초록

The current study reports the results of two off-line written experiments that examined baseline preference in the interpretation of ambiguous English participle constructions by Korean learners of English. Participants read a list of sentences containing ambiguous English participle phrases and answered comprehension questions designed to show their attached comprehension preference. The results showed that Korean learners of English displayed no clear bias toward either interpretation with only a weak trend toward the low attached reading.

Abstract

The current study reports the results of two off-line written experiments that examined baseline preference in the interpretation of ambiguous English participle constructions by Korean learners of English. Participants read a list of sentences containing ambiguous English participle phrases and answered comprehension questions designed to show their attached comprehension preference. The results showed that Korean learners of English displayed no clear bias toward either interpretation with only a weak trend toward the low attached reading.
