Effects of NP Type on L2 Processing of Relative Clauses
This study presents the results of an online experiment with Korean L2 learners of English reading subject and object relative clauses (SRCs, ORCs). In particular, it aims to explore the effects of NP type on L2 RC processing by manipulating the kind of nominals inside RCs: lexical NP and pronoun. Reading time (RT) results and offline comprehension accuracy from sixty-six Korean L2 learners of English and fifteen native English speakers reveal a clear pronoun advantage for the ORC for both L1 adults and L2 learners. These findings suggest that L2 learners, like native English speakers, are sensitive to discourse accessibility of referents in processing long-distance dependencies.
期刊介绍:
LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS (ISSN:1606-822X; Online ISSN: 2309-5067) is an academic publication of the Institute of Linguistics at Academia Sinica. Established in 2000, it publishes research in general and theoretical linguistics on the languages of East Asia and the Pacific region, including Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, and the Austroasiatic and Altaic language families (Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages are not included). LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS publishes both a journal and a monograph series. LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS is a pure linguistics journal. We only publish articles on (descriptive and theoretical) linguistic studies but not articles on applied linguistics such as language teaching or language learning.
