This study investigates L2 learners’ comprehension of English copy-raising constructions containing an experiencer (e.g., Susan seems to Mary like she is a nice person), in which the subject of the matrix clause is coreferential with the embedded pronominal subject, and there lies an intervening experiencer between the matrix verb and the embedded clause. Previous research has shown that L2 learners, like L1 children, have difficulty comprehending the canonical raising construction (e.g., John seems to Mary to be happy), and that the copy-raising construction also poses a challenge for L1 children. The present study gathers and analyzes data from twenty-eight native Korean- speaking learners of English who participated in a Truth-value judgment task. The results showed the learners’ poor performance on the copy-raising construction. In particular, the learners were consistently making incorrect choices by interpreting the referent of the embedded pronoun to be the referent of the experiencer. This finding suggests that the copy-raising construction presents a similar challenge to L2 learners, as does the canonical raising construction. These results are discussed in terms of intervention effects which may not be limited to the canonical raising pattern but may be generalized to include various types of constructions, including the copy-raising pattern.
Abstract
This study investigates L2 learners’ comprehension of English copy-raising constructions containing an experiencer (e.g., Susan seems to Mary like she is a nice person), in which the subject of the matrix clause is coreferential with the embedded pronominal subject, and there lies an intervening experiencer between the matrix verb and the embedded clause. Previous research has shown that L2 learners, like L1 children, have difficulty comprehending the canonical raising construction (e.g., John seems to Mary to be happy), and that the copy-raising construction also poses a challenge for L1 children. The present study gathers and analyzes data from twenty-eight native Korean- speaking learners of English who participated in a Truth-value judgment task. The results showed the learners’ poor performance on the copy-raising construction. In particular, the learners were consistently making incorrect choices by interpreting the referent of the embedded pronoun to be the referent of the experiencer. This finding suggests that the copy-raising construction presents a similar challenge to L2 learners, as does the canonical raising construction. These results are discussed in terms of intervention effects which may not be limited to the canonical raising pattern but may be generalized to include various types of constructions, including the copy-raising pattern.
