초록
It has been observed that temporary structural ambiguity often arises in many languages when a relative clause along with a complex NP is parsed. According to the experimental results from the previous studies, different languages show different attachment preferences for dealing with structural ambiguity. For instance, English prefers low attachment (LA) whereas Spanish prefers high attachment (HA) when such a relative clause is parsed. This study aims to investigate whether Korean monolinguals‘ HA preferences in processing relative clause is evident, as predicted by Predicate Proximity and as shown from the previous studies. This study found that the percentage of HA is much higher than that of LA and Korean monolinguals have a timing advantage when the disambiguating is toward HA.
Abstract
It has been observed that temporary structural ambiguity often arises in many languages when a relative clause along with a complex NP is parsed.

For instance, English prefers low attachment (LA) whereas Spanish prefers high attachment (HA) when such a relative clause is parsed. This study aims to investigate whether Korean monolinguals‘ HA preferences in processing relative clause is evident, as predicted by Predicate Proximity and as shown from the previous studies. This study found that the percentage of HA is much higher than that of LA and Korean monolinguals have a timing advantage when the disambiguating is toward HA.
