초록
When speakers produce sentences, they go through mapping concepts onto grammatical encoding in the production process. The subject-verb number agreement process can involve two possible processes, conceptual or syntactic agreement. In conditions of number mismatch between the head noun phrase (NP) and the modifying noun phrase (NP) in subject such as ‘the key to the locks’, the speakers tend to make errors in agreement decision for verb. Empirical evidence showed that the English speakers tend to go through syntactic agreement process and other speakers of Spanish, Dutch, and Italian tend to follow semantic agreement process. This study aims to investigate the agreement process of Korean second language learners of English whose native language does not have subject-verb agreement process. The study consists of two experiments, off-line test and on-line test. The results showed that participants did not show semantic (conceptual) agrement at all in off-line test. However, multiple token effects were observed in low-proficient group of on-line test. Reaction time measurement supported the effect. Low-proficient group tends to spend longer time in multiple token stimulus than in single token stimulus.
Abstract
When speakers produce sentences, they go through mapping concepts onto grammatical encoding in the production process. The subject-verb number agreement process can involve two possible processes, conceptual or syntactic agreement. In conditions of number mismatch between the head noun phrase (NP) and the modifying noun phrase (NP) in subject such as ‘the key to the locks’, the speakers tend to make errors in agreement decision for verb. Empirical evidence showed that the English speakers tend to go through syntactic agreement process and other speakers of Spanish, Dutch, and Italian tend to follow semantic agreement process. This study aims to investigate the agreement process of Korean second language learners of English whose native language does not have subject-verb agreement process. The study consists of two experiments, off-line test and on-line test. The results showed that participants did not show semantic (conceptual) agrement at all in off-line test. However, multiple token effects were observed in low-proficient group of on-line test. Reaction time measurement supported the effect. Low-proficient group tends to spend longer time in multiple token stimulus than in single token stimulus.
