    This study intends primarily to identify some major restrictions in meaning in the concord relationships between words. The materials presented in this study have been collected from various sources such as Korean course books and textbooks for foreign learners, Korean language learners' essays and composition, bilingual dictionaries and everyday language. The study identifies five semantic restrictions such as restriction in usage of words and discusses each case.

    Journal Article
    By examining fundamental Confucian concepts -- zhengming, ren, li, xiao, shu and dao -- the essay demonstrates that Confucian ways of thinking do not always fit neatly into categories such as 'moral' or rights'. The author provides a positive interpretation of certain Confucian ideas including: the concept of a person as a self- in- relation; the notion of responsibility as particularistic and dependent upon the kinds of relationships one has and the social positions one occupies; and the view of the moral community as comprised by selves- in- relation who are reciprocally connected and who share similar ideals and forms of life.

    Working Paper
    This paper focuses on the relationship between the labour market and the distribution of income. It begins with a thorough analysis of the distribution of wage and salary income among the full-time labour force. This analysis shows the importance of the number of earners to the overall distributional location of Australian income units, and also locates the distribution of wage incomes within the broader distributional picture. An analysis of the factors contributing to the change in the distribution of wage incomes over the 1980s is then undertaken before the relationship between the distributions of wage incomes and disposable incomes is explored. There, it is shown that other income components (including government benefits and taxes) can have significant distributional effects which markedly change the distributional rankings of individual workers. These relationships are also explored using a range of international data for OECD countries. Finally, an attempt is made to impute a value to time spent outside of the labour market and the consequences of combining this with wage incomes is explored, both in terms of levels and distributions, for Australia and four other countries: Canada, (West) Germany, Netherlands and the United States.

    Working Paper
    This paper discusses issues associated with the measurement of poverty and how future trends in work and welfare will affect poverty in Australia, One of the main aims is to illustrate why and in what sense the measurement of poverty remains important in the broader policy debate. The role of budget standards in the development of poverty benchmarks is discussed, as are the limitations of the current method of updating the poverty line. Some possible ways of dealing with these are explored with the help of empirical data. The relationship between labour force status and poverty status is then explored using data from the latest (1990) household income survey. This is followed by a discussion of how income units at different points in the income distribution, and according to whether they are above or below the poverty line, evaluate their own perceived level of happiness and health status. Many of the differences revealed in the data are shown to vary significantly with the poverty status of the unit. Finally, the paper canvasses some of the issues associated with labour market changes and what these imply for future trends in poverty and income support policies.

    Conference Paper
    The paper argues against a need for rules, etc., to the extent that they are attempts to control events by means of a framework set up beforehand. It suggests that they are not needed if people are already acting with integrity, and that, at the very least, they are unhelpful if people are not. At worst, they are a stultifying barrier against getting anything done, they facilitate the evasion of responsibility, and they provide justifications for power games. The paper describes two examples illustrating these points.
