초록
Surface word order or surface syntactic hierarchy has been assumed to be the most deterministic factor in scope interpretation. This study challenges the idea suggesting that word order is associated with other factors that can potentially affect scope interpretation. To investigate the genuine effect of word order, this study experimentally investigates the scope interpretation in Korean S(quantifier) - O(quantifier) - V sentences and O(quantifier) - S(quantifier) - V sentences. If surface word order is the primary reference Korean speakers use to interpret scope-ambiguous sentences as suggested by previous studies, the object-wide scope reading is predicted to be preferred when the word order is OSV. We asked participants (37 native Korean speakers) to judge whether they accept the surface reading or the inverse reading of doubly quantified sentences in different word order (SOV vs. OSV). The results of our experiment show that the object-wide scope reading is not preferred even in OSV order. The results indicate that the great effect of word order must be carefully reconsidered.
Abstract
Surface word order or surface syntactic hierarchy has been assumed to be the most deterministic factor in scope interpretation. This study challenges the idea suggesting that word order is associated with other factors that can potentially affect scope interpretation. To investigate the genuine effect of word order, this study experimentally investigates the scope interpretation in Korean S(quantifier) - O(quantifier) - V sentences and O(quantifier) - S(quantifier) - V sentences. If surface word order is the primary reference Korean speakers use to interpret scope-ambiguous sentences as suggested by previous studies, the object-wide scope reading is predicted to be preferred when the word order is OSV. We asked participants (37 native Korean speakers) to judge whether they accept the surface reading or the inverse reading of doubly quantified sentences in different word order (SOV vs. OSV). The results of our experiment show that the object-wide scope reading is not preferred even in OSV order. The results indicate that the great effect of word order must be carefully reconsidered.
