초록

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of role shifting and expectation serves an independent function in predicting the degree of processing difficulty in center-embedded relative clauses in Korean. In Experiment 1, we observed that head NPs modified by relative clauses, regardless of the order of constituents (i.e., SORELV or OSRELV), took longer to read when the roles corresponding to the traces of the head NPs needed shifting than when they needed not. In Experiment 2, we found that probabilistic distributions pertaining to the head NPs differed as a function of whether or not role shifting for the NPs was required. The mixed-effect models with expectation playing as a predictor on processing difficulty behaved similarly to the model with role shifting being a predictor on processing difficulty. However, mediation analyses in which expectation and role shifting were considered in the same model yielded that the effect of expectation subsumed that of role shifting when constituents were canonically ordered but not when they were scrambled. We claim that the fundamental function of expectation in association with role shifting is additionally effective only when sentence complexity is not extremely severe.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of role shifting and expectation serves an independent function in predicting the degree of processing difficulty in center-embedded relative clauses in Korean. In Experiment 1, we observed that head NPs modified by relative clauses, regardless of the order of constituents (i.e., SORELV or OSRELV), took longer to read when the roles corresponding to the traces of the head NPs needed shifting than when they needed not. In Experiment 2, we found that probabilistic distributions pertaining to the head NPs differed as a function of whether or not role shifting for the NPs was required. The mixed-effect models with expectation playing as a predictor on processing difficulty behaved similarly to the model with role shifting being a predictor on processing difficulty. However, mediation analyses in which expectation and role shifting were considered in the same model yielded that the effect of expectation subsumed that of role shifting when constituents were canonically ordered but not when they were scrambled. We claim that the fundamental function of expectation in association with role shifting is additionally effective only when sentence complexity is not extremely severe.
