Abstract

Jang, Young-Jun and Kwon, Young-Kook. 2007. Acquisition of Negation in Korean and English: Growth and Markedness, Korean Journal of Linguistics, 32-4, 735-749. This paper reconsiders a long but still-defying issue of language acquisition by analyzing acquisition of negation in English and Korean. In the account of the diverging acquisition patterns of negation between the two languages, we evaluate the growth and markedness hypothesis, based on the cross-linguistic study on the acquisition of negation conducted by Choi and Zubin (1985). What we first aim in the current study is to discuss the typological type of the Korean language in comparison with English type languages. We also argue that Wexler and Manzini's (1987) "subset principle" fails to adequately explain the acquisition of negation for the child learners of Korean and English. We instead endorse the concept of markedness suggested by such linguists as Vergnaud (1980), Williams (1981), and Hyams (1986), and attempt to account for the change in the value of negation parameter in terms of markedness.

"Every child is born with its language faculty which is common to all human beings and grows into the steady state as a part of human bodies grows or matures language learning involves a kind of domain-specific learning mechanism because unlike the maturation of a human body the main process of first-language stops around at puberty and because the mechanism for a child's language learning often doesn't function well enough while the physical or even cognitive maturation seems well progressed as influential to the language learning process of"
  3. "This seems to be the case of the acquisition of negation and its developmental patterns in Korean and English We suggest that the following would be a plausible scenario both Korean and American children do not process the negative marker in answering questions because the choice of value of the parameter CPN is not available yet when their language faculty is in the more grown state they choose the unmarked value of the parameter CPN negative value of CPN there occurs a divergence between American and Korean child"
