초록

This study investigates the role of language experience, which is shaped by the distributional patterns occurring in input, in structural preferences in language production. A corpus analysis and a sentence completion experiment were conducted. Thirty-six Korean-speaking adults participated in the experiment, in which they read and completed sentence fragments including either a scrambled or an in-situ wh-phrase. When the participants generated questions, they attached the question-marking particle to a verb as soon as possible after encountering the wh-phrase, suggesting an active dependency formation mechanism. This finding supports the Active Filler Strategy hypothesis, a major account for the processing of filler-gap dependencies, but does not support any effect of readers’ linguistic experience.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of language experience, which is shaped by the distributional patterns occurring in input, in structural preferences in language production.

When the participants generated questions, they attached the question-marking particle to a verb as soon as possible after encountering the wh-phrase, suggesting an active dependency formation mechanism. This finding supports the Active Filler Strategy hypothesis, a major account for the processing of filler-gap dependencies, but does not support any effect of readers’ linguistic experience.
