We examined the associations between obesity measures and risk of kidney cancer. We included 23,313,046 adults who underwent health examinations provided by the Korean National Health Insurance Service 2009–2012 and performed multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. During 5.4 years of follow-up, 18,036 cases of kidney cancer were recorded, and cumulative incidence was 0.12%. General
一般“终结(telicity)”與“結果(Result)”有等同對待的傾向，如果两者相同，那麽就不能说明“他昨天寫了一封信,可是沒寫完”類句子爲何成立。本文主要以Smollette(2005)的見解爲依据，從终结事件既可以用有界来解释，又可以用無界来解釋的角度把结果從终结裏分離出来。 同时，另我們感到意外的是，使用被認爲是同一終结賓語的限定賓語時，終結事件的有界性比使用數量詞的終結事件的有界性弱，這種現象在“他昨天寫了給張三的信，可是没寫完”等句子中也能體現出来。一句話，終結只不過是提供了結果的可能性，而表現事件有界、無界的眞正因素是結果因素。
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of gamma irradiation for the improvement of hygienic quality and the extension of shelf-life of Kwamegi(semi-dried colobabis seira). Kwamegi was stored at and after gamma irradiation with doses of 0, 3, 5, 7 and 10 kGy. In microbiological aspects, non-irradiated Kwamegi was rapidly deteriorated during storage, and some harmful bacteria were detected in a microbial analysis using a selective medium. However, the total viable cells and presumpt
This study aimed to examine average height loss and the relationship between height loss and socioeconomic status (SES) among the elderly in South Korea.Data were obtained from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2010. A total of 5265 subjects (2818 men and 2447 women) were included. Height loss was calculated as the difference between the subject's self-reported maximum adult height and their measured current height. The height loss values were divided into quartile
一般情况下，“体(Aspect)”分“情况体(Situation Aspect)”和“視点体(Viewpoint Aspect)”。本文主要就“情况体”进行了论述，這类句子层面上的情况体是動词与宾語类论元結合，或是与介词短语类非论元結合而成的。 Verkuyl(2005)和Smith(1991,1994)提出了片面的体合成(aspectual composition)规则，而杨素英(1999)和 Xiao & McEnery(2004)提出了有关漢語的比较全面的体合成规则，不過這些规则中的一部分存在问题。本文就這一点以把字句的体合成過程为例，提出了与 Xiao & McEnery(2004)不同的观点，我们认为把字句的体合成過程是根据把字句的演变過程和時间顺序原则來實現的。如果‘了ㆍ着ㆍ过’有动相补语的性质的话，也可以参加体合成过程。
把字句是表示‘处置’的代表句型，使字句是表示‘致使’的代表句型。根据预料库的调查结果我们可以发现两個句子之间存在的不对称性，也就是说把字句的原型主语是事件，使字句的原型主语是人; 把字句的原型宾语是事物，使字句的原型宾语是人; 把字句的动词一般具有自主性，而使字句的动词具有非自主性。根据两個句子之间存在的不对称性，可以分辨出‘处置’和‘致使’是不同的，因此我们不能把‘处置’当作‘致使’，只不过是有少数把字句表示‘致使’之意而已。
Ba construction is one of the most popular construction in Chinese. Based on Construction Grammar and Cognitive Grammar, this article is focused on the extension process of Ba construction. As a construction is meaningful, Ba construction also is meaningful and has its own construction meaning. This kind of semantic change reflects on the history of Ba construction.
很多時間表現都源於空間表現，這可以說是一種跨語言現象。韓國語和英語中的‘前/後’呈現出對稱現象，而漢語中的‘前/後’則呈現出不對稱現象。這是由於韓國語和英語具有時間的水平傾向，而漢語卻具有時間的豎直傾向。由此，漢語適應於時間的傾斜模型，用此模型我們可以解釋‘前/後’的不對稱現象。
Although The Ba-construction is probably the best-known syntactic construction in Mandarin Chinese, but there are still many problems we can’t solve. In this article, We reviewed four types of Ba-NPVle Construction, and realized that each construction has own aspectual feature and different processes of aspectual composition. Therefore we have to focus on interaction of the new aspectual feature of verb, animacy of the participants, phase complement ‘le’, and Ba-construction itself.
