Abstract
In the literature of relative clause (RC) attachment preferences with two antecedents, cross-linguistic differences have been reported. While abundant empirical studies have confirmed that English shows low attachment preference (LA), research on Korean, theoretically predicted to prefer high attachment preference (HA) has been scarce. Empirical support of the theory is in need for this language. Regarding the methodology, it has been shown that online and offline experiments produce consistent attachment preference for head-initial languages (e.g. English, Spanish). However, Japanese, a head final-language has shown an asymmetry between online and offline experiments. The purpose of the present study is twofold: First, to determine whether Korean is indeed an HA preference language, as is predicted by general psycholinguistic processing principles. Second, whether different kinds of methodology provide different attachment preferences in Korean, as in Japanese, but not in English. In the current study, a written survey test (offline) and a self-pace reading task (online) provided consistent results: HA preference for Korean. Therefore, we suggest that Korean indeed prefers HA and does not show the asymmetry to attachment preference, observed in Japanese. Cross- linguistic differences based on word order and test methodology are discussed.
