초록
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(3), 279-299. In the literature on the ordering of main and subordinate or adverbial clauses (e.g., Hawkins 1992, Arnold et al 2000, Diessel 2005), and dative alternation (e.g., Pinker 1989, Pesetsky 1995, Krifka 2004), almost all analyses have tried to show what factors are responsible for the different orderings. One of the common findings of the previous analyses is that different information structures require different word orderings. To date very few studies have been conducted to show how information structure interacts with acquisition of such ordering variants by learners of English as a foreign language like Korean learners. The present study tries to show to what extent the factor of structuring information affects decisions on the word orderings of the two constructions by Korean learners of English. For this purpose, two experiments were conducted, and their results show that the syntactic knowledge of L1(Korean) plays a more decisive role in choosing correct orderings of the two constructions than the factor of structuring information.
Abstract
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(3), 279-299. In the literature on the ordering of main and subordinate or adverbial clauses (e.g., Hawkins 1992, Arnold et al 2000, Diessel 2005), and dative alternation (e.g., Pinker 1989, Pesetsky 1995, Krifka 2004), almost all analyses have tried to show what factors are responsible for the different orderings. One of the common findings of the previous analyses is that different information structures require different word orderings. To date very few studies have been conducted to show how information structure interacts with acquisition of such ordering variants by learners of English as a foreign language like Korean learners. The present study tries to show to what extent the factor of structuring information affects decisions on the word orderings of the two constructions by Korean learners of English.
