Sentences involving negation and quantifiers can introduce ambiguity, and speakers from different languages often exhibit varying preferences for scope interpretation. This study investigated to what extent Chinese- and Russian-speaking children, who learned Korean as a second language (L2), demonstrate native-like scope interpretations. Additionally, we examined whether their interpretive biases in L2 were modulated by various processing factors, including L2 word retrieval speed, L2 proficiency, and working memory. Results from truth-value judgment tasks revealed that the learners displayed interpretation patterns that closely resembled those of native Koreanspeaking children. Furthermore, the L2 children were less likely to converge on native-like interpretations as they encountered greater challenges in L2 word retrieval. In contrast, neither their L2 proficiency nor working memory capacity modulated the learners’ scope interpretation tendencies. The findings suggest that the ability to efficiently retrieve words from memory may play a significant role in L2 scope interpretation, lending support to the hypothesis that lexical processing can impact sentence comprehension.
Abstract
Sentences involving negation and quantifiers can introduce ambiguity, and speakers from different languages often exhibit varying preferences for scope interpretation. This study investigated to what extent Chinese- and Russian-speaking children, who learned Korean as a second language (L2), demonstrate native-like scope interpretations. Additionally, we examined whether their interpretive biases in L2 were modulated by various processing factors, including L2 word retrieval speed, L2 proficiency, and working memory. Results from truth-value judgment tasks revealed that the learners displayed interpretation patterns that closely resembled those of native Koreanspeaking children. Furthermore, the L2 children were less likely to converge on native-like interpretations as they encountered greater challenges in L2 word retrieval. In contrast, neither their L2 proficiency nor working memory capacity modulated the learners’ scope interpretation tendencies. The findings suggest that the ability to efficiently retrieve words from memory may play a significant role in L2 scope interpretation, lending support to the hypothesis that lexical processing can impact sentence comprehension.
