초록

This study tested the effect of topicality information encoded in a topic-marked subject in Korean speakers' predictive processing of implicit consequentiality sentences when topicality and implicit consequentiality create biases in opposite directions. Findings from a visual world eye-tracking experiment showed Korean speakers’ predictive looks to a discourse referent (i.e., object referent) according to the preceding verb's implicit consequentiality information when the subject of the preceding clause was marked by a nominative marker. However, when a topic-marked subject appeared in the preceding clause, participants were more likely to look at a bias-inconsistent referent (i.e., subject referent). The stronger effect of topicality observed in anticipatory processing is argued to be a consequence of comprehenders' reliance on case-marking information to maximize efficiency of predictive processing.

Abstract

This study tested the effect of topicality information encoded in a topic-marked subject in Korean speakers' predictive processing of implicit consequentiality sentences when topicality and implicit consequentiality create biases in opposite directions. Findings from a visual world eye-tracking experiment showed Korean speakers’ predictive looks to a discourse referent (i.e., object referent) according to the preceding verb's implicit consequentiality information when the subject of the preceding clause was marked by a nominative marker. However, when a topic-marked subject appeared in the preceding clause, participants were more likely to look at a bias-inconsistent referent (i.e., subject referent). The stronger effect of topicality observed in anticipatory processing is argued to be a consequence of comprehenders' reliance on case-marking information to maximize efficiency of predictive processing.
