초록
This paper will investigate how the Korean EFL learners process unambiguous English and Korean sentences with filler-gap constructions. To proceed this investigation, we recorded the ERP components of the participant responses during the time of processing them. We discovered two features through the ERP experiment. One is that a LAN occurred at the position of the subject following the dislocated object and the indirect object following the gap of the object. The other is that the positive wave forms were elicited at the position of the subcategorizing main verbs and subjects following the dislocated objects. These imply that the Korean EFL learners are syntactically more sensitive to the object movement among filler-gap dependency constructions and even the Korean EFL learners process the given sentences separately based on working memory for integrating the filler and gap.
Abstract
This paper will investigate how the Korean EFL learners process unambiguous English and Korean sentences with filler-gap constructions. To proceed this investigation, we recorded the ERP components of the participant responses during the time of processing them. We discovered two features through the ERP experiment. One is that a LAN occurred at the position of the subject following the dislocated object and the indirect object following the gap of the object. The other is that the positive wave forms were elicited at the position of the subcategorizing main verbs and subjects following the dislocated objects. These imply that the Korean EFL learners are syntactically more sensitive to the object movement among filler-gap dependency constructions and even the Korean EFL learners process the given sentences separately based on working memory for integrating the filler and gap.
