Lee, On-Soon. (2019). Readers’ language experience in generating Korean wh-constructions. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 27(3), 149-171. This study investigates the role of language experience, which is shaped by the distributional patterns occurring in input, in structural preferences in language production. In order to accomplish this purpose, a corpus analysis and a sentence completion experiment were conducted. Specifically, thirty-six Korean-speaking adults participated in the experiment, in which they read and completed sentence fragments including either a scrambled or an in-situ wh-phrase. When the participants generated questions, they attached the question-marking particle to a verb as soon as possible after encountering the wh-phrase, suggesting an active dependency formation mechanism. This finding supports the Active Filler Strategy hypothesis, a major account for the processing of filler-gap dependencies, but does not support any effect of the readers’ linguistic experience. |
