This paper delves into L2 acquisition status about more sophisticated wh-questions patterns, compared to Lee(2017)'s argument that relative gap distance would be conclusive in distinguishing the (un)acceptability in a sentence. Meanwhile, this version is closely related with that-trace filter, CNPC and interpretative ambiguity on gapping. That is to say, considering that it remains unclear how to figure out more syntactically tough principle besides knowingly simple constraints, it is meaningful to catch their acquisition difference of between L1ers and L2ers. Here, three predictions are argued: first, L2ers will feel challenged to compare relative and complement clause, second, That-trace filter and CNPC are likely to be acquired to some degree, third, gap interpretation caused by the sentence-final PP will bring about syntactic confusion. Eventually, these hypotheses above are accepted by considerably understandable rate of L2ers selected.
Abstract
This paper delves into L2 acquisition status about more sophisticated wh-questions patterns, compared to Lee(2017)'s argument that relative gap distance would be conclusive in distinguishing the (un)acceptability in a sentence. Meanwhile, this version is closely related with that-trace filter, CNPC and interpretative ambiguity on gapping. That is to say, considering that it remains unclear how to figure out more syntactically tough principle besides knowingly simple constraints, it is meaningful to catch their acquisition difference of between L1ers and L2ers. Here, three predictions are argued: first, L2ers will feel challenged to compare relative and complement clause, second, That-trace filter and CNPC are likely to be acquired to some degree, third, gap interpretation caused by the sentence-final PP will bring about syntactic confusion. Eventually, these hypotheses above are accepted by considerably understandable rate of L2ers selected.
