초록
This study uses a structural priming paradigm to explore whether two causatives in Korean (morphological vs. syntactic) encode the meaning of causation with different degrees of directness (direct vs. indirect). Forty-six native Korean-speaking adults participated in a priming task, in which they were asked first to describe a cartoon by repeating either a morphological causative or a syntactic causative and then to describe a target cartoon in their own words. The results showed that Korean-speaking adults were sensitive to the mapping relation between the causative form and the causation type in that they were more likely to use the morphological causative with direct causation and the syntactic one with indirect causation. However, it was also found that they were willing to associate the syntactic causative with direct causation, when given the syntactic causative prime. This suggests that the distinction between the causative form and the causation type in Korean can be explained in terms of preference or prototype effects, rather than an exclusive mapping.
Abstract
This study uses a structural priming paradigm to explore whether two causatives in Korean (morphological vs. syntactic) encode the meaning of causation with different degrees of directness (direct vs. indirect). Forty-six native Korean-speaking adults participated in a priming task, in which they were asked first to describe a cartoon by repeating either a morphological causative or a syntactic causative and then to describe a target cartoon in their own words. The results showed that Korean-speaking adults were sensitive to the mapping relation between the causative form and the causation type in that they were more likely to use the morphological causative with direct causation and the syntactic one with indirect causation. However, it was also found that they were willing to associate the syntactic causative with direct causation, when given the syntactic causative prime. This suggests that the distinction between the causative form and the causation type in Korean can be explained in terms of preference or prototype effects, rather than an exclusive mapping.
