초록
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the acquisition of English relative clauses by Korean adult learners using an production test and to determine the source of errors by analyzing error types made by Korean learners. To achieve these goals, a sentence combining test was administered on 20 Korean speakers. Thirty test sentences were created according to six types of relative clauses for a quantitative study. In this study, we found that the order of difficulty in the acquisition of relative clauses is as follows: subject < direct object = possessive < object of preposition < indirect object < object of comparison. We also found that there is statistically significant difference in regard to the order. In addition, we found that the contrasts in the acquisition of English relative clauses by Korean learners are mostly attributed to the fact that the processing difficulty of the gap in the relative clauses increases with its structural distance from its head according to the Structural Distance Hypothesis suggested by O’Grady(1997).
