This study reports the results from a self-paced reading experiment that investigates Korean-English second language (L2) speakers’ sensitivity to Principle C on online pronoun resolution. I examine this in the context of strong crossover (SCO) configurations in English to identify the role of first language (L1) and proficiency in L2 processing. The findings show that proficiency appears to predict L2 speakers’ use of target grammatical knowledge online. Highly-proficient L2 speakers show sensitivity to the SCO constraint during online pronoun resolution in that they do not consider a fronted wh-phrase as a potential antecedent for a gendermatched pronoun that intervenes the wh-phrase and its gap. The SCO constraint, on the other hand, does not restrict less-proficient L2 speakers’ online pronoun resolution. The results also suggest that L1 is not a determinant factor in L2 processing; that is to say, L2 processing is not fundamentally different from L1 processing.
Abstract
This study reports the results from a self-paced reading experiment that investigates Korean-English second language (L2) speakers’ sensitivity to Principle C on online pronoun resolution. I examine this in the context of strong crossover (SCO) configurations in English to identify the role of first language (L1) and proficiency in L2 processing. The findings show that proficiency appears to predict L2 speakers’ use of target grammatical knowledge online. Highly-proficient L2 speakers show sensitivity to the SCO constraint during online pronoun resolution in that they do not consider a fronted wh-phrase as a potential antecedent for a gendermatched pronoun that intervenes the wh-phrase and its gap. The SCO constraint, on the other hand, does not restrict less-proficient L2 speakers’ online pronoun resolution. The results also suggest that L1 is not a determinant factor in L2 processing; that is to say, L2 processing is not fundamentally different from L1 processing.
