초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the acquisition of English verb subcategorization features by Korean college students. On the basis of the meaning of verb constructions produced according to subcategorization features, 42 verbs associated with 21 subcategorization features were selected. For the study, 102 low-intermediate fresh students at a Korean university participated in a grammaticality judgment test, an English to Korean translation test, and a Korean to English translation test. The grammaticality judgment test designed to examine the ability to recognize the correct subcategorization feature of a given verb showed that subcategorization features for 22 verbs were recognized by more than half of the participants. The English to Korean translation test designed to examine the ability to understand the meaning of a sentence generated according to a subcategorization feature revealed that sentences produced according to subcategorization features for 34 verbs were comprehended by more than half of the participants. The Korean to English translation test designed to examine the ability to produce a sentence according to a subcategorization feature showed that correct sentences on the basis of subcategorization features for 11 verbs were produced by more than half of the participants. The participants' ability to produce sentences according to subcategorization features was significantly low compared to their ability to recognize correct subcatgorization features and to understand sentences produced according to subcategorization features.
