Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 2007.

This dissertation investigates how Korean children, English KFL learners and Korean EFL learners process different types of referential expressions in the language they are acquiring. English and Korean have typologically different referential systems: in English, a subject-prominent language, a grammatical subject is generally required and pronouns preferentially refer to the topic, while in Korean, a topic-prominent language, zero pronouns are used to encode topic-referring noun phrases and pronouns are infrequent (Givon 1983). In addition, English pronouns convey information regarding gender and stress, whereas the gender- and stress-neutral third person pronoun kyay 's/he' is used in colloquial Korean. This dissertation examines how children and second language learners develop strategies for processing reference and whether there are any differences between first and second language processing.

520 $a This dissertation investigates how Korean children, English KFL learners and Korean EFL learners process different types of referential expressions in the language they are acquiring. English and Korean have typologically different referential systems: in English, a subject-prominent language, a grammatical subject is generally required and pronouns preferentially refer to the topic, while in Korean, a topic-prominent language, zero pronouns are used to encode topic-referring noun phrases and pronouns are infrequent (Givon 1983). In addition, English pronouns convey information regarding gender and stress, whereas the gender- and stress-neutral third person pronoun kyay 's/he' is used in colloquial Korean. This dissertation examines how children and second language learners develop strategies for processing reference and whether there are any differences between first and second language processing.
520 $a The three groups of learners participated in preferential looking tasks. Two experiments were conducted to test whether learners interpret the subject of the test sentences as co-referential with the first, more accessible character (the subject/1st-mentioned character in Experiment 1 and a topic in Experiment 2) or the second, less accessible character (the oblique). In the gender and stress experiments, characters were distinguished by gender and contrastive stress.
520 $a The learners' eye-fixations revealed some aspects of reference in first and second languages. First, the properties of overt pronouns are different in English and Korean: English native speakers interpreted overt pronouns as referring to the subject/1st-mentioned noun phrase and topic in the context provided, while Korean native speakers did not show any preference. Second, Korean children showed developmental changes in the interpretation of null-pronoun subjects: 2-year-olds manifested a recency effect, 3-year-olds showed no preference and 4-year-olds were sensitive to topic prominence. Finally, two groups of second language learners showed signs of L1 transfer: in the null-pronoun subject sentences, English KFL learners tended to rely on subjecthood/1 st-mention rather than topic prominence, while Korean EFL learners were more sensitive to topic prominence than subjecthood/1st-mention. The results indicate that children and second language learners are able to integrate various cues, but are not native-like in that their reference resolution is guided by working memory resources and the typological features of their first language.
