This study tests the complexity hypothesis that syntactic structures involving amore complex representation impose a greater processing load. I show thatKorean psych verbs that exhibit a three-way structural distinction (Belletti &Rizzi 1988) differ in the syntactic and semantic complexity. In particular, thecausative object Experiencer construction is associated with more structure andcomplex semantics, compared with the two types of subject Experiencerconstructions. Experiment 1 demonstrates that the more complicated causativepsych verb group incurs a higher processing cost. In Experiment 2, it isrevealed that the causative configuration is less likely to be used whenspeakers have access to simpler structural options. The results of the presentstudy on Korean psych verbs imply that the complexity hypothesis isfunctional at both comprehension and production levels. Comparisons andcontrasts with English psych verb studies are discussed. Finally, somealternative accounts are considered and refuted.
Abstract
This study tests the complexity hypothesis that syntactic structures involving amore complex representation impose a greater processing load. I show thatKorean psych verbs that exhibit a three-way structural distinction (Belletti &Rizzi 1988) differ in the syntactic and semantic complexity. In particular, thecausative object Experiencer construction is associated with more structure andcomplex semantics, compared with the two types of subject Experiencerconstructions. Experiment 1 demonstrates that the more complicated causativepsych verb group incurs a higher processing cost. In Experiment 2, it isrevealed that the causative configuration is less likely to be used whenspeakers have access to simpler structural options. The results of the presentstudy on Korean psych verbs imply that the complexity hypothesis isfunctional at both comprehension and production levels. Comparisons andcontrasts with English psych verb studies are discussed. Finally, somealternative accounts are considered and refuted.
