This paper investigates whether Korean null pronouns are biased towards subject reference and overt pronouns towards object reference as predicted by the Position of Antecedent Hypothesis (PAH; Carminati 2002), initially proposed for Italian. In particular, in order to distinguish whether pronoun resolution is governed by syntactic or information structure factors, we manipulate word order (canonical SOV vs. scrambled OSV) and the pronoun type (null vs. overt), as well as the kind of temporal connective used between clauses. One hundred and thirty-three native Korean-speaking adults participated in a multiple-choice questionnaire, in which they were asked to choose the antecedent of the null or overt pronoun. The results reveal that while limited support for the PAH is found, there is a strong preference for the subject antecedent for both null and overt pronouns, even for the scrambled sentences, suggesting that syntactic factors play a greater role in the resolution of pronouns in Korean.
Abstract
This paper investigates whether Korean null pronouns are biased towards subject reference and overt pronouns towards object reference as predicted by the Position of Antecedent Hypothesis (PAH; Carminati 2002), initially proposed for Italian. In particular, in order to distinguish whether pronoun resolution is governed by syntactic or information structure factors, we manipulate word order (canonical SOV vs. scrambled OSV) and the pronoun type (null vs. overt), as well as the kind of temporal connective used between clauses. One hundred and thirty-three native Korean-speaking adults participated in a multiple-choice questionnaire, in which they were asked to choose the antecedent of the null or overt pronoun. The results reveal that while limited support for the PAH is found, there is a strong preference for the subject antecedent for both null and overt pronouns, even for the scrambled sentences, suggesting that syntactic factors play a greater role in the resolution of pronouns in Korean.
