Abstract
This paper investigates the acquisition of relative clauses in Korean by Korean monolingual children and Korean-Chinese bilingual children. The study aims (i) to test Keenan and Comries' (1977) relativization hierarchy and its two different accounts from a processing point of view; structural distance hypothesis (O'Grady et al 2003) and linear distance hypothesis (Hsiao & Gibson 2003), and (ii) to compare monolingual and bilingual acquisitions of relative clauses in Korean. A picture-aided comprehension task with 42 Korean monolingual children and 33 Korean-Chinese bilingual children aged 5 and 6 showed the following results: (i) subject relative clauses were comprehended better than object relative clauses and indirect object relative clauses by both language groups; (ii) monolingual children's comprehension of relative clauses was better than bilingual children's at the same age; (iii) the findings conform to the structural distance hypothesis, not to the linear distance hypothesis. However, this study found no difference between object relative clauses and indirect object relative clauses, which suggests more investigation on the structural distance hypothesis.
